"a synthesis of logic and madness"

This glass, pour-over brewing mechanism is chic, elegant, and smart. It was invented in 1941 by Peter Schlumbohm, a German chemist/inventor, and has remained unchanged in its design for 70 years. The Chemex is in an hourglass shaped vessel and is made with heat resistant glass. Each model comes with an insulated wooden collar and leather tie to serve as a barrier between you and freshly brewed, 'hot as can be' coffee. The Chemex uses a filtration method for brewing and delivers greater clarity than other paper filter systems, key being its heavier paper. Its perfectly designed filters help control the temperature in which the coffee is brewed. It also helps with under extraction, or too quick of a brew, and the finished product is clear and flavorful without a bitter taste or sediment in your cup. Chemex is said to be "one of 100 best modern devices" by New York Times and  is currently on display at New York's Museum of Modern Art and the Smithsonian Museum. From the laboratory to your kitchen, this Erlenmeyer flask designed coffee maker is unique and snazzy and has achieved an iconic role in popular culture. Come by and check out the Chemex, try a cup of coffee from a Chemex, learn about the Chemex and maybe it might be your choice in brewing mechanism. :)
