Lots of coffee left high and dry, same with a Moccamaster. A stir about 30 seconds after the pre infusion would help a lot.

Loving the extra product shots at different angles, very nice. Awesome video again Gail & team.

It's just a beautiful machine Gail.. and I love how SCG now presented the coffee brewing moment with cinematic super close video! 😍

Good product overview but I wish you didn’t use a coffee that you don’t seem to drink regularly. I’d like to know if/how this makes XYZ coffee taste better vs let’s say XYZ coffee in a French Press or a standard coffee machine, etc.

I love my chemex manual pourover but if I'm spending $350 I'm buying a Moccamaster and $50 worth of coffee.

I like this machine enough, but my reservoir cracked within days of getting it. I emailed them about it and was told THAT part of the machine wasn't covered by warranty. Naturally. I still use it since the crack wasn't leaking, and it was expensive. Also, monsters like me will sometimes buy ground coffee, and if the grind is too fine, it will overflow. Overall, it's an ok machine but it can have its quirks. Have a good day, y'all!

sooo.. its drip coffee now? glad to see we came full circle.

Nice review! Is the water tank and brewer parts that come in contact with the boiling water made of plastic or glass and stainless steel?

[MrOliver]

I love how cheerful Gail always is, and fully agree with other comments here that your editing has gone up a notch! Great video! :)

Love the brewer as well, although it just seems a bit strange to me that chemex sells a brewer that doesn't include a carafe that's big enough. I wondered about that in their first version too. Not a big problem, but I think more people would buy it then.. just a thought

Essa é melhor máquina de café que eu já vi!!! Mas ainda acho que um barista consegue fazer um café melhor utilizando a chaleira bico de ganso pois consegue "molhar o pó de café" de maneira mais precisa. A Ottomatic molha (de maneira muito bacana, reconheço!) somente no meio e isto pode levar a uma superextração na parte central. enfim, para quem não é barista.... Ainda bem que eu aprendi tudo o que eu precisava saber nos cursos de barista da Best Coffee Xperience

Does the Ottomatic use a pump to move water to the spray head or is it like the Technivorm where heated water under pressure moves the water to the spray head?

[chadashton]

Maybe the screen needs decalcified now and then for folks with hard water.

[danielpincus]

By the time the water hits the coffee, what's its temperature?

[PichulRixth]

What was the ratio of coffee to water?

[andrewkim]

just got it. It looks like it does not spray all of holes. did I get defective one?

[advantager]

Thanks for the nice video. Seems like a nice unit. However I'm kinda the bull in the China shop. Too much glass for me. I'm considering a Breville with a stainless steel carafe.

[Kernow]

Gail, love your videos, so so watchable. Great review, thanks. Not sure of the £300 price tag for it as our pour over variable temp kettle cost £50, but what they hey, shiny shiny :) We found pouring a chemex needs 2 hands (one under to support) if you have a lot of coffee in it.

Nice review, Gail. Thinking about getting my mother-in-law one (so she can lose the Keurig!)

[caztrojr]

Love this channel!! Where has Gail been my whole life!! 👌🏻👌🏻

[JonP-Buffalo]

Awesome editing on this, haven't seen this before on SCG videos. Cool product too.
