When Peter Schlumbohm, invented the Chemex Coffee Maker in 1941, he may not have realised that his creation would become an icon of design as well as coffee making. Its sleek hourglass shape has made it an instantly recognisable piece of equipment and earned it many accolades including being voted one of the 100 best designed products of modern times by the Illinois Institute of Technology. It is also on permanent display at the Museum of Modern Art in New York!
But the Chemex Coffee Maker's appeal is certainly not only in its looks. Peter Schlumbohm was a German chemist and his goal was to scientifically design a device that made a perfect cup of coffee. Many feel that he succeeded. Made of high quality heat-resistant glass, The Chemex Coffee Maker's shape contributes to an incredibly clean extraction which people around the world swear by.
The Chemex Corporation, that has manufactured the device in Pittsfield, Massachussetts since its birth, also produces proprietary, chemically bonded filters which are 20-30% heavier than regular paper filters. These help to filter out any undesirable components which lead to bitterness and sediment leaving a clear, pure & richly-flavoured cup of coffee.
Please don't forget to add chemex filters which are required for brewing, to your cart! You can find them here.
We offer the Chemex in three sizes: 3, 6 & 8 Cup, based on 150ml coffee cups (about half a mug). The cup size indicates the maximum amount and you can always brew less in your Chemex so we would suggest getting one of the larger sizes if you may need to brew for multiple people at the same time.
