It is not. It is a coffee maker. Did you read the title to this thread or the OP's original post?

No more high-tech coffee makers for me. My simple pour-over brewer, Frieling French press, and gooseneck kettle (w/thermometer) are all indestructible, fast, cheap, and make really yummy coffee. Lesson learned.

My biggest issue with pour overs and presses is they usually are single or double serve solutions. I want to brew at least 3 or 4 servings.

For exactly that reason, I own two sizes of Frieling presses. When I want 1-2 cups, I use the smaller one; and when I need 3-4 cups, I use the larger one.

The Freiling open spout is a weakness though if you're trying to keep things warm for longer than half an hour or so. If I need more than my 32oz Freiling, it's actually easier to just do two or more pour over batches and put them directly into an insulated carafe. Plus you don't have the mud of a press so guests are less scared.

You probably knew everything I mentioned, but maybe some others here can learn a few handy new tricks.

I have this at my office "Capresso 465 CoffeeTeam TS 10-Cup Digital Coffeemaker with Conical Burr Grinder" and we love it. Have been using it for a little over a year and we get compliments all the time from our clients.
At home I use the baratza encore grinder and do a pour over and love that as well. Pour over is a little more hands on but it is worth it. |

Some people just want to push a button and watch the magic happen, I am not one of those. If you can boil water, measure coffee and use a scale then perhaps a Chemex is for you. About $80 for the Chemex, filters and coffee will get you started.

Is the Chemex even needed if going that route?

For everyday brewing, nothing beats a Frieling double-wall stainless French press. Fast. Easy. And foolproof. Last year, I bought, tried, and returned a pair of K-cup machines which couldn't come close to the Frieling for flavor. The cost and complexity of specialty machines don't appeal to me, either. Here's my entire arsenal. Two sizes of the Frieling, a gooseneck kettle with thermometer, a Capresso burr grinder, and the Hario.

I have a 36oz Frieling, I think it's 15 years old, haven't had to replace a thing. The screen is a little worn, but still going strong. I used to keep a smaller Bodum around but got mad at how bad it was and smashed it. Rereading the last two paragraphs, it appears coffee makes me mad. |

For one cup, it's tough to beat a Clever, although you do have to boil water. It's like a melitta cone with a built in stopper that releases when you set it on your cup. Steep for 4-5 minutes and you have a full bodied cuppa free of debris.

This is the same setup that I have. I actually keep the Chemex on one of my burners, at the lowest setting, to keep it hot.
