Chemex Coffee Maker

The Chemex Coffeemaker is famous for making a perfect coffee: clear, pure, flavorful and without bitterness or sediment, thanks to its special filters, made of a paper slightly thicker than those usually found and which help retain any tiny sediments the coffee may have, while allowing the water to filter at the precise speed to get the best result.

The coffee obtained is so delicious that it can even be stored in the refrigerator, to reheat later without losing its flavor. Thus, the Chemex coffeemaker provides coffee to enjoy immediately, but also to make iced coffee or to use in your recipes.

But Chemex is more than a coffeemaker: it is a piece of art, which is even exhibited at the MoMA in New York (in addition to having won numerous competitions and being shown in other exhibitions) for its perfect combination of functionality and design. It is elegant, made of a single piece in the shape of a high-quality hourglass and with non-porous, heat-resistant glass. It has a polished wooden collar and a leather tie. The collar serves as a heat-insulating handle, as well as giving it a unique and distinctive touch.

You can choose your coffeemaker according to the number of cups of coffee you want to make: for 3 cups, 6, 8 or 10 cups (each cup refers to a long coffee cup, of 145 ml).

You can find Chemex-Bonded coffee filters here.

3. It is a work of art. Beautiful, delicate, one piece, ideal for coffee and to admire wherever you have it.
