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.

Peaceful way to start my day
5 out of 5 stars
Peaceful way to start my day
I really enjoy the smooth coffee I get from my Chemex. I use the Chemex filters and start with good whole-bean coffee freshly ground with my timemore hand-grinder. What a peaceful way to start the day. And no appliances cluttering my counter. I enjoy the beauty of the Chemex with its warm wood color and leather tie around a stylish bead. No wonder shows like Mad Men, Friends, and Joanna Gaines' makeovers have included a prominently placed Chemex.I purchased the 8 cup size, so I have the flexibility to brew just a few cups or extra for sharing with others. It is easy to clean, and I don't mind removing the collar to wash it. It's beautiful and brews such a smooth cup of coffee without the hot water ever touching plastic.

  • Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2013
    Im an amateur coffee geek, there Ive said it, whew. What a relief. As a result of this, when Im at home I have many different ways to make coffee at my disposal. I had been looking at a Chemex for awhile, not sure how long, but I was intrigued by the simplicity of the device, and that it doesn't require its own power source, but with drip coffee makers, espresso machines, AeroPress, and French Press in my kitchen, I just didn't want to add another relatively large coffee device to my home. And then it happened. We were just about to come home from a recent vacation, where the coffee was free, but just ok, not even very good, the house sitter announced the disaster that she has encountered and was just about to be revealed. The French Press had fallen from the dish drying rack and broken. Oh the horror. Don't worry no house sitters were harmed in the making of this review.

    Enter the chance at a Chemex. I ordered one and it arrived a few days later thanks to the wonders of Amazon Prime and UPS. A few days after that I had the opportunity to open the box and explore the new coffee gear. The coffeemaker itself is very simple. Just glass with a collar make of wood and retained by a leather thong, simple and utilitarian. The glass is of reasonable quality not quite as think as a pint glass, maybe the same quality as a mason jar. It is an attractive device with its smooth simple lines. When full its not a light pour, so I recommend a good grip on the collar, and if you have it, a finger on the stem of the lid.

    Making coffee is simple, but not without work. The steps are simple in principle, add the filter, add the coffee, add the water and wait. However its not quite that straight forward. First, rinsing the filter is in your best interest. I recommend placing the filter into the vessel, and then rising it completely, wetting the entire paper, and then dumping the water maybe into a plant so its not just wasted. Doing this will help keep the paper pulp taste out of your coffee. You can skip this step, but you will know that you did this since there will be some chewed cardboard flavor in your cup, which I presume that you do not want. After the filter is in place, add the coffee. It can be any coffee really, Ive used drip grind and espresso grind just in my experimentation so far. These both work, but clearly the espresso grind will extend your brew time. From there you pour in the water. If you search for directions or watch videos on youtube you will see that there are many opinions on pouring water, who would have guess it, but yes, many people have many opinions on the right way to pour water. I pour the water in slowly, wetting the grinds fully and then letting them settle a bit before pouring more water. This is truly the most labor intensive part of this brewing method. Reason being that the top of the Chemex holds about 2 cups of water, so if you are making more than that you have a regular cadence of adding more water to the top as it brews and drains to the bottom. In this way this is not a fully unattended brewing method and it requires a bit more time dedicated to making the coffee. Its not long, and not hard, but just a different step for this device.

    Once your desired amount of water has filtered through the desired amount of grinds, remove the filter, and you can pour the coffee into your favorite mug and drink. The resulting brew is very clean and very smooth. The filters do an amazing job of keeping all the silt out of the drink. The coffee is smooth and creamy, with lots of body and very litter bitterness. The Chemex holds the coffee indefinitely and when you've poured off the last of the coffee the bottom is clean since only the liquid coffee made it through. Just a quick rinse and its ready for the next brew.

    Im glad that I have purchased this, and will continue to use this when I have a few (5-10 minutes) to invest in great coffee in the morning.

    Although it was designed in 1941, Chemex coffee pots remain the simplest, most easy to use coffee maker on the market. And the high-quality Chemex filters allow you to “espresso” grind without tears or grounds in the pot.

    I finely grind my French Roast beans and pour the ground coffee into the filter. Then I place my Chemex on a cast iron plate on my stove top at low (2) heat and pour the hot water over the grounds.

    You will need to discover your own coffee strength through trial and error. I like my coffee strong and I like the fine grind that creates all the flavor I’m looking for as the water quickly passes through the grounds.

    The improvement in coffee flavor is incredible. Strong, smooth and no bitterness.

    Chemex uses less energy than my old percolator (which took about 15 minutes of energy to brew) We have a hot water tap and now I just get a cup of hot water from the sink and pour it over.

    It’s easy to clean—see my picture above—once a week I put a couple tablespoons of vinegar in and fill it with hot water to let it soak. That helps remove any kind of coffee residue. About once a month I shake a little bit of Bon Ami into the bottom of the pot, add water, add a paper towel and use a wooden spoon to swirl off any build up. It’s an easy, two-minute operation and the results are like new, and sparkling! Easy to wipe the exterior to a sparkle too!

    It’s beautiful to look at. But respect the glass: It should be handled only by experienced hands. Every few years we knock it off the counter and it breaks then we hurriedly replace it because we are spoiled by the great flavor and ease of use.

    Coffee afficianados, stop looking for another pot: in Chemex you will discover your coffee Nirvana. But remember, Nirvana is not achieved in a day.

    I drink a lot of coffee everyday and really enjoy the process of making the coffee. Prior to getting the Chemex I used a Bodum french press every day. I loved my french presses, but I managed to shatter two glass ones, and most recently my plastic one developed a bunch of cracks, so I thought it was time to try something new. The Chemex is just as likely to fall victim to me being a klutz, but I still wanted to give it a try, especially because coffee snobs often say that it makes the best cup of coffee.

    The device it self is very nice looking and feels good in the hand. The box includes the Chemex and a very small instruction sheet. I would recommend going to youtube and watching some videos on how to brew with the Chemex because there are a multitude of ways that people like to do it. I've only used it twice so far, but I have to say that it makes really delicious coffee. I don't usually care for drip style coffee makers because I think that the flavor is not a bold as you get from a french press, but the Chemex delivers the same amount of flavor that my french presses did. The upside to the Chemex is that you don't have the sediment in the coffee like you get with a french press. I didn't think the sediment bothered me for the past 6 years that I have been using a french press, but now that I have used the Chemex I realize that I was missing out.

    The downside of the Chemex is that it is definitely more labor intensive than a french press, and certainly more so than a drip coffee maker. It requires attention during the brewing process, you have to continue to pour water on the grounds until you have brewed the desired amount of coffee. I don't mind doing this, but I could see it being a problem if you had to hurry out your door every morning. The clean up process is nice and easy, just trash the filter and rinse out the Chemex, which is quicker than having to wash out a french press.

    Overall, I am loving the Chemex after the first couple of uses. I would strongly recommend this to anyone who enjoys a really good cup of coffee and also enjoys being a part of the brewing process.

    Reviewed in Italy on October 2, 2023
    La caraffa permette di produrre caffè all’americana (o alla tedesca) con i particolari filtri di carta “a cono” prodotti dalla stessa Chemex [B000N4W2SG] o compatibili.

    Ci sono anche filtri metallici compatibili con questa caraffa [B09VPNK5LF] che permettono di risparmiare e produrre un caffè più corposo (ma anche più aggressivo nella bocca e sullo stomaco). In realtà, filtri in cellulosa ed in metallo non sono affatto equivalenti e producono bevande dal sapore molto diverso pur partendo dalla medesima miscela: più fruttate al gusto e trasparenti alla vista usando i filtri in cellulosa; più corpose e scure le bevande ottenute dai filtri in metallo.

    Si lava sciacquandola: io preferisco senza sapone, perché la patina di caffè che rimane depositato, col tempo migliora l’aroma. Ma con un po’ di detersivo per piatti la caraffa torna sempre perfetta.

    Alta la qualità e bello il design. Un po’ cara, ma dura 20’anni: vale la pena di prendere l’originale…

    La caraffa NON è compatibile con i filtri "Melitta". Spero di esservi stato utile.

    Reviewed in Germany on January 14, 2021
    Nach der V60 wollte ich Mal ein bisschen Abwechslung, also muss eine Chemex her!

    Optisch top! Dickes Glas , schöner Griff und leicht zu Schnüren. Alles sehr hochwertig und sieht mega gut aus. Richtig zubereitet schmeckt der Kaffee hervorragend, etwas milder wie mit der V60.
    Leider sind die Filter sehr groß was sehr viel Müll macht aber dass ist dem Design verschuldet. Zumindest lohnt es sich nicht damit nur einen Kaffee zu machen.

    Trotzdem Kaufempfehlung!

    Justo lo que necesitaba.
    Quizá compré el tamaño más grande de todos los que había disponibles, pero me encanta.
    Diseño bonito para disfrutar de un buen café filtrado. Excelente
