Known as a pristine coffeemaker, Chemex employs all of the chemically correct methods for brewing. Its hourglass shaped flask is made entirely of glass, a chemically inert material that does not absorb odors or chemical residues. The Chemex has no moving parts and will work forever, unless it is dropped or in some other way demolished.
The Handblown Chemex Series of coffee brewers is the original Chemex series that Chemex started with in the 1940s. All of the Chemex Handblown series brewers are
Good Cup of Coffee – Glass Coffeemaker,
I have been searching for a coffeemaker that does not contain plastic parts. This hand-blown Chemex has a decent weight to it but very expensive. I called the company to confirm that it was in fact made in Germany. It is not. It is made in Croatia by a German company. Go to the Chemex coffeemaker website to contact the company for additional info.
I then found out that there were Chemex’s made in the 50′s and 60′s that were made out of Pyrex Brand Glass and Made in the USA. I found them on Ebay. I purchased one of these and will keep it for years and years to come. It is made from very heavy durable pyrex glass. At $17 I cannot be happier. No scratches, cracks, or stains. Replacement wood collars and rawhide for the Chemex can be purchased brand new from many suppliers for about $10.
In summary, I highly recommend the Chemex coffee maker and filters – together they make great coffee. Just do your research to find which Chemex is right for you.
