GCBC Pour over Pottery update

Purrdy. Do you need to preheat it? My guess is that it would pull a lot heat out of the water.

I guess you could pre heat, I dont think the water goes through it slow enough to matter... the mugs I use from the same clay keep the coffee fairly warm with out pre heat...

That is a nice way to do a handle, I don't care for the tea cup handles you see on the other ones and no handle is bad.. learned this in the R&D department at the sprawling Stray Clay Studio Campus 

Update... have a few test filter holders just off the wheel sized for the Chemex small filter and looking for some copper wire or tube to make a filter cone holder (like at some coffee bars but cooler looking...

(some fluted some not fluted... the debate goes on

Hi, wading into this thread because today I found a 13 cup handblown Chemex MIB at the thrift store today.  It's real purty :-).  I was reading about the filters which you can get at Sweet Marias, but would one of your PoP's work?

Sweet find on the Chemex....    I am using chemex filters.. 

My primary goal is to make a better looking pour over for the little local coffee house up the street.  I decided to pursue a design that uses the chemex filters because arguably that process makes better coffee than the standard paper cone (also its easier to throw a piece of pottery with a 3/4 or 1 inch round hole than to make a melitta style cone holder.

check around the net... I think amazon was cheaper or maybe it was the minimum order that stopped me from using sweet marie's   :icon_scratch:

My chemex is in stiff compotition with the Cory gasketless vac Chemex is easier to clean...

wet the filter with hot water, it gets the aper taste out and heats up the carafe (so I read someplace in here)

Ah,good advice - I looked back at previous posts and think I'll try paper (for those that don't like "mud" in their cup) and the gold filter for myself.  This was a good find - the box and instructions booklet was on another shelf, and I had to hunt to find the Chemex on another shelf with the glassware.  The pricetag on the box said filters were included, but there were none in the box.  I may go back at lunch today and see if they are on another shelf.  When I was checking out, the little girl behind the counter says "You're in luck - seniors get an additional 20% off today".  Groan.  I didn't argue - I took the discount as payment for the slight (I'm 45).

?!?! OOUCH ?!?!!

B|Chemex uses the gold filter I think... I may have to try that some day... The Chemex filters are more $ than regular cone filters but still pretty reasonable for good coffee.

You are really getting some cool looking designs going there. 

[headchange4u]

Those look pretty sweet.

[J.Jirehs Roaster]

Getting closer... this is fresh out of the kiln.. but loading some new ones tonight that I made after actually seeing the small Chemex brewer @ Intelly on Sat.

[John F]

Getting closer...

Oh man... that is cool.

It's starting to look like a haunted forest or when the trees start to walk around type thing.

Would overly frequent posting be helped by Flomax?
