Coffee Nerds - a question

I broke another french press. I’m thinking of switching to Chemex and breaking a few of those next. Which do you prefer - press or chemex?

Notes

  1. bananacasts answered: I think I’m done with presses. The second one I was given for Christmas was a total disappointment. I’m considering a simple pourover setup.

  3. shanecyr answered: Chemex NO CONTEST. You have to buy special filters ($7/100) but it’s waaaaaay cleaner and the coffee is excellent. Also no silt.

  7. halfbakedidea answered: We do press, yeah it breaks but the good thing is it doesn’t matter if its the cheapest one, it does the same thing.
