Chemex Users? (Coffee Thread)

[mr beauxjangles]

I've been a casual coffee drinker since college (13 years ago), usually a couple of cups a day. I buy decent coffee but nothing exceptional. I drink crap (dunking donuts) at work every day because that's what we buy and brew for all employees. Long story short, after having the absolute best cup of coffee in my life last month, brewed by a barista using a Chemex, and a nice trip to Costa Rica that included plenty of quality coffee, I think I'm about to order a Chemex and start my journey towards coffee snobery. So...anyone out there using a Chemex or pour-overs? Any advice on what to buy? Beuler?

I didn't know dunkin doughtnuts was crap :(

 

 

I've been brewing the pre-ground Starbucks French Roast because it was on sale at Harris-Teeter.  I got into coffee about 4 years ago and am a full fledged addict now.  I drink about 2-3 cups per day, straight black. 

 

I suppose it's about time to step my game up and dabble on the finer side of coffee.  Those Chemex look nice.

I've been drinking it for five years now where I work pretty much every morning. I just can't take it anymore. I know plenty of people that love DD coffee.

I went through a package of DD coffee last month...I thought it tasted ok but it did mess my stomach up every afternoon.  Maybe that is a sign.

I love DD coffee

 

I had a cup of coffee with dinner at a restaurant in costa rica just to try it. they wheeled out this crazy contraption and poored hot water on the beans. I thought i was on meth. I was up till 5 am, it was insane.

I wish my company had DD.

Never understood the appeal of DD coffee.  Its ok, but nothing more.

 

I used to have a Chemex that my parents gave me when I first moved out. They had used it when they were first married.  It would be about 50 years old today but like a young dumb ass I threw it away and got a Mr. Coffee maker instead.  They have Chemex on display/for sale at the MOMA.
