A side note: it appears the Chemex fold-type filters will fit in this device. In case you’re wondering why the filter in the photo is “natural,” it is simply because I can’t find the white ones anywhere. However, when faced with the choice between genetic mutations within my body or a good cup of coffee, I choose the coffee. The argument against white filters is that they are bleached in a process that creates dioxin, the most powerful carcinogen on the planet. I don’t know why, but the coffee seems to be smoother. The little extra time it takes to do this is no big deal to me I found that it only adds a couple of actual minutes to the overall prep time. With this Melitta two-piece design, one boils their own water and can thus have total control over both the temperature of the water and the flow of the water through the coffee. The problem is the temperature electric pots either don’t get it right or their internal design ultimately fails and either makes the water too hot or too cold. are all factors, I’ve taken care of these elements but still have crappy coffee. Of course, coffee quality and grind, water quality, etc. ![]() Even at the full price of $11.99, it beat the Chemex by thirty bucks.īased on my research at sites like INEEDCOFFEE and by my own trials, I believe that the major problem with brewing coffee is controlling the temperature of the water. Basically, it is the same setup: a cone-holding device on top, a carafe on the bottom and you add your own boiling water. Since I had been contemplating a Chemex for quite some time, this thing intrigued me. It’s a Melitta six-cup manual coffee brewing system. So the other day, I was in World Market looking for stuff unrelated to coffee when I saw this little jewel: So realizing this, and realizing that I haven’t put out a new book in a couple of years, I came to the conclusion that my coffee-making has been terribly off for the last couple of years.īut I digress again. There’s something about that perfect cuppa joe as you’re firing up the laptop that really gets the creative juices flowing. But unlike some of my peers who will accept any kind of awful-tasting dishwater brew, I will not. I’ve been through at least ten coffee pots of different make and design and found them all to come up short when it comes to brewing the perfect cup.
