Review on ☕ Chemex Pour-Over Glass Coffeemaker - Classic Series: 8-Cup with Exclusive Packaging by Denise Woodcock

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Do it right, you won't regret it

If you're buying Revain's Chemex you probably already know why you're buying it. But if not, here's a little condensed history of my coffee brewing journey: Chemex bought at Crate and Barrel, manual grinder, wrong size filter, bad coffee, boiling water, wrong grind, bad coffee, grind, best, but still more bitter Coffee, switch to plastic Procter Silex kettle over pot and spoon, better coffee, still not great but getting better. Travel home for Christmas, cancel Chemex, order a new Chemex from Revain, coffee quality is improving now, two years later, stop being cheap and buy Buonavita Power Kettle, Automatic Burr Grinder, Hario Scale, the coffee quality is improved. Lessons for you: Making coffee is a journey, I've learned a lot over the years through mistakes and trial and error before buying things that have made the process so much faster, easier and more consistent. . I would recommend if you are new to brewing getting yourself a scale and kettle (temperature controlled) so you understand what affects the flavor of your coffee and how to consistently brew an amazing cup. : If you are new to casting, don't judge Chemex until you get it right. If so, it will be one of the best cups of coffee in a beautiful timeless glass carafe to impress your friends or guests the morning after.
