The Chemex is an absolute eye-catcher. Functionality and design are combined in a practical and elegant coffee filter. The Chemex is unique in every respect. Filter coffee of unrivalled clarity and the outstanding design secure the Chemex its own category in our preparation methods, and not without reason.The carafe is made in one piece from heat-resistant borosilicate glass. Its handle in the form of a wooden sleeve makes it very easy to handle. With the Chemex, you can brew coffee in the same way as with other pour-over filters, but you can also serve it straight from the pot. The secret of the Chemex lies in its shape with a single large opening and the conical filters, which ensure that the coffee is extracted evenly.The Chemex® was developed in 1941 by the German-born chemist Dr Peter Schlumbohm in New York. He created a perfect interplay of pot, filter technology and manual infusion. For example, the channel in the upper part of the jug facilitates pouring and allows air exchange between the top and bottom.in the collection of the MoMA, New York, the Corning Museum of Glass and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.the Illinois Institute of Technology named the carafe one of the 100 best-designed products of modern times.
