Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this because my Chemex (2 cup, their smallest and about the same capacity as this) broke after a little slip while washing it in the sink. I had found that the Chemex was, despite its nice wood 'neck' piece, quite awkward to hold without touching the very hot glass. So I thought I'd give the Bodum a try, and I'm so happy I did. The metal mesh filter is so easy to use and clean The cork neck (with leather tassle) is very ergonomic and comfortable It makes a great cup of coffee* It is very attractive Environmentally friendly (no filters to throw out... and use the grinds for composting) *Note: It is really only good for one person or maybe two if you use really small mugs. Hope this helps!
