Great Coffee with Less Effort Note: I got the 8 cup versionI’ve been through a lot of coffee makers, and hated them all till now.My biggest issue has always been cleanup! I’d leave coffee-grounds in, be too lazy to clean it up later, get mold growing in the coffee maker’s reservoir, and on and on.The Chemex solves all these problems AND makes a stunning cup of coffee. Making the coffee takes a bit longer, as you basically have to spend about 5 minutes or so watching and pouring… however, it’s fun to do! I actually look forward to the task. You find yourself making fine adjustments to your coffee making methods every day, just to see the differences you can make.Cleanup is where you make up for the 5 minutes of pour time… Takes about 15 seconds… Drop the filter in the garbage, rinse the chemex out, put it back on the shelf. If you use hot water to rinse, it dries instantly… No small parts, no reservoirs that remain damp 24/7 collecting fungus, no series of…
My favorite appliance… Using a Chemex requires water to be heated in a tea kettle prior to brewing, and it requires a finer ground than what auto-drip machines ask for. After the water is brought to a boil, it’s important to wait for it to cool just slightly (about 30 seconds) and then you need to wet the grounds in the filter, wait for them to drain, and then fill the pot with water. Want more than a single cup of coffee? You wait for your first pour to brew, and then fill the filter again.Some advantages over other forms of coffee brewing:1. Taste: I don’t know how it does it, but the filter does keep your coffee from being bitter.2. Cleanability: Users can keep all necessary components clean (anyone who’s brewed water and vinegar through their coffee maker to kill off a bitter taste that wasn’t there when you bought it understands this plight). Oftentimes, the most aggressive criticism of the Chemex is its ponderousness to clean because it’s not possible to get…
King of Manual Drip Devices There is a dirty little secret that many of these appliance companies don’t want you to know. Manual drip coffee from a simple cone device makes the best coffee. Here’s why. You need to have two tablespoons of coffee for every cup. The water must be just below the boiling point when it hits the grounds. Water which is poured in one little stream on top of dry grounds will cause a funnel effect an most of the grounds won’t immersed effectively. The fancy auto-drip coffee makers don’t heat the grounds effectively and don’t cover them with water properly in the brewing process. If most people really looked at the back of their coffee maker and looked at where the water is kept in reserve, they would call a Haz-Mat team to clean it up. Why get this instead of a cheap plastic cone, the filter paper is thicker with the Chemex, retains more bitter oils and the thick glass of the Chemex will keep the coffee warm enough for a second cup (I would suggest getting the…
