I make a 14 cup glass carafe(currently a kitchen aid maker) of my own bean blend each morning.
I am not too hot on K cups. I miss my old perculator....but the drip maker is ok.
But NOTHING beats my daily ritual of fresh grinding/brewing...
We've been happy Chemex owners since our first as a wedding present in 1972. Thought it was interesting to own a Chemist Beaker on steroids and still cooked coffee in a rocket-ship electric percolator. For reasons I don't remember, we tried using the Chemex a year later and the rest is history...
