Chemex 8-Cup

The biggest problem I have with the Chemex is having to pour the coffee immediately into a carafe otherwise it cools too quickly in the glass Chemex. I find I use my Aeropress 99% of the time in the morning to make coffee. The Chemex just sits on my counter looking pretty.

I had one of these years ago and forgot why I didn't like it. While it is very stylish and makes an initial nice cup of coffee it loses heat very quickly. And reheating on the stove is not the best.

I've only just received this coffee maker, so this review represents my first thoughts. Will revise after further use. As my title suggests this is a very good looking coffee maker. Almost a piece of art. I purchased--but did not need to use--the company's quite expensive filters. The high quality u...

Bought an 8 cup Chemex in Sept. 2021 to replace a 3-4 year old 6-cup that we broke in the sink. This is our third or fourth Chemex and our first 8-cup. Couldn’t remember which model we had until we got the larger one and our 1.2 L kettle didn’t fill it as far. The new 8-cup glass isn’t obviously thi...

It's taken me a while to work out a system that works for me for using my Chemex 40 ounce coffee pot , but now that I have I can make consistently good coffee with it. In addition to the coffee pot I use a Java press hand cranked coffee grinder, an electric kettle, and a four cup measuring cup. The ...

I decided to give pour-over-coffee a try, and so I bought this Chemex with a gooseneck electric kettle. Currently I am using a cheap $20 blade grinder, but even then the resulting coffee from this is amazing. My first attempt I failed miserably because my coffee grinds were too course. Second attemp...

I've used Chemex since the 1970s and always preferred it to any other way of brewing coffee (other than espresso). However, the pot I just received, while it appears identical to the one that broke, does not fit the wooden handle pieces well. There's a gap that looks like the shape of the wood isn't...

Have been using press pot…like drip coffee flavor better because filter takes care of residue/grounds...seems less acidic. Wish this had come w/a lid

I would have given a five star rating for the Chemex Coffeemaker, except there was no filter included!

In a nutshell, that's the big plus for this. You can control the coffee, the grind, the brew temperature, the beans, you name it. If you have a coffee grinder, great. That is the simplest way to control the grind. Even a whirly bird (blade) grinder should work fine with this coffeemaker. If not, the...
