I grew up with my parents using nothing but a chemex maker with an
automatic pump/dripper unit. It looked somewhat like this ascii
image:

It said chemex on the top, and you poured the water into the back of
the unit.

I haven't been able to find one ANYWHERE... so I'm guessing they
aren't still made today... Does anyone know where I could buy one? I
remember them being pretty crappily made, and my dad having to rebuild
the damn thing a few times... but of course it's immensely worth the
effort.

If anyone knows where I can locate one of these (with or without the
carafe), by all means, PLEASE tell me!!!
