Thanks, all for the great advice.
The Melitta 10-cup at $10 seems pretty attractive vs. the Chemex at $40, which is admittedly more stylish.
I don't have to boil the water, the office water cooler also dispenses hot water. At home, I use 170° degree water, which seems to make a better cup of coffee than boiling water does.
I home-roast with a machine I built myself out of a convection oven and a Stir-Crazy popcorn popper like this one: http://turbocrazy.atspace.com
I Roast coffees from Brazil, Java, Costs Rica, Colombia and Sumatra. I Buy my beans here: http://uroastem.com/coffee-beans.html
