What You Need to Make Stupendously Good Coffee at Home

An elegant, almost sculptural form makes the Chemex 6-Cup Pour Over Coffee Maker ($44) iconic among coffee-lovers. So does the coffee it brews. Yes, you'll need a special filter and a bit of patience to make a cup. And sure, you'll need to carefully pour hot water in circles, watching for the coffee to bloom. But then, you'll have a cup of coffee so nuanced and flavorful that you'll savor every sip. There's a reason every fancy coffee shop in the world has Chemex; your kitchen should have one, too.
