What makes Chemex coffee so extraordinary?

With the Chemex coffee maker, a particularly clear filter coffee is produced, because the paper used for the filter is thicker than conventional paper filters and filters out coffee oil and coffee grounds much more effectively. By filtering out bitter substances, the acidity develops clearly and the natural sweetness of the coffee comes to the fore. Lovers of clear coffee will adore the easy handling of the Chemex coffee maker and the coffee prepared with it. A special highlight of the Chemex carafe: it is a coffee maker and coffee pot in one. The preparation and serving of coffee can take place in a single vessel, the perfect fusion of function and design.

The carafe, crafted from a single piece of borosilicate glass, is extremely heat-resistant. The steam that forms dissipates through the pour spout in the upper part of the Chemex.

Chemex - clear design, clear taste.

Modern, Award-Winning Design

Invented in 1941 by the German chemist Peter Schlumbohm, the Chemex presents itself in the shape of an hourglass, reminiscent of an Erlenmeyer flask. The expert in filter technology and extraction replaced the flask-shaped neck with the characteristic funnel-shaped upper part of the glass carafe. To this day, the Chemex is produced in Chicopee, Massachusetts, USA, by the Chemex Corporation. The wooden collar typical of the Chemex is secured by an appealing leather tie, facilitates the pouring of hot water, and adds a visual accent to the coffee pot.

The timelessly elegant design of the Chemex carafe found its way into the Museum of Modern Art in New York as early as 1958 as one of the best-designed products of modern times and still resonates with these attributes today.

Thus, the Chemex can be found in numerous films and series from the 1950s, as well as in contemporary times, serving as an ornamental accessory on film sets.

Filter Coffee Machine, Teapot, and Water Carafe All in One

The Chemex was conceived and created as a filter coffee machine. Thanks to its taste and odor-neutral borosilicate glass, it can, of course, also be used at any time as a teapot or a water carafe, forming a visual centerpiece for storing your beverages. Chemex filters are excellently suited for preparing loose leaf tea.
