CHEMEX® Ottomatic 2.0 Brewer (and Six Cup Classic) (120V)

So far so good.

It's simple. It's efficient. I had been using the Chemex carafe and doing a manual pour-over. It made great coffee, but it was a little labour intensive. The Ottomatic 2.0 is a 3 step process. Fill the carafe with water to the leather thong, pour it into the reservoir, hit the start button. The coffee is consistent and perfect every time. The machine is compact and stylish, not loaded with complicated bells and whistles. It's a little pricey, but worth the expense, given it's quality and reliability.

Seems to be very well made, solid, and heavy. Makes good coffee quickly and so much easier than boiling and pouring over grounds with a single carafe. Also enjoy the warmer on the base. No need to heat up each cup.

I got this to replace the Bonavita Coffeemaker I used before. This is a very nice unit and I especially like the spray head - very even - makes great coffee very consistently.

Easy to use. Makes delicious coffee. I paired it with a coffee sock and am loving life!

Our client loves their new Chemex Ottomatic 2.0 Brewer - thank you!

"Took this brewer home a little while ago and I have almost no complaints so far! The set-up is the same as a traditional Chemex, but there's no need to stand around and add the water for a minute and a half - just rinse your filter, weigh out 60 g of ground coffee, fill the water tank to the 6 cup line. and flick the power switch. Come back in about 4 minutes, and you've got a full Chemex full of coffee! I love the consistency and the overall quality, and my non-coffee-nerd partner uses it and loves not having to fuss over it.

My only grumble is more with automatic brewers in general, compared to brewing by hand, and it's to do with the water tank. It seems like there's always a small amount of water left behind in the tank at the end of the brew, which stops the element from overheating. I'm curious how accurate your water weight/volume can be when this is the case. I've found that I've gotten quite a consistent and delicious cup so far, but my perfectionist brain doesn't like not knowing my exact specs! The one that I have at home is actually the first version (not the 2.0), so it's possible that they've addressed this in the new version, but I'm not sure.

I'd definitely recommend this brewer if you want something that looks great, doesn't take up a lot of space on the counter, and makes a great cup of coffee without a lot of effort!"
