Consider a 12 or 14 cup coffee maker or a percolator for households with multiple coffee drinkers or for those who frequently host guests.
The chemex coffeemaker consists of an hourglass shaped glass flask with a conical funnel like neck and proprietary filters made of bonded paper that are thicker than the standard paper filters used for a drip coffeemaker the thicker paper of the chemex filters removes most of the coffee oils and makes coffee that is much cleaner than coffee brewed in other coffee making systems.
But one thing to consider is the size of your kettle.
Made from borosilicate glass and fastened with a wood collar and tie the chemex coffeemaker brews without imparting any flavors of its own.
The chemex has a long and storied history.
