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.

I've owned a very good espresso machine, french press, and drip coffee makers. This one, the 50 oz with the glass handle is my all-time favorite.The filter removes acrylamide. The taste is smoother than french press and the clean-up faster.The carafe is aesthetic and you can buy a matching small lid. I use this as I like two brew two days worth and store in the fridge.

This Chemex pour over carafe is so beautiful and elegant!!! I just love it. I was previously using a Mellita ceramic pour over, but was alarmed when I used my 365 UV light on it and it lit up blue in the glazing for lead! I dread thinking about how many times acidic coffee poured through that!! So I found this glass pour over which is just stunning, beautiful and elegant!! It’s perfect if I’m just making coffee for the 2 in my household or if I have some extra guests over - as it has ample capacity. The drip opening is intentionally large so that you’re forced to use their stronger paper filters (standard paper filters are likely to break). I have no intention of using their pricey filters. So I purchased an Ovalware paperless stainless steel pour over filter that’s compatible with Chemex and it works like a charm! I even removed the silicone rim on the stainless steel filter (because I don’t want to pour hot water over silicone - extra chemicals I don’t need) and it still fits just fine with no issues. To minimize messiness, I also use my cheaper unbleached/chlorine free “If You Care†paper filter inside the stainless steel filter so I can just toss the coffee without having to dig out the coffee grounds from the steel filter. I have a small kitchen without a lot of counter space, so this carafe stores very conveniently inside my kitchen cabinet alongside my dishes. One important issue - the glass overall is not very thick or hefty. It seems kind of delicate and should be handled with care. One good drop on a tiled floor and it’s finished! I kind of wish it had the glass heft of an Anchor Hocking glass mug for durability, but on the other hand the thinner glass gives it a very elegant look and feel.

After being sickened by an electric drip coffee maker, I started searching for a coffee maker that didn't have a water reservoir or internal tubing that could harbor bacteria and/or mold. (Google 'Signs Your Coffee Maker Making You Sick' to learn more). I tried a Bodum pour over, but it didn't have enough capacity and I found that it was difficult for me to hold onto the thick collar. So I thought I would try the 10 cup Chemex with a handle. What I like about the Chemex is that it's plenty big enough, it looks nice, it's easy to clean, with the handle it's really easy to hold onto and pour, and it makes good tasting coffee (hard to believe I suffered with an electric drip coffee maker so long!).Previously I'd read one or more reviews about the Chemex having thin glass that breaks easily, so I was hesitant to order one. But the glass in my Chemex doesn't look thin or cheap at all, and certainly not any thinner than any other glass coffee maker I've owned.My only complaint about the Chemex system so far is that with the last 2 boxes of Chemex square filters I bought (at a retail store), I was shorted one filter in each box. So instead of getting 100 filters, the boxes only had 99 filters in them. At this point I don't know if the problem is with someone at the retail store who has been pilfering one filter out of each box hoping no one would notice, or if the problem is with the factory. I notified the store manager today and I plan to call Chemex tomorrow so they can look into the problem. Hopefully they get this straightened out because the Chemex filters do make a smooth tasting cup of coffee!

When I first saw the box I was surprised at the small size of the 10 cup Chemex. We had a Chemex when I was young and I remembered it being bigger than this. I tried making 8 cups of coffee, but all the water didn't fit. I think they mean 10 cups of 5 oz. each, not our usual 10 cups of 8 oz. each. In that case, it makes a little more than 6 cups of coffee. When looking online for a larger size, I came across the 13 cup hand blown Chemex with the notation that this was what you would have had if you had a Chemex in the 70s, so I am thinking that what we had was the 13 cup.That caveat aside, the Chemex makes great coffee. While it is more hands-on than my old electric coffeemaker, given my goal of great cup of coffee without any plastic, I am without many options. I am not a huge fanatic about the whole brewing process because I like to have a cup of coffee with minimal effort in the morning, so I wet the filter with boiling water the night before and later in the evening measure the coffee and water also. (I bought the Precise electric kettle because it is literally the only one I could find with no plastic, and it has so far been great for heating the water quickly.) In the morning, I just turn on the electric kettle and follow the Chemex pouring instructions, which is about all I am capable of before my coffee anyway. I bought the handle model instead of the leather/wood option so that I can just put it in the dishwasher. I have been very happy with that also.

En fait c'est tout bête , il s'agit d'une carafe en verre borosilicate dont la forme a été très bien étudiée pour éviter de mettre du liquide accidentellement à côté .Il n'est absolument pas nécessaire d'utiliser les filtres de la même marque . J'utilise des filtres MELITA format 1X4 dont je replis les bords et que je fait tenir avec une pince à linge en bois naturel au dessus de l'anse et une autre en opposé juste à coté du bec verseur .Le goût est absolument parfait car il n' y a pas de contact avec du plastique ou du métal lorsque l'on verse l'eau bouillante et lorsque le jus tombe dans le fond .Donc cet objet pour moi est important car d'utilité sanitaire publique car aucun risque de s'intoxiquer avec du bisphénol A par ex. ou quelque métal oxydé que ce soit .J'utilise une petite assiette générique en verre transparent comme couvercle que je pose doucement dessus .J'ai pris le col bois/le lacet cuir qui permettent de donner plus d'allure et peut être lorsque c'est le cas l'ensemble protège de la chaleur ( sur ce dernier point je n'ai pas essayé car je ne bois pas de fluide brûlant ) , il n' y a aucun problème d'assemblage .Il passe au lave vaisselle sans souci aussi .En résumé c'est une réussite totale en ce qui me concerne , je suis très satisfait , je ne vois pas d'inconvénients et si il y en a ils ne peuvent être que sans importance , on verra après dans le temps pour ce qui touche à la durée de vie .
