    The only coffee maker you’ll ever neex

    Not only does the best-tasting coffee I’ve ever had in my life come from this thing, but it’s also so much more beautiful in appearance to have on your countertop than a typical plastic pot. It pours well, it’s heavy duty, it’s perfect.

    Great way to make coffee

    I drink a lot of coffee everyday and really enjoy the process of making the coffee. Prior to getting the Chemex I used a Bodum french press every day.

    I love this thing

    I absolutely love it. Between ease of setup and use, the size of it allowing me to brew a good amount of coffee in one shot, and it works with literally any filter cones you can get, it's as close to the perfect pour over system you can get without spending a silly amount of money.

    A regular joe drinker's review

    I'm not what most would consider a coffee connoiseur. I simply enjoy great cups of coffee.I've had the great honor of having amazing coffee throughout europe, at many 5-star hotels, in dive coffee shops that know what they are doing, and the best coffee ever at the Blue Bottle in San Francisco.
