Anyone have a Chemex?

For ease I prefer the french press; for cleanup I prefer the pourover filter; for quality I'd call the press and a Chemex (or pourover) about a dead heat. You know you have to stand there and dribble water and stir for a few minutes, right?

You can use my pourover filter if you want. Six of one half dozen of the other.... but it has zero glamor factor compared to a nice Chemex.

This is for my desk at work- I'm using a french press now, but I'm looking for something that will produce a little less sediment. (I know I know grinder grinder blah blah)

I've been looking at pourovers too, but worried about the mess.Thoughts Senor Moo?

He's either old enough to be used to this, or it will teach him what geezer-hood has in store for him...

The same mess as cleaning up a drip maker. Just let the filter/grounds drip dry and toss it in the trash......

That's (dribble) about it. (dribble dribble) A Swissgold filter makes coffee more like a press but is a bit messier than paper filters. (dribble)
