Invented in 1941 by German scientist Peter J. Schlumbohm, the Chemex was designed with heat-brewing properties in mind. Selected by The NY Times as one of the best modern designs, it has become a permanent part of the collections at prestigious institutions such as MOMA, The Smithsonian, The Corning Museum of Glass, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Beyond its laboratory-quality heat-resistant glass, the Chemex is a true work of art that has stood the test of time. With its 3-cup model, get ready to enjoy a perfect coffee for two at home.
