suziamo's Full Review: Chemex CM-8A 8-Cup Coffee Maker
I'd visited CoffeeGeek and other sites to find what the best drip coffee maker available would be. I had been using a small french press but it wasn't ideal as I don't like having to pour coffee into another holder after it's made.

To my surprise, one of the most highly regarded coffee makers was a nerdy beaker looking simple glass device (the Chemex) which costs about $35 and uses special filters they make.

The filter is a large square folded 2 ways.

The trick, which I'd noticed at my favorite coffee roasting cafe, is to first merely wet the grounds so that they "bloom" then do not pour a ton of water in but slowly add water.

The result is incredibly rich smooth coffee.

I bought it at Peet's coffee.
