Chemex Coffee Maker was invented in 1941 by Dr. Peter Schlumbohm. The design was based on the experience gained by this talented chemist. This one-piece vessel with its hourglass shape is made of high-quality heat-resistant glass. The role of a holder is served by a wood collar with a leather tie. The glass that Chemex is made of does not absorb odours, and thus it has no effect on the flavour of brewed coffee. Made in the United States.Apart from functionality, Chemex distinguished by its amazing design. You may admire its visual elegance on permanent exhibition in New York's Museum of Modern Art. Additionally, it was selected by Illinois Institute of Technology as one of the 100 best-designed products of modern times. With Chemex Coffee Maker, brewing of your favourite coffee is really simple and takes 4 - 6 minutes.Besides Chemex, you just need paper filters and good coffee which must be poured over with water (6-7g of coffee per 100ml of water).
