I don’t have a Chemex, I use a Hario V60 but either one would work. A thermos is great for keeping coffee hot.

use a thermos or just get a huge ass insulated "coffee cup"

Isn't a Mr. Coffee essentially a pour-over that can keep it warm?

i fucking love brewed coffee. 12 cup pot or gtfo.
― ꙮ (map), Thursday, 5 October 2023 18:25 (six months ago) link
I remember at my pre-covid office, so many people would auto-pause to get an 'early'cup... that the pot would be empty before it was even finished brewing
― Andy the Grasshopper, Thursday, 5 October 2023 18:30 (six months ago) link
My main concern with the Mr. Coffee is the burner under the carafe that keeps the coffee warm. If you immediately take the brewed coffee and dump it in a thermos, it can be fine. Also in my experience for best results you should brew less than the maximum capacity of the machine, because there’s not enough room for the right amount of grounds.

breaking coffee news
McDonald's said it is opening a new chain called CosMc's that will focus on coffee and other drinks, a step that is viewed as a challenge to Starbucks and Dunkin' as the fast-food giant seeks to boost afternoon sales.
CosMc's concept is "what would happen if a McDonald's character from the 1980s that was part alien, part surfer, part robot" opened a restaurant in 2023.

Had the worst coffee ever at Dunkin's the other day - surprised because I remember their coffee being pretty solid (though I only make like two trips at best per year). They put in sugar and cream but didn't bother to stir it (and initially neither did I, I was in a hurry), so I thought that might've been it, but even if it was black, it shouldn't taste so medicine-y. Maybe it was too late in the day at 2pm and the coffee was going bad?

i use my lovely aeropress every day, so i end up with a lot of grounds: if i bin them immediately the bin bag leaks coffeejuice so i dump them in a little tupperware box to dry by the sink before binning them (which is a bit unsightly)
today as an experiment i recycled a whole boxful of grounds, to try and get a second cups-worth from them
result = hmmm, the coffee is weaker (but i can always use three spoons of grounds instead of two), and they're looser packed, so the press pushes the hot water through them much faster, with liquid spillage more likely
spillage of small amounts of used grounds all over my counters is apparently unavoidable, the actual most annoying consequence

x-posts - they opened a DD here but the sizes are UK sizes and it's pour over and not the same at all. They also made roast dinner stuffed donuts which just no please stop this.

mark you could leave the little puck of grounds in the aeropress for a couple of hours and then eject it with extreme prejudice once it's dried out some

leave the puck in to reuse immediately for a second cup, you mean? yes i could -- i will try that once i use up (or tire of) this box-full of used grounds
my second-cup conclusion re the experiment this morning is that reused grounds be very much tastin like reused grounds: it's coffee but it's not especially delicious
― mark s, Thursday, 14 December 2023 11:07 (four months ago) link
i mean after you’ve pressed your coffee you could leave the puck in there to dry instead of in another container

x-post Ha yes that's usually the way it works. There's a McDonald's I was reading about recently somewhere in the US now that serves weird items from other Macdonald's around the world. That's kind of neat.
I was just hopeful I'd be able to get a giant iced coffee but no. There is an Egg Slut around my office and I think that's an American breakfast sandwich place so will try that eventually.
