Cheaply made; lasts a year
As can be expected from a cheap, all-plastic aerator that will get constant use in the kitchen sink, this will fail after a while. Mine lasted about a year. Switching from spray to stream is awkward; you feel like you are going to break the attachment and, judging from how it's made, you very well might.

Cheap quality, inconsistent
This product varies in width and the points are not regularly spaced. It's poorly made.

Retro ritual
6 of 6 found this helpful The design of the Chemex coffee maker takes me back to the days when it was first introduced (who would put the word "chem" in a food-related item today?), but that's not why I bought one. In a survey of 600 New Yorkers, Chemex won second place as the best-tasting coffee (#1 was some $6000 contraption).
I like the ritual of making coffee in this pot. Put in a twice-folded filter (I cut a few 10" muslin circles so I don't have to worry about dealing with paper coffee filters.), add your coffee, "inoculate" it with a dribble of boiling water, let it sit a minute or two, and add the water. This process guarantees rich coffee with no bitterness. Clean-up is simple with a few hot-water rinses. The occasional scrubbing is a bit awkward with the narrow neck of the hourglass shape, but a bottle brush solves that. Spent grounds get tossed in the garden; cotton filter is rinsed and draped over the dish rack to dry.
I live alone, so the six-cup size is perfect for one hot mug of coffee and, the remainder stored in a glass jar overnight, an iced coffee the next day. Or for two people, of course. You can certainly make half as much and have fresh, hot coffee every day. It's a pleasant way to make coffee and, more importantly, the NY survey was right.
