 Buy it for Looks Maybe.... BEST Coffee YES YES YES November 30, 2008
I Bought the 8 cup handblown Chemex it is a real beauty... But its true beauty lies in the smooth, robust coffee it produces. My only regret is I am 34 years old and only have owned the Chemex for a week. I am so delighted with the purchase I ordered a Chemex handblown kettle. What are you waiting for? I am going to purchase a double insulated Stainless Thermos so I am not stuck drinking the coffee at work anymore.
Simple is Best April 10, 2008
I have used many types of coffee makers over the years, and I keep coming back to Chemex type coffee makers. Some call it work, I call it the extra bit of user involvement that results in a higher quality end product. If you take coffee seriously--I assume you do if you reading this--the small amount of involvement required by this type of coffee brewer is simply the cost of prefection. I recommend that anyone using this type of coffee maker also invest in a one liter vacuum flask to pour your brewed coffee into so that it will stay warm and fresh. You doubtless realize that it is a bad practice to attempt to keep brewed coffee warm by adding heat as on a stove top. The result of adding heat is bitterness and ruined coffee. So, get one of these simple, well made devices, keep it clean, learn how to use it well, and enjoy really first rate coffee for years, never again having to throw away a junky plastic coffee maker. You will be glad you did.

This coffee maker is quite simply the most beautiful, functional and well thought out invention in my kitchen.
Sadly no-where in the UK officially stocks these, so, I managed to get one sent over with a large supply of filters.
The coffee is not bitter, has no "specks" and lasts for ages when placed with a wire interface on an old fashioned Silex warmer, I enjoy coffee with no milk or sugar, and I find that this coffee maker suits me well, as I suspect that drip devices etc. etc. rely on users masking the flavours with additions.
In short, this design icon should be a part of anyone's kitchen, if I had more money, I'd start the European import business for them!
 Fragile beauty November 7, 2007

I grew up in a series of funky houses whose kitchens were thieir worst feature. The only visable touch of civility in the kitchens were some quality cookware and the Chemex on the stove.
Later, my wife got a Chemex for both use and decoration in our own series of unremarkable kitchens.
Actually, we bought one Chemex after another. Despite using those heat ring things and being careful, the allure of functional minimalistic coffee pots decreased as the cracks grew. Buying new Chemex pots every few months was not our biggest expense, but they don't give these things away and it was annoying.
I got to think that in this age of advanced glass technology that it would be possible to make them so they would last forever. My take is that they are purposely made to have a limited life. I can't go along with that.
I did give three stars for style, probably one too much. If I could be assured that the new Chemexes are made of durable glass, then I would assign all the stars and buy one. We really need one as our Melitta just developed its own little crack after about three years of use. Hmmm.
 Really good coffee for the patient October 28, 2007

Bad points first. First, you can't wash the Chemex with the wood handle in the dishwasher. Fortunately, Chemex has come out with a glass handled one that you can. You can buy it direct from the Chemex web site if Amazon doesn't sell it.
Second, you have to stand around and feed boiling water cup by cup into the Chemex. Modern drip coffee makers will do the same thing for you.
That said, the filters are excellent, and the Chemex pot is beautiful. Simple, elegant, and it really does make very fine coffee in the American style, without the bitterness of French press. An excellent gift for coffee freaks.
