Not many people would believe you using the term easy on chemex coffee maker, for one, they are manual coffee maker, and how can this manual brewer is easy to use?

Well, ironically, chemex coffee maker although being a manual appliance, is very much easier to use than your espresso maker or drip filter coffee machines. The problems with these is the number of steps that you would need to follow in order to get the perfect coffee.

Take the espresso maker as an example, one wonders how many steps one must take before the finished product -espresso is brewed. And of course, any wrong steps would meant that the espresso would be ruined.

There is no such worry about chemex coffee maker. All you need to do is to set up the coffee brewer. Which actually meant inserting the filter paper and getting the brewer ready.

After that, all you need to do is to scoop in your favorite coffee blend, add in the hot water and then wait for your coffee drip into the funnel below and after a while, you get to enjoy this coffee.

Some people have questions about the quality on this coffee. Personally, I have tried and found the coffee to be good if not better than those from the drip filter coffee machines. Here is one thing you might like to take note, the lesser parts in a brewer also meant that they are less likely to be tainted by these parts with residual oil or stuff.

So, quality wise, the chemex coffee maker is on par, if not better than the machines. There is however, another value add of this brewer that I know no other brewer would be able to match.

That would be the cleaning of coffee makers. Cleaning and maintaining a coffee maker is very important, it is key to giving you good coffee.

No other coffee brewer is easier to wash than the chemex coffee maker, all you need to do is to rinse the brewer, flush it, dry it then keep it. I believe that the chemex is still selling well today despite competition from other sophisticated coffee machines, this ease of maintenace plays a big role in retaining its market share.

Until this portion, you can see my point in that chemex coffee maker is good, but why it is good for the lazy people? Think of it this way, lazy folks likes everything to be very simple and it must not be too expensive either, and until here, isn’t that the exact description of a chemex?

Imagine, a brewer that is less than $30, brew quality coffee that is possibly better than the drip filter machines, is very easy to use and most important is not even a hassle to clean.

With such a package, even those that are very lazy and cannot bother to brew any coffee, would be affected by the ease of use, the ease of maintenance and of course, the relatively low pricing.
