For several years the Chemex 8-Cup coffee maker has been a staple in homes and cafes alike. Its eye-catching design and excellent flavor quality satisfy coffee connoisseurs of all types, and its eight-cup capacity makes it perfect for households with multiple coffee drinkers. The Chemex-branded filters are extra fine and do an exceptional job minimizing the amount of oil floating on our coffee. With its one-piece construction, the Chemex is also convenient to brew and serve from the same carafe. 
The first drawback to the Chemex pour over coffee maker is that it uses specialized filters that can be difficult to find. Unless you're lucky enough to have a specialty coffee shop that sells them nearby, you'll probably have to order them online. Second, similar to other cone-style pour over drippers, there is a bit of a learning curve before you can achieve a consistently delicious cup of coffee, and you'll need a gooseneck kettle and scale to do it. Nonetheless, we think the Chemex is an excellent choice for those who prioritize quality and flavor and households with more than one coffee drinker.

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 attempt I got much better results, and I was amazed at the flavor

  One thing to point out - this does NOT come with any filters! I fully expected there to at least be a small trial pack of filters included in the box given the price. When the box arrived I found that was not the case, so I had to order and wait on a metal filter insert to arrive. For the amount of money spent on a cheap glass vase basically, I would have expected a couple of filters in the box at least.  The make of this product is cheap

 My first attempt I failed miserably because my coffee grinds were too course. Second attempt I got much better results, and I was amazed at the flavor. I can never go back to drip coffee again. The resulting coffee from pour over methods is so much more rich and bold

Elegant, but cheap glass

 If you want fresh clean oats you have to pay a premium price for them. If you're willing to put up with oats that have already been through the horse, well, they come cheaper."

Sometimes you need to know when not to be cheap.

 The coffee grinder uses about 125 ML of coffee beans and that seems to be just the right amount for four measuring cups of hot water. It took some experimentation on my part to find a setting for the grinder which suited me and the coffee pot. I'd say my grind is a bit coarser than a medium grind.  I use the unbleached coffee filters and pour a little hot water through the filter before I add the coffee

 I think rinsing the filter removes or at least minimizes the taste of the paper filter and it also warms the pot a little before you pour the larger portion of the just off the boil water into the pot. I've been using Mocha Java coffee which is medium blend and I drink it black so i might be making my coffee lighter than people who use cream and sugar. Presently I'm reheating my cups of coffee in the microwave, but I'm considering getting an insulated stainless steel carafe to store the coffee and keep it hot. A friend says microwaving the coffee makes it bitter, but I have to believe he's overheating the coffee because I don't get that from just warming it up, so I'm undecided about the carafe at present

It makes great coffee when you've worked out a system.

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.

Nice style but lacking in utility

 Some say brew a darker roast at a lower temperature and a lighter roast at a higher temperature. You're the boss.  6. Discard preheat water and begin by pouring a small amount over your grounds

  6. Discard preheat water and begin by pouring a small amount over your grounds. If your beans are good and fresh they will bubble ("bloom") when you pour that first water. The general idea is to get all the grounds wet before you begin the Pour

 Go ahead and add the ground coffee to the filter.  5. When the water boils, I remove it from the heat and begin measuring its temperature. The "standard" brewing temperature is 195 to 205 degrees F

 If my beans were frozen, I'll cheat a little to the high side. This is one area where you can "break the rules" to get a coffee you like. Some say brew a darker roast at a lower temperature and a lighter roast at a higher temperature. You're the boss

You control the variables

 It was, however, nice and strong and full bodied. You get a little bit of bitterness at the bottom of the carafe if you drink the whole thing (which I did obviously) but I would say that what you get at the bottom is roughly the same as what you get from the best French press. There's practically no sediment at the bottom of the carafe when you get to the end and the coffee is very very good.  One caveat here: As this coffee maker has no heating elements, there is no way of keeping the coffee warm for an extended period of time

 There's practically no sediment at the bottom of the carafe when you get to the end and the coffee is very very good.  One caveat here: As this coffee maker has no heating elements, there is no way of keeping the coffee warm for an extended period of time. If you drink coffee as fast and addictively as I do, then that's not a problem, but if you drink it more slowly and leisurely, I recommend getting some kind of thermal carafe to keep the coffee warm.  All in all, a very worthwhile investment

  The coffee I used was medium fine ground Caribou Obsidian Dark Roast which is a current favorite. (I like strong coffee)  I used 1/3 cup of coffee grounds and made about the capacity of the coffee maker I think. (I personally don't consider this to be 8 cups but then I drink my coffee out of a Wile E. Coyote coffee mug of which I got 3 mugs full out of this brewing)  It takes a little bit of time to make the coffee

 (I personally don't consider this to be 8 cups but then I drink my coffee out of a Wile E. Coyote coffee mug of which I got 3 mugs full out of this brewing)  It takes a little bit of time to make the coffee. You can't just pour all the water in. You have to do it in a few doses so that the water has time to go through the filter

That’s quite an expensive leap for someone who “really did not like coffee all that much” and had already “decided coffee wasn’t for me.”

I really did not like coffee all that much, I thought it was too bitter, too musty, etc.  
Then i fell down the rabbithole.

I got curious, bought a cheap handgrinder, got REALLY frustrated, decided coffee wasn't for me at all  
got curious again, got a comandante c40 which improved things DRAMATICALLY, but still stuck to the beans I was using at the time, which were some supermarket lavazza beans. Now, they were noticably better than everything I was used to, but when I started making pourovers I really, really ran face first into all the problems with them. My philosophy behind sticking with the bad beans is that I could have something to practise technique with, and if I could learn how to make the supermarket beans taste good, I could probably make amazing coffee with good beans. 

However, at a certain point there wasn't anything I could do to make things taste any better. I'd gotten some pretty ok coffee out of it in the beginning, when I was still clumsy with pouring and making underextracted brews. It made weak coffee with a nice strong caramel/cream scent that I liked a lot. When I got better at it and my extraction went up, the coffee got worse and worse. It still had the same lovely fragrance that I loved, but it just started tasting of cardboard. I decided to investigate, I brewed at a lot of different grind settings, and apart from it getting weaker and more hollow at coarser settings and more musty and cardboardy to bitter at finer settings.

In hindsight, it's pretty obvious. I recently ordered some good coffee beans from a local roastery, and the difference is clear as day. I compared what I could see, I smelled the beans and even ate a coffee bean or 2. Some things I learned from that:

1. Beans should smell and taste good and aromatic, not like dirt and cardboard
2. There shouldn't be broken beans in the bag
3. A good grind doesn't improve your coffee, it only gives you clarity on it's quality.

When I brewed with the new coffee I got, I had some coffee from Panama, even though it acted way different because of the lighter roast, and I didn't get the grind down perfectly first try, i could taste SO much, way more than I could ever dream of with the other beans. If you got a good grinder, you shouldn't have to fight for at least an okay tasting cup of coffee. The coffee i got was much more closer to tea than I ever imagined coffee could be. It had this earl-grey like quality both in astringency and presence of this bergamot taste, citrussy and herb-like, with notes of thyme rising up to my nose after I took a sip. Far better than having a hit of nice roasty sweetness followed by glue and paper and phenolic notes.

Having a good grinder is absolutely key, but having good coffee is most certainly not to be underestimated either. I'm having a lot of fun with it, it makes the brewing into a much more culinary experience. I don't think i could ever go back. Thanks to the community for answering my questions and teaching me about this interesting world!

See you around,
