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.

    Good Cup of Coffee But Time Consuming
    The chemex makes a good cup of coffee, but it’s a time consuming exercise. If you’re in a rush or don’t have time in the morning, it’s not something you will use often.To make a really good cup of coffee with the chemex takes at least 10-15 minutes, and a lot of people don’t have that luxury in the morning rush.That said, you can make an excellent cup o Joe with the chemex and a good grinder. It’s just a matter of preference.

    The Chemex coffee maker and filters provide a superior coffee experience in my humble opinion. I especially like that it provides the opportunity for a CO2 burp— the CO2 off gases when the correct brewing method is used. (Instructions provided.) I would add that one should be careful with the coffee maker as it is glass and not too difficult to break. It is borosilicate glass and as such can be placed on a glass cooktop set on low to keep the coffee hot. I’m not sure about a gas stove, and I know an adapter is needed to put it on an electric burner
    Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2013
    After watching at least 10 videos describing how make coffee using the Chemex drip method, I made the purchase. I bought the six cup version. If you follow the instructions given on the multitude of videos available on You Tube for this product, you can't go wrong. I highly recommend you also purchase a scale to use with this coffee mare as it will allow you to quantify exactly how much coffee and water you add. I bought the Hario V60. It works as advertised. Using the scale. I have been able to make adjustments to my ingredients, that are quantifiable and repeatable.
    My coffee habit before I bought the Chemex was home brewing with a drip type automatic coffee maker ( Starbucks Barista) and my standard five shot "Pente Vente Americano" on Saturday and Sunday at the local Starbucks.
    At home I have been brewing Ruta Maya Coffee Dark Roast, which I believe is roasted locally here in Austin, Texas.
    Bottom line: after tweaking the 1) grind time, 2)grams of coffee, 3) grams of water and water temperature, I have come up with one of the best cups of coffee I have ever experienced. Comparing the Ruta Maya Dark Roast Automatic drip (which I used to think was good) with my Chemex version is like comparing std TV to HD TV. The difference is in the aftertaste. The Chemex has absolutely none of the bitter after taste experienced with the Automatic drip. The Chemex coffee is complex with favors that almost taste like chocolate. I can't wait to see what it does to some of the other coffees that I used to think we're good.
    The other major improvement for the Chemex over my old drip machine s cleanup. Glass does not have odors like plastic!
    Finally, I used to use a French Press which also makes great coffee. The Chemex eliminates the residue & grit typically experienced with a French Press.
    I forgot to mention that I used the oxidized Chemex square filters ( rehashed with hot water).
    In summary, this is a great value, as long as you do the research on procedures, and systematically determine the appropriate settings for your perfect cup of coffee.
    Cheers, Joe Mac
    Update: here is my recipe for perfect Chemex coffee

    Chemex Coffee

    Equipment

    Chemex 6 Cup Coffee Maker

    Chemex Bonded Filter Squares (Oxygen cleansed)

    Hario V60 Drip Scale / Timer

    Kitchen Aid Coffee Grinder

    Capresso H2O Pro Water Kettle

    Ingredients

    Purified Water 56 ounces

    Whole Coffee Beans 45 to 55 grams

    Procedure (Makes 30 ounces or 1 1/3 cup of coffee)

    Boil Approximately 56 ounces of water in Capresso Kettle (212 F).

    Place Chemex Filter in Chemex Coffee Maker

    Open filter so that three layers of paper are on one side and one layer of paper is on the other side.

    Orient the three layer side toward the spout of the Chemex Coffee Maker.

    Unplug the Capresso Kettle when the water reaches 212F

    Wait 30 seconds.

    Critical for dropping water temperature to 200F.

    Thoroughly wet the Chemex Filter with the hot water.

    This also warms the vessel.

    Pour out the hot water from the Chemex Coffee Maker.

    Carefully hold the three layer side of the filter out of the way.

    Reposition the wetted filter.

    Turn on the Hario Scale.

    Place the Chemex Coffee Maker on the Hario Scale.

    Tare the Hario Scale.

    Grind the whole bean coffee on a Medium Coarse setting.

    10 seconds in Kitchen Aid Grinder.

    Pour 50 grams of Medium Coarse Coffee into the wetted Chemex Filter.

    Gently shake the Chemex Coffee Maker to even out the Coffee Grounds.

    Make a small intention in the center of the grounds.

    Tare the Hario Scale.

    Carefully pour approximately 130 grams of hot water to wet the coffee grounds thoroughly.

    Start in the center indention, moving outward until grounds are completely wet.

    Allow the Coffee Grounds to "bloom" for 45 seconds.

    Critical time.

    Tare the Hario Scale.

    Start the main pour.

    The main pour will total 887 grams of hot water.

    Gently pour starting at the edge and move in a circular motion around the perimeter of the Chemex opening.

    Pour until the water is about half an inch from the top.

    Allow it to filter topping off occasionally until you reach 887 grams.

    Try to avoid "floaters" by sinking them carefully with the pour.

    Allow the water to filter through until the last few drops.

    Remove the filter and place in the compost.

    Pour the coffee.

    Enjoy !

    Place the optional Chemex glass top on the coffee maker to help maintain temperature.

    Notes

    This procedure makes about 30 ounces of Coffee or about a cup and a third.

    Grams of coffee can be adjusted to taste. I recommend using the range 45 to 55 grams.

    If the water filters very very slowly, the Grind is too fine. Adjust to a coarser grind.

    Time is critical to maintain water temperature within the optimal range. Have all supplies available. Work steadily without rushing and you'll have no problems.

    The scale is critical for consistency. Once you create the perfect cup of coffee, you have the recipe.

    This procedure was developed after observing several Chemex videos on YouTube, combined with my own experimentation.

    Coffee (in order of preference)

    List is limited as coffees taste different using the Chemex method compared to my old Automatic Drip Coffee Maker. My old database of Coffee preferences is obsolete. The Chemex difference is in the elimination of the bitter after taste.

    It takes a little more time to brew, however, it is definitely worth being patient
    Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2012
    When I read the reviews of this product, I was a little skeptical. I started drinking coffee, maybe ten years ago. After the usual drip machine, I went to a French press. Then I went to Aeropress (which is a good method but it is too expensive because it uses too much coffee). Finally, my old Cuisinart machine died, and I went looking for a replacement. I was looking for the ultimate machine that would get 5 stars; there isn't such a machine. The highest I found was the Chemex, which got 4 and a half stars(plus). I became intrigued, read ALL the reviews and went on to Utube to see how you are supposed to use this method. It's pretty simple; you heat up water to 200 or so degrees (I have a Cusinart electric pot I bought for tea which has a 200 degree setting), fold one of the special heavy duty chemex filters (and yes, use them, they really are better; that's half the reason this system works so well); others suggest you wet the filter; I agree, it seems to make things flow a little better) and put it in the top opening of the glass container. You put your coffee in (a tablespoon for each 5 oz is their recommendation), and put a slight indentation with your finger or something in the center of the coffee. You then pour just a little liquid in the center, then around the edges, gradually filling the cone with water (and raising the coffee off the cone). Gradually (don't just dump it in really quickly) pour all the water into the cone filter. It takes a minute or two for the water to drain down, but when it does, you have the best coffee you can possibly make. Of course, the quality of coffee is dependent on two other factors, one, a clean excellent water source, and two, FRESH (burr ground beans within a day or less for maximum taste) high quality coffee. This is not a machine per se, it is a method that has been tested for a bunch of years, and it really works. The downside is if you are in a hurry or you simply don't have time in the morning, this will not work for you as you have to have a few minutes and, most important, some patience. I have written over 350 reviews on products for Amazon, and this is, by far, my most enthusiastic euphoria with a product. It's like I found the magic bottle (glass), and it has fulfilled my wish (perfect coffee). You know, I've said so much (and so little when you analyze it), so here are a few final comments about the coffee produced. First, it is really smooth; it is absolutely NOT bitter at all, and it just looks clear and clean in a brown way. It's so good that my wife (I made her try it) who doesn't drink coffee even admitted it was very good (which coming from her is like a miracle). Clean up is very easy (other reviewers said this too); you just throw away the coffee in the paper filter and rinse the container out. I always rinse it right away, if you let it sit, you may have some problems cleaning it. The collar, two pieces of wood fitted around the neck of the glass, is held on by a rawhide cord; you can easily take this off (but why, if you just rinse out the unit each time, it is superfluous to mess with the collar). One more little trick I thought of (all by myself) is I heat the cup I am going to pour my coffee into with hot water prior to my putting the finished coffee into it. (And if I am putting in milk, I heat the milk to get it warm). This allows the coffee to be warm longer as when it comes out of the container as it isn't that hot (you can reheat it with a microwave, but I sometimes wonder if that does affect the taste). Oh, one more little thing, it says 6 cup, they are assuming a cup is 5 ounces, to me a cup is 8 ounces, so if you need a larger than say, 4 cups, go with a bigger size. Any comments are appreciated! Postscript: I also now use a double walled glass to put the prepared coffee in (16 ounce) as it keeps the coffee hot much longer (like up to 25 minutes, depending on how hot the coffee is to start). I also put dried egg shells in my filter before I put in the coffee; the egg shells help make the coffee even milder (if that is possible) and add a little calcium to the coffee, or so I have read. I take this all very seriously.

    Chemex is a classic brand for pour-over, and this carafe is elegant and high-capacity. I typically get just around 32 ounces of coffee (2-3 oversized mugs) with this, and the pour-over process is a calming and meditative start to my day.

    It is easy to clean, and mine stays out on the kitchen island because it's so nice looking.

    First of all, I Love this coffee maker! In my 67 years I have use All types of coffee-makers. My favorite, until I purchased the Chemex, was my Bodum French Press. The Chemex is less messy in the coffee grounds area because of the biodegradable filters, which I use as garden compost. I also enjoy the flavor of my coffee, a medium Columbian or delicious Espresso roast I grind myself. I tried everything from fine to coarse and the medium-coarse grind is my favorite grind. I purchased a bamboo lid instead of the glass because I'm a fumble fingers. I also ordered an inexpensive off-brand coffee caddy/stand with storage for my filters because it keeps everything in one spot. I Definitely recommend this product, especially if, like me, you enjoy the process as much as the end result.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Simple and Elegant Pour-over Coffee Brewer
    Reviewed in Canada on August 10, 2023
    I was looking for a coffee maker that was more compact and RV travel-friendly than my Nespresso Citiz. It was down to either Aeropress or Chemex but after a chat with my son (who has and uses both), Chemex seemed the better option. While I'm still experimenting, I will say that you do get a much smoother cup of coffee - there is just no bitter/acidic taste. In fact, I've rewarmed my coffee in the microwave (sorry gourmet coffee folks) and it still tastes great. I'm admittedly a bit nervous of keeping it warm on our flame stove but I'll likely try it at some point. I should also note that I am using the original Chemex natural filters for brewing. I love the wooden collar - little awkward to remove for washing but I quickly got the hang of taking it off/putting it back on. It does a great job of insulating your fingers to pour coffee while adding some real flair. I find the brewer washes up really easily but I always rinse it out immediately when it is empty. Some reviewers have mentioned the fragility of the Chemex but I find it very sturdy; it's been bumped a couple of times with no issues. Now let's talk design - did you know that the iconic Chemex has been exhibited in the MOMA? Even in my humble RV it looks beautiful on the counter with its simple elegance. I'm very happy with this purchase.

    Reason for purchase and experience
    Just buy it. Honestly, it is worth every penny. if you're into your coffee you would at some stage have heard of Chemex. It is probably the best way I enjoy my coffee, you don't need a fancy machine to enjoy coffee and probably the best coffee I make is via Chemex.

    Pros
    1) Makes a lot of coffee
    2) Most cost-effective method to make coffee
    3) Looks good in the kitchen
    4) Coffee tastes amazing

    Cons
    Nothing I can think of
