Invented in 1941, CHEMEX has been brewing perfect filtered coffee for generations. Its iconic hour glass shape is so beautiful, it can be found in some of the most prestigious museums worldwide. Its design, timeless and functional, has never been altered. The perfect blend of art and science, simple to use and extraordinary results. Accept no imitations.
The CHEMEX carafe is made from non-porous, tempered borosilicate glass - like that used for labware. Therefore it is totally pure, imparting no flavors of its own and is also resistant to thermal shock. The Chemex can be used for brewing both hot and iced beverages, including coffee and tea. Our CHEMEX paper filters are based on laboratory grade paper and designed specifically to filter out impurities, unhealthy and bitter elements from the coffee. It is a misconception that metal filters, percolation or plunging methods brew a “stronger” cup of coffee. In fact, what is being tasted are leftover flavors of the fats and sediments which mask the full flavor of the beans.
By using CHEMEX filters you are able to brew coffee as strong as you’d like, without acidity and bitterness. In your cup you will find only the caffeine and flavor from the desirable aromatic oils of the coffee beans. Our specialized paper works well with light , medium and dark roasts- even tea! Allowing you to make the perfect and most pure cup every time!
