No spoilers: after testing the Classic, I’m positive that Chemex makes some of the best coffee makers around. I know you’re not supposed to give away the ending in the first sentence, but the Chemex Classic Coffeemaker is one of the best ways to brew coffee, period.
The classic pour-over is available in a range of sizes: 3-, 6-, 8-, and 10-cup. They vary in price and size (obviously), but I tested the 6 cup version for this review. The wooden collar and rawhide strap give the coffee maker a premium, luxurious feel, making its $47 price tag feel a little more justified — but it’s still just a manual pour-over.
