My chemex broke. I don’t think I will be replacing it anytime soon.

@mandaris A coffee catastrophe! What will you be replacing the Chemex with?
@mandaris Ouch. If you are ever in need of something similar: the Ratio Eight carafe is costly but beautiful and guaranteed not to break (well, the carafe — the dripper is ceramic). Uses chemex filters, too.
@miljko I like the fact that it shows the price as four payments of $30. It takes the sting away a little.
@mandaris My first Aeropress lasted 12 years! The rubber started to disintegrate so I decided it was time to buy another a few weeks ago.
@brett it feel out of the drying rack. Apparently, stacking things up like jenga isn’t a good idea.
@mandaris ugh bummer. I'm in a relatively steady state of anxiety about breaking mine ... seems pretty fragile, despite the marketing.
@mandaris I hate when that happens. I think I’m on my third in 15 years.
@khurtwilliams thank you for following me!
I had this one for about 4-5 years. I don’t think we’re going to replace it because we need the countertop space.
