Product Information

After going through wartime hoops, the Chemex Corporation was up and running by 1942, and Corning Glass Ware was contracted to manufacture the first units. Besides designing the brewer, Schlumbohm was also its primary marketer; his strength of will and persuasion convinced giants like Macy’s to sell the brewer, almost from day one.

From the classic French press to more professional but easy to use, at-home espresso makers, below are some of our favorites. 1. The Pour Over These sizes (especially the handblown ones) were originally implemented by the inventor in the 1940's. We don't have specific information regarding the reason for those differences in sizes but generally speaking, the original inventor most likely wanted different sizes so customers would have options.In the next paragraph Fleming also mentions Tiptree `Little Scarlet' strawberry jam, Cooper's Vintage Oxford marmalade and Norwegian Heather Honey from Fortnum's. The CoffeeGeek method — which we’ve used since about 2002 with very little modification, and is based on discussions with actual Chemex representatives of that time — aims to deliver the best possible cup with very simple and easily repeatable brewing methods on the Chemex brewer. This explains why simple machines like Aeropress or Chemex are still on the market and quite popular. These are unsophisticated coffee makers that appeal to those who don’t believe in the one taste-fits-all of the single-cup coffee makers where you put a pod in and get one standard coffee. The handblown Chemex models are, what’s in a name, handblown in small batches. Being handblown means that they are all slightly different. And because hand made products are considered better in some ways than mass-produced products, they are pricier. In fact, a handblown Chemex coffee maker costs about twice as much as a classic Chemex. The Chemex Coffeemaker can be spotted in several movies (Harper, Rosemary's Baby) and television series, for example Friends and Mad Men (in Don Draper's kitchen). If you spot one, let us know!

Another issue I found is that a decent amount of coffee grounds can get caught inside the grind chamber and fall out during the brewing process. This most often occurred when using the reusable dripper and our own whole bean coffee as opposed to the xPods. The long answer deserves a bit more explanation because the Chemex comes in a lot of different versions. These not only differ in size. They are also different in the way they are made, what material the handle is made of, and the prices are different too.In the movie Live And Let Die (1974), when we get a rare peek in Bond's own apartment, we do see Bond making a coffee (for M) but then he is using a La Pavoni Europiccola machine, another classic coffeemaker that is also still available today. Chemex also offers accessories to pair with your coffee maker, including brushes, cleaners, colorful leather ties, and even a handblown glass water kettle.

4. At-Home Espresso Makers

The borosilicate glass used is flame resistant, so it can actually be kept on a low flame on a gas stove to keep the coffee warm or hot, and was advertised as such early on in the product’s life. If used on an electric stove, a steel trivet must be used between the Chemex and the electric stove coils. I have a late 1950s vintage 10 cup Chemex brewer and it’s glass is very unique: it has a hammered effect on the glass (shallow dimples) and is lighter than the current day Chemex 10 cup model, so over the years, they have changed the glass.
