This aesthetically pleasing coffeemaker also produces wonderfully light, delicious, flavorful coffee.
With the OXO Brew, there’s zero need to worry about pouring too much or too little water, getting the swirl just right, allowing enough time for the grounds to bloom and settle, etc.
The maker produced a rich and robust single cup of coffee, was user friendly and easy to clean.Ĭlearly marked with measuring lines, the OXO Brew's plastic tank holds up to 12 ounces of water and regulates the drip for you. With three drip holes, the Kalita Wave enables more easily and evenly saturated coffee grounds. How it compares to other pour-over coffee makers we recommendīest pour-over coffee maker for multiple cups And while we hand-washed our carafe (removing the wood collar first), the glass is also dishwasher safe. The upside to the fuss is that the extra thickness does an excellent job of straining out any particulates that might sneak through other paper filters.Ĭleaning is also trickier with the Chemex because of its hourglass design, but we found a bottle brush was able to scrub the hard to reach spots. The filters, which are heavier than most brands, need to be folded according to instructions to create a cone-shaped funnel. They also aren’t always in stock on Amazon (again, you may want to buy more than one box at a time if you’re a frequent user). One drawback to the Chemex: It requires special Chemex paper filters that aren’t exactly the cheapest. You can also keep the carafe warm on a glass or gas stove top set on low heat. To combat this, we pre-heated the container with hot water (dump it out just before you start the brewing process), which helped keep the coffee hotter longer. Obviously, it takes longer to brew eight cups (we clocked ours at just over four minutes), so even though the Chemex turned out one of the hottest coffee temperatures in our testing, if two people are sharing the glass carafe (which loses heat rather quickly), your final cups will be noticeably cooler than your first.
CHIMEX COFFEE MAKER FULL
Even better, it allows pour-over coffee newbies to take some of the pouring precision out of the equation with the help of a button-size marker that shows you when the carafe is half-full and you know it’s full when the coffee hits the bottom of the collar. But even when we just eyeballed the amount of water we poured, we turned out cup after cup of coffee that rivals what we get at our favorite gourmet java shop.
CHIMEX COFFEE MAKER TRIAL
Like all the drippers we tested, it takes some trial and error with your pour technique and the ratio of water to grounds to find your ideal brew. An all-in-one model that serves as carafe, dripper and pitcher, it can brew up to eight cups at a time, making it a fantastic alternative for a couple or small group. Invented by chemist Peter Schlumbohm in 1941, the classic pour-over coffee pot, with its leather and wood collar, was inspired by both the Erlenmeyer flask and Bauhaus-era design, and is part of MoMA’s permanent collection.īut here’s the thing: It also produces wonderfully light, delicious, flavorful coffee.
