With this model of Chemex Coffee Maker, you can prepare up to 8 cups of coffee (1100ml capacity) at a time. The Chemex Coffee Maker was invented in 1941 by a chemist, Dr. Peter Schlumbohm, and based on his experiences in chemistry. The one-piece hourglass-shaped vessel is made of high-quality heat-resistant glass. A wooden collar with a strap entwines them as a handle. The glass from which Chemex is made does not absorb odors and thus does not affect the taste of the brewed coffee in any way. Production takes place in the United States.In addition to functionality, Chemex stands out for its amazing design.

Apart from Chemex, you only need paper filters and good coffee, and water. (6-7g of coffee per 100ml of water).
