Do you recognize my avatar? If you do, then there is a good chance you don't settle for the stale, tepid version served in most offices. What lengths do you go to? Do you use LabVIEW in the brewing (or roasting!) process?

It is hard to see the image on your post. But going to your user page shows a slightly bigger and clearer image.
It just looks like a coffee pot with a big funnel on the top So partially recognised.

Yes, it does show up quite small on here! Maybe I'll just go back to my steaming coffee cup...

Once you are at the user page, you can right-click the image and "open in new tab". Now you get an 800x600 version.
Alternatively, you could just google the name chemex. 😉

We have a large cafetiere for making a big pot of fresh coffee for the first one of the day in our team. I then tend to move onto nicer-than-what-they-offer-us-in-the-office instant coffee for the rest of the day - we also have a little canteen in the building that does proper coffee too.
I also backed a Kickstarter for a coffee maker/cup thing: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/oomphcoffee/the-oomph-better-coffee-on-the-go/description

The Oomph looks pretty neat Sam! It actually looks a lot like an aeropress with a travel mug around it. In my cubicle I'm often using the aeropress, and sometimes the clever dripper, both are very quick and easy to clean up. At home I use more time consuming methods, they usually get a 3-4 week rotation it seems. I like the Chemex because of its elegance. I still haven't gotten up the nerve to bring my hand grinder into the office, so I pre-grind my coffee at home. Someday though!

Well, since the Chemex was hard to identify, I switched back to a little coffee mug 🙂

Make me a cup my friend! Its 6:01 AM here and a "Cuppa" is smelling very fine brewing in MyKeurig. Some day I WILL automate that machine to brew MyCoffee while I look at the recient Breakpoint posts.
