Chemex Ottomatic Pour Over Coffee Maker Set
- Coffee Machine

It reproduces Chemex's clean pour-over flavor on a timer, but the glass carafe and an internal reservoir screen are reported failure points worth knowing about before buying at full price.

Overview
An automated brewing base built specifically around the 6-cup Chemex glass carafe, adding a 40-ounce reservoir and one-touch operation to the classic manual pour-over. The set ships with the carafe, filters, a cover, a brew clip, and a cleaner.
This machine exists to remove the manual kettle-and-timer ritual from Chemex brewing while keeping the same paper-filtered cup. It's a US-only 120V appliance, and reviewers who love the flavor are split on whether the build quality matches the price.
- 40-ounce reservoir, brews up to 8 cups
- One-touch hot or iced brewing
- Includes 6-cup Chemex glass coffeemaker
- 120V, US voltage only
Who it's for
Suits an established Chemex drinker who wants the same cup without babysitting a gooseneck kettle. Less suited to anyone wary of spending on a glass carafe that several owners describe as fragile and costly to replace.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Owners who love Chemex flavor say the machine reproduces it without the manual pour, but a recurring complaint is fragility, including a glass carafe some say cracked with normal washing and a reservoir screen that keeps popping loose.
