Chemex
ABOUT CHEMEX
The Chemex Coffeemaker was invented in 1941 by Dr. Peter Schlumbohm PhD, whose focus was on making everyday objects more functional, attractive and enjoyable to use. When designing the Chemex, Schlumbohm desired to not only make brewing the perfect cup simple, but also to have the vessel be a thing of beauty. Inspired by the Bauhaus school of design and by non-porous labware that would impart no flavour of its own, he fashioned the hourglass shape and double bonded paper filters that would allow for the purest extraction of flavour.
