Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Chemex Ten Cup Glass Coffee Maker with Glass Handle - 10 Cup Coffee Maker
Customer Review: IF you want to taste the coffee
Summary: 5 Stars
This was new to me until I first tried it, some 3-4 months ago. As soon as I started using it Chemex became my exclusive coffee-brewing method and it's likely to stay that way.
If what you want is a 'clean' yet tasty and flavorful cup of coffee and don't mind spending a few minutes making it AND you don't mind using a lot more ground coffee than you would otherwise the Chemex-made coffee should be your cup of tea, so to speak.
I was completely unaware of anything and everything Chemex until recently when, on the strength of another Amazon review, I decided to give it a try. Add the super-special Chemex filters and some good coffee and you get some honest-to-goodness good tasting, non-bitter coffee. I am happy with what I am tasting. It's a honest, clean coffee and it's good enough for me to drink it unaltered, milk and sugar-free, Espresso-style or with frothed milk. My coffee tastes very much like an Espresso or like a sugarless Cappuccino only not so hot and not so bitter but this is my preference.
The process involves bringing some water to a boil while grinding your coffee - 'medium grind' seems to be optimal. Place the filter into the top of the coffee maker, add the desired amount of coffee and SLOWLY pour the just boiled water after first just wetting the grounds. It takes 4-5 minutes to produce my 3 five-ounce cups. Chemex claims that their own filters have some extraordinary properties including 'the right filtration speed' which (hint) is NOT 'fast'.
The glass quality is good enough to allow for heating the coffee by placing the coffee maker to sit on top of a gas range or a glass top range (but NOT on electric heating coils) without breaking. I don't have a gas range but I can testify that it works well with glass tops.
My verdict so far is 'excellent' for an inexpensive, clean, likely to last forever coffee maker but, as I noted already, you will have to dedicate a few minutes of your time to brewing your coffee if you decide to do it the Chemex way. Ever since I brewed my first Chemex cup I never went back to the old ways. The only use my Cappuccino machine has now is 'milk frother'.
NOTE:
Expect to use A LOT more coffee than you would normally need to make the same amount in a 'regular' coffee or espresso machine. Probably twice as much.
Description of Chemex Ten Cup Glass Coffee Maker with Glass Handle - 10 Cup Coffee Maker
Known as a pristine coffeemaker, Chemex employs all of the chemically correct methods for brewing. Its hourglass shaped flask is made entirely of glass, a chemically inert material that does not absorb odors or chemical residues. The Chemex has no moving parts and will work forever, unless it is dropped or in some other way demolished. Chemex filters are made of the highest quality filter paper. Please note: All of the coffeemakers are measured using 5 oz. as 1 cup. This Chemex coffeemaker has a sturdy glass handle. 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.Kitchen & Housewares
