Been married for 17 years. Think I'll stick with what I've got thanks.
Got another for my list... Chemex coffeemaker with a Kone filter (not in pic).
I'm a big user and fan of the Chemex (we actually have two
), but I suspect part of the taste comes from how the paper filters are processed/cleaned, it really makes a difference in the oils, peaty flavor, etc.Have you tried the traditional Chemex filters vs. the re-usable Kone?
Well, I don't have it yet. I plan to use the bleached Chemex filters. In my research, I read some comments about the natural filters adding odd flavoring. Is that what you're referring to? I'd love to try a Kone too, but looking for some input on that. Maybe I can test them out as Sur la Table.I'm a big user and fan of the Chemex (we actually have two

The natural filters take out much of the oil from coffee grinds, which makes the coffee really smooth and at times more flavorful. It's not the best option if one does not like their coffee really oily and bold, in my opinion. Still, I love mine and use it almost every day. I do say, if you don't have one, both a hand grinder and a goose-neck kettle along with a scale are a worthy investment.
I don't have anything on my Christmas... Hanukkah, "Holiday Gift List". There really isn't anything I need or particularly want. I always appreciate a gift certificate to a nice restaurant. I think I prefer an experience than a tangible item.
Honestly, I have enough trouble figuring out what to get my family and girlfriend for the holidays, I don't have the energy to think of what I even want. Hahaha.
Maybe a nice Burberry quilted jacket would be nice?

Trying to understand your post. You're saying the natural filters make the coffee more bold? Your first and second sentences, as I am readying them, contradict each other.
Thank you for the insight. My mom told me the same thing about them lasting a long time,too. I just ordered one yesterday . I can't wait to get it. thanks again for your help.
A gift certificate to a nice restaurant sounds really good. I hope you get one for Christmas or Hanukkah.
Maybe your girlfriend and your family members may have been dropping some hints about what things they may want for Xmas or Hanukkah.
If you need to find some Christmas or Hanukkah gifts, just go to qvc.com. They have tons of items Online that you can look at. Don't put so much pressure on yourself. Good luck.
ETA: If you really want , Burberry jacket and you got some pennies saved up. Go ahead and buy it. Sometimes it's okay to treat yourself.

Sweet! That would be so awesome to have! Would love to see an Imperial Star Destroyer one as well.
