About Chemex
Chemex has made the same hourglass-shaped pour-over coffee maker since 1941, when the chemist and inventor Peter Schlumbohm designed it. The carafe is made from one piece of borosilicate glass, which Chemex says is the type used for laboratory glassware and doesn’t add chemicals or flavors to coffee.
The Classic models have a wooden collar tied with a leather cord. The Glass Handle models use a glass handle instead, so they have no wood or leather at all. Chemex’s bonded paper filters are made in the USA from virgin pine pulp, cleaned with oxygen instead of bleach, and compostable.
