Since 1941, the Chemex has been brewing exceptionally clean coffee in kitchens around the world. Each coffeemaker is hand-tied and inspected by the Chemex team in Massachusetts before shipping—a small detail that speaks to the care behind this iconic brewer. The magic happens in the combination of design and filtration. Chemex's proprietary bonded filters are 20-30% heavier than standard paper filters, removing oils and fine sediments that can cloud clarity or add unwanted bitterness. What remains is a remarkably clean cup that showcases the distinct character of the coffee itself—the subtle fruit notes, the delicate florals, the bright acidity. The coffeemaker itself is made from lab-grade borosilicate glass, the same material used in laboratory equipment. It won't absorb odors, chemicals, or residual flavors, and it's durable enough to withstand repeated heating and cooling. The result is pure coffee flavor, brew after brew. The Chemex particularly excels with lighter roasts and single origin coffees. Try it with our Brunch blend to highlight its vibrant citrus and black tea notes, or with one of our rotating single origins when you want to explore the nuanced flavors from a specific farm or region. The clean extraction lets those delicate details shine through in ways that other methods might obscure. New to pour over brewing?
