Pure Elegance
The beauty and functionality of the CHEMEX has been admired by many over the last 80 plus years. The CHEMEX can be found in museums throughout the world such as the Brooklyn Museum, Corning Museum of Glass and MOMA, NY.
Pure Ease
The inventor of the CHEMEX, Dr. Peter Schlumbohm, set out to make a coffeemaker that anyone could use easily to make consistently good coffee. The result was a vessel that brews the perfect cup of coffee every time.
Pure Taste
The CHEMEX system brews the perfect cup of coffee using the patented CHEMEX filters along with the pure glass coffeemaker. It provides the proper flow rate for extraction and all important “bloom” while removing bad fats, bitterness, acidity, and sediments that other types of filters leave behind. Light, medium, and dark roast lovers will enjoy the true taste of their beans with the CHEMEX.

A family owned company with a legacy...
The story began in 1941, when the CHEMEX Coffeemaker was invented by Dr. Peter Schlumbohm PhD to brew the PERFECT cup of coffee. Since that time, the CHEMEX has spanned generations and the globe as an icon of American design. History and craft are embedded in our makeup. At the CHEMEX factory located in Massachusetts, we still inspect, polish and hand-tie each coffeemaker and cut every filter - just as we always have. Led by a brother and sister who grew up on the factory floor, CHEMEX Corporation is made up of a team of people who are passionate about bringing superior brewing equipment to the global community.
Pure Design. Pure Flavor...
It has been said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But imitation can truly be no substitute for the original CHEMEX coffeemaker brewing system. Few products can match the flawless blending of design and function of the CHEMEX. Its visual elegance has earned it a place in the permanent collections in many of the most prestigious museums worldwide. Its functionally has been awarded by the scientific and coffee communities. CHEMEX coffeemakers are made from the same high quality glass used for lab ware. It is beautifully clear and imparts no flavors or chemicals into your brewed coffee. Each coffeemaker is inspected, polished and hand tied by one of our team, before getting boxed up for shipping. CHEMEX Bonded filters are based on laboratory paper and designed to remove bad fats, bitterness, acidity and sediments that all other types of filters leave behind. Each filter is cut in house, on a machine that is operated by one of our team. Our filter paper is manufactured in the USA from North American materials only, adhering to responsible and sustainable practices.

Chemex makes the very best coffee of any pour over method. Okay, I haven't tried EVERY pour over method. Melitta, yes. Hario, yes. A few others at the barista's. Melitta's very good. Hario I hated. But Chemex is head and shoulders above both. The coffee it makes is very clean, crisp, and bright. No sediment. It's very different from French press. If you like French press coffee, you might dislike Chemex's coffee. If you like Turkish coffee, same. But if you like clean, pure, sediment-free coffee, you can't get a better brew. The filters are thick and easy to work with and they fit into the Chemex pot without anything in between. The handle on this pot is part of the pot so no fumbling with the wooden handle and rawhide tie on the classic model, which is also great but can be cumbersome.I don't bother with scales and gooseneck kettles and measuring spoons. I grind the beans fairly coarse because Chemex recommends a coarse grind, I boil the water, I make coffee. But if you're a coffee scientist, have fun.There are drawbacks that don't bother me. The filters are not as ubiquitous as, say, Melitta's. Lots of coffee places sell them, Whole Foods sells them, but they're more pricey than Melitta's. The design of the pot means you need a brush on a stick to clean it. It doesn't keep the coffee hot. If you want to keep the coffee hot for an hour or two, pour it into a thermos.None of these are issues for me.

I always hesitated to buy the original Chemex mainly because I have small hands and the size of the carafe made it hard to pour. I love this version with the glass handle. It feels solid and substantial in my hand, not delicate like an older off-brand carafe I had prior. Not to mention it's beautiful and makes great coffee! You will never go wrong with Chemex.

This is my third Chemex pour-over coffee pot. The Chemex pots are very beautiful and easy to use. No plastic; only non-toxic sturdy glass. Of course, it is glass, so you have to treat it as such. But if you don’t drop it or hit it on something, you are good to go, and it will last for years. Because of the curved design, you have to find a long handled brush to clean it. You can put the pot right on to a gas burner to keep your coffee hot, or an electric burner using a wire grid.The Chemex coffee filters are wonderful, very pure, and cut any bitterness from the coffee. I’m very satisfied with my Chemex.

Bought the wooden mid-jug handle version and I must say that that one was great but I wanted something with cleaner lines. Picked this all glass w/ handle version and find it superior in terms of look, cleaning and handling.

Ich habe die Kanne vor Weihnachten bestellt als eine Alternative für meine Stempelkanne. Wie viel besser der Kaffee auch nach dem ersten Versuch schmeckt... sehr aromatisch, geschmacksvoll... wirklich lecker für einen Filterkaffee. Die Form ist stabil, schick und gut verarbeitet und die Karaffe sieht auch viel schöner aus (und ist viel einfacher zu reinigen) als die Stempelkanne. Die Anleitung sind allerdings auf Englisch, und für das anfängliche Zubereiten muss man ein bisschen sorgfältig sein, aber was entsteht ist die Mühe wert. Ich hatte das Gefühl, ich habe immer Kaffee zuhause vermeidet weil das Geschmack die Arbeit nicht wert war. Ganz zu empfehlen für alle Filterliebhaber!-----Zu meiner obigen Bewertung möchte ich Folgendes hinzufügen: Ich erhielt dieses Produkt kostenlos im Austausch für eine ehrliche Bewertung. Nichtsdestotrotz empfehle ich nur Produkte, von denen ich wirklich selbst überzeugt bin und glaube, dass sie auch für weitere Käufer hilfreich sein können.

The think I like most about my Chemex is how simple it is. There are no moving parts, the brewer is also the server, and it is very very easy to clean. It also happens to make *amazing* coffee. I've been using it for about a month now and I'm still dialing in the perfect grind/water temp/pouring method, but even the very first cup was pretty freaking good.One thing that is not simple about this coffee maker is actually making the coffee. It's not hard or anything, and it comes with decent directions (and there are plenty of tutorials on the internet), but it is an involved process. Heating the water, grinding the beans, unfolding the filter just right and rinsing it, then carefully pouring the water over the grounds all takes time and attention. However, for me this is a plus. I like having the little morning ritual to get ready for the day. Speaking of beans, I've learned the hard way that the Chemex really shows the difference between beans roasted a few months ago and beans roasted a few days ago. Get the freshest beans you can!It also turns out that this item is great for making Japanese-style iced coffee. The basic idea is to replace some of the hot water that you would pour over the grounds with ice cubes below. Again, I'm still working on getting the ratios right, but the glass that the Chemex is made from seems to tolerate the extreme temperature differences of 200 degree water and ice cubes without any problems.If you are serious about coffee, or you want a simple device for brewing coffee, and you don't mind having to do a little song and dance to brew, I absolutely recommend a Chemex!

ほぼ毎日愛用しています。コーヒーを沢山飲むので、2人暮らしですが この容量がジャストです。フタはガラスの専用のものではなく、100均のシリコンのフタがちょうど頃合いで使い勝手がよいので、お勧めです。

I absolutely LOVE the chemex. I have tried many automated drip coffee makers in search of a good morning cup of american-style coffee, but none compare to the chemex system. It adds about 5 minutes to my normal morning routine as I must actively "make" my cup of coffee, but it is so worth it! I now find the process a pleasant, meditative part of waking up.I will say that although the chemex is cheap, you need to make a few other investments if you really want to get an optimal brew out of it. I have used gold mesh and steel mesh filters for a long time, so I initially balked at using non-reusable filters, but now I use chemex's unbleached filters...they seem to work best. A burr grinder and some top notch beans are also a must. I have also found that using a slender spout kettle does make a big difference as you have so much more control over the water flow. I bought a kalita kettle from a local tea shop, I see that other people like the hario. These aren't cheap - we are talking $50 for a kettle, but they're wood & stainless, so they should last forever.I heat 2 kettles actually - my kalita on an induction burner and a plug-in electric kettle. The electric kettle boils first, and I use that to rinse my filter twice. This is important to take any hint of paper taste out of the coffee. I pour that water into a bowl for later use. I add a tablespoon of coffee/cup I'm brewing, and from there follow the chemex insert instructions.It makes incredibly smooth and flavorful coffee. Best of all, leftover coffee doesn't get all stale and bitter. I usually make some extra and put it in the fridge for great iced coffee later. As I stated above, I can't imagine going back to a regular drip brewer.
