The Chemex slow coffee brewer is the iconic tool for exceptional coffee lovers.

Slow coffee: the method of demanding baristas
The pour-over method (slow pouring over) is the preferred extraction technique by specialty coffee professionals worldwide. Unlike espresso, which forces water under pressure through the grounds, pour-over allows water to flow by gravity through the filter, taking the necessary time to gradually reveal the complex aromas of the coffee.
This gentle extraction allows for perceiving subtle notes—fruity, floral, chocolatey, spicy—that single-origin coffees (Ethiopia, Kenya, Colombia, Guatemala) develop during their roasting. For specialty coffee enthusiasts, pour-over is not an aesthetic whim: it is the optimal method to taste what a coffee can truly offer, where espresso or classic drip coffee makers tend to standardize flavors.

The pour-over method in 7 steps
1
Boil filtered water, then let it cool down to about 90-92°C (1 minute off the heat after boiling).
2
Fold the filter into a cone and place it on the rim of the carafe, against the wooden collar.
3
Wet the filter and the carafe with hot water, then discard this pre-rinse water. This step removes paper taste and preheats the carafe.
4
Add the ground coffee to the filter. Basic dosage: 24 g of coffee for 400 ml of water (ratio 1:16.5 to 1:18 depending on your preference).
5
Pre-infusion (bloom): pour a few centiliters of simmering water over the grounds to moisten them uniformly. Let it sit for 20 to 30 seconds—you will see the grounds "bloom" like bread dough.
6
Gradually pour the remaining water in concentric circles from the inside out, maintaining a constant water level in the filter.
7
Ideal extraction between 4 and 6 minutes. Too fast? The grind is too coarse. Too slow? It's too fine. Serve immediately.
Barista tip: grind size is the most critical factor for successful slow coffee. Aim for a medium to medium-coarse grind, similar to crystal sugar. Investing in a burr grinder (not blade) makes all the difference—grind consistency is essential for homogeneous extraction. For water temperature, 90-92°C is ideal: too hot, you extract bitterness; too cold, the coffee is under-extracted and acidic. A gooseneck kettle greatly facilitates pouring control. To explore the method, start with a single-origin coffee that has been recently roasted (ideally within 4 weeks of roasting).
Care: hand wash in lukewarm soapy water with a soft sponge. Avoid the dishwasher, which could weaken the hand-blown glass and damage the wooden collar. For stubborn coffee stains, use a light baking soda paste and gently rub. The wooden collar should be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth—do not soak it. Dry the carafe immediately to prevent limescale marks.
Usage precautions: hand-blown glass is fragile; handle with care and avoid thermal shock (never pour boiling water into a cold carafe). Do not expose to excessive temperatures (oven, microwave forbidden, induction forbidden—the carafe is not designed to be heated directly on a heat source). Keep away from counter edges and high-traffic areas. Store the carafe empty and clean between uses.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between slow coffee and espresso?
Espresso extracts coffee at high pressure (9 bars) in 25-30 seconds, creating a concentrated, intense, full-bodied coffee with a characteristic crema. Slow coffee (pour-over method) extracts coffee by gravity in 4-6 minutes, creating a lighter, more aromatically complex coffee where subtle notes (fruity, floral) are better perceived. These are two different philosophies: espresso is the art of intensity, slow coffee is the art of nuance.
Which color to choose: Black or Wood?
The Wood collar faithfully reproduces the original Chemex aesthetic of 1941, with its warm and artisanal look. Ideal for Scandinavian, natural, or bohemian interiors. The Black collar brings a modern and graphic touch, perfectly suited for contemporary minimalist kitchens or industrial interiors. Both versions are functionally identical—it's solely a matter of aesthetic harmony with your interior.
Do I need a specific coffee grinder?
For slow coffee, grind consistency is essential. Ideally, use a burr grinder (manual or electric) which produces a homogeneous grind. Blade grinders produce an irregular grind which creates simultaneous over-extraction and under-extraction. If you don't have a grinder, you can have your coffee ground at your roaster by asking for a medium grind for pour-over (similar to crystal sugar).
Is the aluminum filter really better than paper?
The reusable aluminum filter has two advantages: it is eco-friendly (zero waste vs. disposable paper filters) and it allows the essential oils of the coffee to pass through, which are retained by paper, creating a rounder and more full-bodied coffee. The paper filter gives a clearer and cleaner taste because it retains these oils. Both have their fans—it's a matter of personal preference.
How many cups can you make with 400 ml?
The 400 ml capacity corresponds to 3 to 4 standard cups (depending on the size of your cups) or 2 large American-style cups. Ideal size for a solo or duo breakfast, an afternoon coffee with friends, or after-dinner service. For larger service (4-6 people), there are larger capacity slow coffee makers—consider doubling your brew if necessary.
How to maintain the blown glass coffee maker?
Hand wash in lukewarm soapy water with a soft sponge, dry immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid the dishwasher, which can weaken the hand-blown glass and damage the wooden collar. For stubborn coffee stains, gently rub with a light baking soda paste. The wooden collar should be cleaned with a damp cloth—never soak it. Avoid thermal shock (boiling water on a cold carafe).
Does the coffee maker make a good gift?
It is one of our most popular gifts for coffee enthusiasts and lovers of iconic design. Ideal for housewarming, weddings, birthdays, Father's/Mother's Day, or Christmas. For a complete gift kit, pair the coffee maker with a bag of freshly roasted specialty coffee and a reusable aluminum filter.

Right from the start, I was drawn in by the prologue!!!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Queen of Roses (Blood of a Fae #1) by Briar Boleyn
Genre General Fiction ( Adult), Romance, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Romance
“More primordial than the stars. My name was on his lips as he promised unspeakable darkness to any who came between us.”
Right from the start, I was drawn in by the prologue!!!
I’m a big fan of “touch her, and you die” vibes, but I mean, what’s also not to love about a unique Arthurian retelling with gender twists, a treacherous royal court, a dangerous quest, magical Fae & mystical monsters, entwined with a bit of spice!
Morgan, Princess of Pendrath and true heir to the throne has spent most of her life dimming her light to feel safe and to make others comfortable. She is treated as an outcast in the court and repressed by her family due to the blood of the Fae within her and forced to join the Temple of the Three as a priestess in training to one day replace Merlin.
Her brother, King Arthur, who reminds me of Joffrey from Game of Thrones, later tells her that he has other plans and offers her a choice of the Temple or to marry her off for political gain, unless… that is, she can journey through the great unknown and return with a long-lost fae weapon with enchanted powers known as Excalibur.
Her quest begins with a roguish crew that includes the mysterious, arrogant, and heart-tuggingly handsome Captain of the Royal Guard, Kairos Draven, whom she can’t decide if she wants to stab or indulge in pleasure with.
Along the way are plenty of surprises, mystical creatures, and betrayal, all while Morgan uncovers more of the truth about herself and who she can trust.
This book had intriguing storylines and lovable characters that kept me turning pages and wanting more. I can’t wait to see how it all unfolds and comes together in book 2, Court of Claws, which I just started reading!!

3.5 stars, A little boring to say the least.
Format: Kindle
Wow so I'm not sure where to begin on this one. This was a very different take on the legend of Arthur and Excalibur. This is told from the point of view of Morgan the sister of Arthur. Honestly the first 50% of this book is world building and character building which unfortunately was super boring for me. Morgan to me was a female MC that had a hard time in believing in herself. Sometimes taking too long to understand exactly what was going on around her. Draven was also a different male MC, like I couldn't put my finger on him and what he was all about. It was not until the last 10% of the book did we get some answers on the mystery that is Draven. The other 50% of the book centered around this big journey with everyone having a different motive. We see a spark of magic around this time that had me excited but then we never expanded upon that and what it could mean for the female MC. I feel like I want to read the second book just to see where this goes, but the spice was probably a 2 out of 5. Side characters are ok, Lancelet was fun but I almost felt like I wanted more.

A bewitching retelling of Arthurian legend!
Format: Kindle
In a land where the Fae have nearly become only a legend and those who still posses even a morsel of the blood are few and far between, Morgan finds herself cast aside by most of society due to her rumored half-Fae lineage, including her brother, King Arthur. With the kingdom at the brink of war, Arthur entrusts her with a quest to retrieve a Fae weapon of legendary power: the sword of Perun, Excalibur. Accompanied by men she loathes, Captain Kairos Draven and Ragnar Whitehorn, she embarks on her long and unbeknownst perilous journey, only to find that things she once believed to be myth are in fact very real. With devastating twists, omitted truths, witty banter and fierce action, Queen of Roses leaves you begging to know more about the secrets of Aercanum!
Wow, wow, wow! Going into this story, I did not realize that it was going to be a retelling of Arthurian legend, especially not one with a fantastical twist! The unique spin almost gave me The Witcher vibes and I think adding Fae into the mix was quite interesting. I knew the basics of the legend but after reading this book, it has piqued my interest and makes me want to learn more about it. My attention was snatched as soon as I finished the prologue and I knew that I was going to devour this story. I truly enjoyed the gender swaps and even how Arthur was portrayed as villainous. Morgan’s past and even her parts of her present is absolutely heartbreaking, and I felt for her at times. I can only recall one other book that made me hate characters the way I despised Florian and Arthur, leaving me with my blood boiling and feeling disgusted. Even after finishing the book, Draven is still a mystery to me and I cannot figure out how to feel about him. I guess they just means that the author did an excellent job at conveying each character’s persona! The rich world building and imagery made it easy for me to visualize the places that the group visited along their journey. I am truly engulfed in this story and I cannot wait to see wait fate awaits Morgan and how the Fae will be even more incorporated in the next book!.

Enchanting
Format: Kindle
"Queen of Roses" by Briar Boleyn is a delightful and refreshing reimagining of the classic tale of King Arthur, with a captivating twist that places the spotlight on Morgan, a character who has often been overshadowed in traditional retellings. Boleyn's creative decision to shift the narrative perspective to Morgan breathes new life into the story, offering readers an intriguing and compelling look at the Arthurian world from an entirely different angle.
One of the most commendable aspects of this book is its incorporation of Fae elements, which adds an enchanting layer of magic and mystery to the already familiar Arthurian setting. Boleyn skillfully weaves the world of the Fae into the narrative, creating a captivating backdrop against which the events of the story unfold. This addition not only adds depth to the world-building but also provides ample opportunities for twists and turns that keep readers thoroughly engrossed.
However, while the book boasts numerous strengths, it does have one noticeable flaw: the characterization of Morgan. While it is reasonable to create a flawed and complex protagonist, it appears that at times, Morgan's character becomes overly difficult and hard to relate to. Her persistently negative perception of one of the main male characters, who is a potential love interest, despite his efforts to support and assist her, may come across as somewhat irrational and could test the patience of some readers. Striking a balance between a strong, independent character and one who can recognize genuine support and affection could have enhanced the overall reader experience.
Nonetheless, the allure of "Queen of Roses" lies in its innovative approach to the Arthurian legend and its skillful blending of fantasy elements into a familiar narrative. Boleyn's evocative prose draws readers into a world where magic, destiny, and fate entwine, leaving us eager to uncover the mysteries that unfold within the pages.
