  • Chemex website says their filters remove undesirable fats, oils, & sediments. A true coffee lover knows that none of these items are undesirable and contribute greatly to the coffee. Not to mention that the substances being filtered out are actually good for you.

  • The point of the chemex is to provide a different cup of coffee. The taste is a very clean, bright cup of coffee. A true coffee lover explores all aspects of coffee and understands the unique take each brewing method brings to the table. That is why I own a Chemex pot, a very nice french press, an ibrik, and will continue to add different brewing styles to my collection so that I can experience all that coffee has to offer.

  • This brewer has been around for 70 years so I am not claiming it is new. The shape does make a difference in the brew & the filters are worlds better than 2 reg. filters. The cost comes from a hand blown coffee maker using high quality materials. The chemist who originally designed this coffee maker did fuse two pieces of glassware together because the cone shape allows for the best extraction of the coffee. You can mock me & others, but until you try coffee from a Chemex you really don't know.

  • Last time I checked water boiled at 212 degrees, and I am inclined to say that it hasn't changed. I keep my water hot on the stove in between pours. Oh and if you think that keeps it too hot and I burn my coffee, I live at 4500 feet so water actually boils at around 203 degrees making it perfect for the chemex. I suggest you try the Chemex before you disregard it.

  • @rdbiii It has actually been shown that at least two of the chemicals present in coffee oils are harmful because of their affect on cholesterol.

  • OMG JUST MAKE THE COFFEE ALREADY

  • @BrickSh0t7 We want you to feel bad about your purchase, and when you try whatever technique each of us uses, you should praise us for our choice. That's the point everyone is trying to get across here.
