Invented in 1941 by the eccentric chemist Dr. Peter Schlumbohm the Chemex is constructed of non-porous borosilicate glass in a clever Bauhaus ‘Form follows function’ inspired hourglass. The Chemex first solidified its legend as an icon of design with an inclusion to the permanent collection of New York’s Museum of Modern Art. In the years following it was favoured by fictional spy James Bond in Ian Flemings novels, as well as having a regular cameo on the set of Friends and has subsequently become arguably the most iconic filter brewer of all time. The Chemex with careful use yields a clean and delicious cup of filter coffee with accentuated body when compared with a more conventional pour-over cone set as the double bonded paper serves to lengthen contact time between the ground coffee and water.
