An Introduction

The Chemex is a gorgeous piece of equipment for your coffee bar or kitchen counter. It looks like a scientific instrument with a touch of class thanks to its wooden collar, and even has its very own place in New York’s MoMA.

Available in many sizes and styles, you can’t go wrong with a Chemex coffeemaker.
