My wife and I have used almost every coffee and espresso making method under the sun and Bodum's Double-Wall Pour Over is by far our favorite for "regular" coffee. Non-paper filters like a french press taste amazing but often leave a bit of grit in the cup. Chemex arguably tastes even better without the extra grit, but they are expensive, require special paper filters, and don't keep 2nd and 3rd cups of coffee warm for you. Enter Bodum's double-wall pour over. It costs about the same as a Chemex, but the double-wall keeps your extra cups of coffee hot for MUCH longer. I know what you are thinking: "Doesn't it use a metal filter instead of the paper one?" Ah, yes, but here is a secret: you can use a regular, conical paper filter (like Melitta #4, which you can find inexpensively in almost any grocery store) inside the metal filter and coffee is identical to that made in a Chemex. Seriously, you cannot tell a difference. Plus, if you happen to run out of paper filters, you can always just use the metal filter by itself.
Additional tips:
-If you are going to drink all the coffee immediately after it's made, you can get the single-walled Bodums for $20ish that taste the same.
-When you put your conical paper filter in the metal filter, rinse it out with water prior to putting coffee in it to wash out the slight paper taste and help the paper filter cling to the side of the metal filter.
