About the Brand The Chemex Coffeemakers, which have been in existence since 1941, are a timeless and classic design. The original idea was conceived by a chemist who sought to combine simplicity, durability, and elegance in a non-porous glass coffee brewer. This genius design has remained unchanged for over 70 years and, when used with the scientifically crafted filter, produces perfectly flavorful and sediment-free coffee every time. The non-porous glass ensures that the coffee only comes in contact with the filter, allowing for a strong brew without any bitterness. Specifications Capacity: 40 ounces.
