I used a Chemex until I dropped and broke it one day and then replaced it with a Bona Vita automatic drip coffee maker that I'm rather pleased with. The Bona Vita is oft-cited on the various forums I researched as striking a good balance of value and quality for demanding coffee connoisseurs willing to venture into a non-pourover option. It is supposedly "engineered" for optimal brewing temperature, water/grounds contact time and uses a shower head for good, uniform coffee grounds saturation.

- jdnier 12y agoI'll second that. It's really excellent if you don't have the patience for pour over brewing. I recently discovered the baby Chemex ($30), which works really well brewing for two people. It's smaller and stockier than the usual 6–8 cup Chemex pots, and probably won't break as easily.
