Product Info
Known as a pristine coffeemaker, Chemex employs all of the chemically correct methods for brewing. Its hourglass shaped flask is made entirely of glass, a chemically inert material that does not absorb odors or chemical residues. The Chemex has no moving parts and will work forever, unless it is dropped or in some other way demolished. Chemex filters are made of the highest quality filter paper. Please note: All of the coffeemakers are measured using 5 oz. as 1 cup. This Chemex coffeemaker has a sturdy glass handle.
The Chemex Coffeemaker was invented over 60 years ago by German chemist and artist, Dr. Peter Schlumbohm. The simplicity of the Chemex coffeemaker's elegant hourglass shape has been honored for its design by many prestigious museums, including the Smithsonian, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Its functional capabilities are also world-renowned. The Chemex uses a thick paper filter that removes many of the impurities that electric makers allow to pass through, making the coffee much more pure and flavorful. It also brews directly into the serving container for simple decanting and cleaning.

So simple. Put in a filter, add coffee, pour hot water over it, drippity drip, drink.There are several sizes available from these guys - this one works for me and I like having the handle rather than that weird wooden belt thing to grip it by. I discovered that their branded filter papers are better than trying to just use cheapie grocery store ones, but those will work too. The flimsier ones bend themselves into the groove and create a seal, which can lead to a burbly mess as displaced air in the bottom chamber tries to escape, bringing coffee with it. If you want to use the cheap filters, lay a straw inside the groove so there's a place for the air to escape. Whether the flavor is better with their branded filters is a holy war I'm not getting into.

I've had both the older, classic Chemex coffee maker -- the one with the two-part birch handle, secured with rawhide -- and this newer design, with the integrated glass handle. Although the classic design is in many ways more beautiful, the glass-handle model is far more practical. You can put the coffee maker in the dishwasher, and there is no wooden handle to split or warp, something that eventually happens with the classic model, no matter how careful you are. Of course they both make great coffee, as long as you rememeber to use real Chemex filters and, of course, to "blast the beans" with water just below the boiling point.One final point: this is a coffee maker designed for someone who wants real, flavorful, strong coffee and is willing to take five or ten minutes to achieve it. It's not for those times on sleepy Monday mornings, when all you want is a vehicle for infusing caffeine into your system. You might want to consider two coffee makers, an automatic drip system for your daily, morning brew and a Chemex coffee maker for when you have more time, in the evening or on the weekend.

Best cup of coffee ever! We use this daily and I don't find that the extra time needed to be a bother. I grind the beans while waiting for the tea kettle to boil and then slowly pour water over the coffee. The taste difference, compared to an automatic drip machine, is astonishing. Tip! Use a Chemex filter for at least two reasons: they definitely make the coffee taste better than grocery store filters and they work with the Chemex carafe opening much better.
