I loved my Schwinn Stingray, I loved my Matchbox cars, I loved \"Sigmund and the Sea Monsters.\" (Am I dating myself here?)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat wood collar with the leather band on the traditional Chemex models is a bit anachronistic. I mean, it serves a function; you do need some insulation for your hand as you pour your Chemex coffee. But now you have an option, with this elegant, simple, all-glass design. We carry both the 8 cup (40 oz) and 6 cup (30 oz) models. It's sleek, it's clear, it makes coffee the same as the other Chemex models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe glass handle is thick and sturdy but hey, it's glass. My estimation is that you would probably crack the carafe itself long before you would crack the handle, so this model is no more or less fragile than the others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe key advantages to using a Chemex are still true: you control the coffee-water mixture and can ensure it's the right temperature (between 195-205°F) from the beginning of the infusion; you control infusion time based upon the fineness of your grind and pouring technique; and lastly (and I think, of great significance) you can keep this system very clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA disadvantage of paper filters generally is that they can impart a noticeable flavor to the brew, which is especially true of the thick Chemex filters, so pre-wetting the filter is key to excellent brewing. Also, Chemex brewing is best when making larger amounts of coffee: paper taste and heat loss are more noticeable when trying to brew a small batch of say 12 oz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will need to buy Chemex filters to get the best results. Other brands of filters could break under the weight of the water and ground coffee. Want to impress your friends? Tell them that your Chemex is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. We have a page with full instructions for Chemex brewing and downloadable tip sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWant to retain a little more heat while brewing? A Clever Coffee Dripper lid makes a pretty good fit and sits at the same height as the rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sweet Maria's","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46426478084246,"sku":"DRPR-CHEM-0072","price":49.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/1518\/0182\/files\/sweet-marias-chemex-glass-handle-8-cup.jpg?v=1781822927","url":"https:\/\/www.sweetmarias.com\/products\/chemex-glass-handle-brewer-8-cup-copy","provider":"Sweet Maria's","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
