Review on Glass Handle Series Chemex Pour-Over ☕ Glass Coffeemaker - 6-Cup - Exclusive Packaging by Danielle Jenkins

Revainrating 3 out of 5

New filters suck! Replacing the coffee maker above it.

We love Chemex. I'd like to give the coffee carafe 5 stars and 0 stars for the horrible new moon filters that the company is trying to force on its users! Chemex has been the number one choice for brewing quality coffee beans for years. I met her when I was working as a barista at a San Diego coffee shop in the 90's. We had to take coffee tasting classes and Chemex gave us maximum control over the brewing process. However, the new crescent-shaped filters that the company is trying to force us to use are just awful! Who wants to try an origami project early in the morning before a cup of coffee. I can't get my hands on their old easy to use filters and the crescent shaped filters are VERY difficult to use in the mornings! Yes, I could have done it the night before, but who wants to go through that much just to have a cup of coffee. Your new filters broke me. I'm not a Himex girl anymore. I will look in k cups. Chemeks, why did you do this to us?! These new filters are pure torture! Bring your old filters back to the mass market (we're no origami pros) and we'd happily use your wonderful carafe again. Ways to fold paper just to get coffee. This is beyond disappointing. Nobody needs to learn new skills and watch YouTube videos to get a cup of coffee in the morning. The new crescent filters are crazy!

Pros
  • Simple, easy to use, with a classically elegant design
Cons
  • Vulgarity
