The Chemex® is so cool that it has a permanent display in the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and is how James Bond makes his coffee. What other endorsements do you need? Since the Chemex® is made out of glass, you can see the coffee as it brews and, as it's a pour-over method, you can also customize your particular brew method very easily. It comes with a polished wood collar and leather tie: the collar serving as an insulated handle around the middle of the coffeemaker. 40oz (1182ml) capacity Easy to clean - just remove the filter and rinse through Heat-resistant glass made in Germany Requires Chemex Filters - FC-100, FS-100, or FSU-100 Super pretty! Polished wood collar with a leather tie made in the USA
