Chemex 10 Cup Coffee Maker

Chemex 10 Cup Coffee Maker The Chemex Coffeemaker was invented over 60 years ago by German chemist and artist Dr. Peter Schlumbohm. The simplicity of the Chemex coffeemaker’s elegant hourglass shape has been honored for its design by many prestigious museums, including the Smithsonian, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Its functional capabilities are also world-renowned. The Chemex uses a thick paper filter that removes many of the impurities that electric makers allow to pass through, making the coffee much more pure and flavorful. It also brews directly into the serving container for simple decanting and cleaning. While pouring, the wood collar keeps your hands safe from the heated coffee inside. All of these features combine to make the Chemex Coffee Maker a true classic.
Customer Review: Simple, straightforward, great coffee
We got the Chemex because our rental house has very little counter space in the kitchen. We love it — works great, sits on the stove, makes lovely coffee. Highly recommended if you’re a “back to basics” kind of person.
Customer Review: 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 your hand into the reservoir. Some people prefer to add hot water and soap and give it a good rinse, which is fine if you clean the moment you empty the pot, but if you’re like me and you let the remaining sip or two sit until a nice coffee stain is on the glass, then you need some good ‘ol fashion friction to get it clean. The best thing I’ve found: a baby bottle cleaner. It’s narrow enough to get into the reservoir and the angle can be adjusted to scrap the walls, too. Brilliant!

3. Electricity Free: As long as you can boil water, you can have coffee.

4. Mud/Sludge: French press and stove-top espresso-style brewing always leaves a thick slime at the bottom of an otherwise rich cup of coffee. Don’t get me wrong: I think that’s good (I use a French Press when I’m in the mood), but the cone on a Chemex doesn’t allow that at all.

5. Style/Size: the Chemex coffee pot is a relic (designed in the 40s) and the wood cuff with rawhide tie screams simplicity and elegance and it’s a wonderful, minimalist sight on any kitchen counter (and unlike electric coffee makers, easy to move if you need the space).

Some drawbacks any purchaser should consider:

1. Time: it does take 5 - 10 minutes of labor to get the morning cup of coffee.

2. Cones: you can’t run over to Wal-Mart when you use the last filter; you need to find a specialty store or go online, which means you need to plan ahead.

3. Cold Coffee: no electric hot plate (thank god) means coffee not poured and consumed immediately gets cold quickly. You can buy a wire guard and a glass lid so your Chemex can be warmed on the stovetop. I think that’s more labor added to an already laborious endeavor. Just have a warmed thermos ready and use that to store any unused coffee.

4. Learning Curve: It does take some time to get the grind right, the amount right and the water level right to find a cup which caters to your tongue.

5. Cleanability: I know this is in the advantages column, as well, but it’s worth mentioning that a lot of people hate cleaning these things. To submerge it does mean pulling off the wood cuff (which is a small pain) else it will get nasty over time.

Bodum 1548-01 Brazil French Press Coffee Maker. 8 cup (4 US cup)

 Bodum 1548-01 Brazil French Press Coffee Maker. 8 cup (4 US cup) Bodum 1548-01 Brazil French Press Coffee Maker. 8 cup (4 US cup)
Customer Review: Great product for the price
I recently bought the Brazil press, and so far it’s been fantastic — no cracks or chips in the beaker (knock on wood), no ill-fated high-pressure explosions — nothing but great-tasting coffee.

I do have two minor complaints:
1) It’s much harder to clean the grounds out than I expected (but I think that is probably true of any press pot)
2) There is no way this makes 8 6-ounce cups of coffee. Note that the description says 8 cups, but 4 US cups! I make about half of the pot, and it fills one mug with room for cream.

Otherwise, I love it! I am so happy I went with this instead of buying a new drip coffee maker — better coffee, and it even takes up less space.

Melitta 5 Cup Non Digital Coffee Maker with Removable Water Tank

Melitta 5 Cup Non Digital Coffee Maker with Removable Water Tank Customer Review: not as hot as original
For years I had a melita 4 cup coffee maker and it was great with real hot coffed but I moved 3 times and it finally died. I tried to get another but they had discontinued the model. I have tried several others, mr. coffee etc. and they were ok but once you put milk in the coffee it was luke warm. I was excited to find another small melita. It is better then the others but it has some safety thing where the coffee stays hot buy not real hot and if you put in milk it is less hot. It is not as bad as luke warm but not much better. I am very disappointed.
Customer Review: A rare find - a good small coffee maker
Since I only drink 2 mugs of coffee a morning, the large coffee makers burn coffee before I’m done. It’s becoming increasingly hard to find a well designed 4/5 cup coffee maker these days. So many require a ridiculous method for removing the filter. Anyway, this Melita is good looking and has a normal swing basket. The carafe works beautifully w/no drips when you pour. While filling the plastic water reserve is easy, it makes it difficult to move the coffee maker because if you grab it by the back (which is the reserve) it slips out. Nothing spills, but it’s taken getting used to making sure my main grip is on the front basket when I move it on the counter. I highly recommend this machine.

Customer Review: Melitta Manual Coffee Maker
I was brought up on Melitta drip coffee makers and that’s all I’ve used so you might say I have more than 65 years of experience with these. We used to take them on vacations because the coffee we made so far out-distanced other available percolated or coffee-maker generated coffee. My only disappointment is that the purveyor of these for Amazon charges much more money for the set than does the Melitta site on the Internet. How did that happen? So far I’ve always found Amazon to have the best prices for everything I purchased online.
Customer Review: phenomenal taste
I had been using the manual plastic cone filter holder for many users and recently switched to the porcelain. There is a huge improvement in the taste, probably because the porcelain conducts heat better. It’s also convenient to be able to put the cap on the carafe when the brewing is finished. The coffee stays warm for about 60 minutes or so.

Two complaints: the #4 filters are a bit too small; in some ways, the #6 filters work better. Also, there is only one hole, so brewing can be a bit slow sometimes, and there is occasional clogging which requires my adjusting the filter a bit.

But it does produce the best coffee I’ve ever had at home, a coffeehouse, or a restaurant. With coffee, lo-tech and old-school is the best way to go.

Customer Review: Disappointed
This product is a huge disappointment! We replaced our previous B&D spacemaker with this new one. It worked well for a few days, then started leaking coffee & grounds all over the counter and also grounds into the carafe. The Brew Basket seems to pop open, thus causing the problem. We thought we were purchasing a well made product, considering the Black and Decker name, but obviously not! Their “quality” of product has definately gone down hill and I would NOT recommend this product!
Customer Review: Poor quality
The Black & Decker SpaceMaker Under-The-Counter Coffee Maker needed spacers to keeping it from leaking all the water out, but even with these it leaks 3 cups of water duing a 12 cup perk. I would try a new one if I can get this one replaced, because I have had good luck with Black & Decker in the past.

Bodum Chambord 12 Cup French Press Coffee Maker 1932-16USC

 Bodum Chambord 12 Cup French Press Coffee Maker 1932-16USC Often referred as a French Press or Plunger pot, this coffeemaker is the most elemental way of making coffee. It captures most of the oils found in the coffee bean to provide a rich-tasting, complex coffee. The French invented the press pot in approximately the 1850’s. The first pots were metal, and functioned roughly like they do today pressing coffee grounds to the bottom of a metal pot, through a metal screen (or sometimes through a loosely woven material). In the 1930’s, the Italians reinvented the French press pots, using first metal, and then glass. The pot has been refined over the years to the single-chambered French press pot we know today. Bodum is a leading French Press manufacturer in the USA and the Chambord is classically styled with modern glass, metal, and plastic materials to mimic those that became popular during the 1930’s in Europe. How does it work? It’s simple: Now take the plunge; slowly push the plunger down, to filter the coffee. Doing this slowly will keep most of the grounds under the filter of the plunger Pour the filtered coffee Makes up to 12 Cups Requires no electricity
Customer Review: perfect sized french cafetiere
great size for making plenty of coffee in the morning and stays fresher than filtered coffee.
Customer Review: Bodum Coffee Pot
We love this french press coffee maker. It’s a 12 pot which looks big when you take it out of the box and is great when you make coffee and want multiple cups. The coffee is delicious! It won’t stay warm long in this french press so we just drink it up.
