Let me begin by saying the difference here, for me, between four and five stars is purely emotional. I have no practical reason against giving it five stars -- it is exactly what it claims to be. But some sliver of me is not as overjoyed as I could be. Could this lid be a little thicker and sturdier perhaps? Maybe. Maybe it's that this lid is just so simple, so common sense, so... *obvious* it seems like a no-brainer and ought to have been devised alongside the pot it was created to fit.This lid is made of silicon (or is it silicone?) -- a sturdy yet very flexible rubber. It fits the chemex pot snugly, though it does not fit into the pouring groove. If you are thinking that it will seal the pot completely -- it does not. But it does make for easier pouring, though (maybe I'm the only one who can't manage a steady pouring stream in the morning). It may also prolong keeping the coffee warm longer -- though I can't imagine it would be for that much longer.

The Chemex makes great coffee but does not keep it hot for more than 10-15 minutes—as other reviewers have noted, this is a matter of thermodynamics and a combination of a large open top and being non-insulated glass. What this product does is stop up the large open top in a neat, aesthetically pleasing manner and prevents heat loss through that avenue. In my experience, this roughly doubles the amount of time the coffee stays warm. It does not fix the heat loss through the glass and isn't a substitute for a truly insulated carafe for longer use, but it does what it claims to do well, and is an inexpensive addition to improve your Chemex experience.This stopper has three tremendous advantages: 1) it fits into the narrowest section of the neck, thus making it more efficient at insulating than a lid placed at the top would; 2) it allows pouring coffee without removing it; 3) it aesthetically looks good especially if your Chemex has the wooden grip panels around the neck. For the cost of this simple gadget, it is a great product and I'd recommend it.

Fits perfectly in my ChemEx! And remains snug enough to be able to pour and stay put.I got this so I can just toss a full ChemEx in the fridge to make iced coffee as the week goes on. Works great.

This knock-off Chemex cap works, but is an imperfect copy of the original. The flare sets onto the top of the Chemex well enough to keep the heat in the Chemex decanter. The plug that extends down into the decanter is smaller than the original. The diameter is important as you get near the end of coffee volume. The bigger plug helps hold the heat lid onto the decanter as you decant coffee out.There is no vent hole like the original which allows air to enter the decanter as coffee exits. I needed to drill an 1/8" hole into the Able Heat Lid in order to achieve air exchange. The Able Heat Lid is functional but falls short of the original Chemex version.
