Designed in 1941 by eccentric chemist Dr. Peter Schlumbohm, the CHEMEX® is a beloved American classic—so iconic, it’s even featured in MoMA’s permanent collection here in New York City. Both a brewer and a statement piece, it’s one of our favorite ways to showcase the clarity and complexity of great coffee. This 8-cup glass model includes the signature wooden collar and leather tie, both removable for easy cleaning. Check out our CHEMEX® brew guide for step-by-step instructions and expert tips.
The catalog often lists the same model at several merchants — worth a price check before you buy.
