   Chemex makes great pour over coffee. This version of the classic carafe has bumps that help in aerating coffee/wine as you swirl. Yes, it does make a difference but of course you can also aerate in the plain carafe – this version makes it faster.

   I really like that this has a handle vs. the classic wood collar (I also own that version). This is made from borosilicate glass which is much better than regular soda lime glass. Borosilicate glass is more resistant to thermal shock (cold/heat) & tends to be more sturdy. This carafe is dishwasher safe.

   Chemex does NOT include any coffee filters with this carafe which is a mistake IMO. They should include at least 5 to get you started & try out the Chemex filters. Luckily, I had a couple in my cupboard but if you’ve never owned a Chemex, you will need to put some filters in your cart.

   This makes the best coffee, better than a very expensive machine. The only potential drawback is that it doesn’t keep the coffee warm if you make more than 1 or 2 cups, but you can always pour into a thermo carafe.

   I recommend getting a warming plate to use with this glass coffeemaker.

   I bought this to replace my normal glass Chemex, which I accidentally broke. I guess the dimples are a neat feature if it’s something you want to experiment with, but in my opinion it seems gimmicky and just makes the Chemex even harder to clean. I’m going to stick with my V60 for now.

   There are a few differences between the standard handle 8-cup Chemex and this one. An old one weighs about 100g less, but the walls feel just about the same. The ChemAer version does not have any seams but Chemex does not say specifically that it is hand-blown so that is unclear. The third, is the paddles. They really do increase aeration and increase the swirling effect for coffee. I have not tried this with wine, but it would seem to increase the aeration of any liquid.

   Everything else of them is the same, including the belly button. The new version is 5 dollars or so more than the paddles version, so if you are looking for a new Chemex, give this one a try. So far the paddles make swirling easier and make the coffee easier to measure evenly with a TDS and for having a similar profile all the way through. It seems like a small upgrade but with a nominal price and functionality it seems worth it. I am excited to try it out with wine as well. Recommended!
