Chemex 6-Cup Pour Over Coffee Maker

Chemex 6-Cup Pour Over Coffee Maker

The Chemex is one of those rare objects that transcends its function to become a design classic. Invented by chemist Peter Schlumbohm in 1941 and selected by the Illinois Institute of Technology as one of the best-designed products of the modern era, the Chemex is both a functional masterpiece and a beautiful piece of kitchen art.

But beyond its iconic hourglass silhouette and wooden collar, the Chemex produces a genuinely exceptional cup of coffee — clean, bright, and refined in ways that standard drip brewers cannot replicate.

Key Features

• Proprietary Bonded Filters: 20–30% thicker than standard paper filters — removes coffee oils, sediment, and bitterness while retaining all desirable flavour compounds
• Borosilicate Glass Carafe: Heat-resistant, non-porous glass that won’t absorb flavours or odours — your Chemex will taste as good after 10 years as day one
• 6-Cup Capacity: Brews up to 900ml — perfect for sharing with 2–4 people
• One-Piece Construction: No removable parts, no valves, no plastic — the entire brewer is the carafe
• Wooden Collar & Leather Tie: Protects hands from heat and adds the signature aesthetic touch
• Stovetop & Microwave Compatible: Keep your brew warm without transferring to a separate container

The Chemex Flavour Profile

The Chemex’s thick bonded filters produce a distinctively clean cup — lighter-bodied than French press or AeroPress, with exceptional clarity and brightness. This style of extraction particularly flatters delicate light roasts: floral Ethiopians, juicy Kenyans, and crisp Colombian washed coffees positively shine through the Chemex.

A Centrepiece for Your Kitchen

Few coffee brewers deserve a permanent spot on your kitchen bench the way the Chemex does. It’s a conversation starter, a design statement, and a daily reminder that functional objects can also be beautiful.
