Chemex

Person pouring hot water from a stainless steel kettle into an on-going pour-over coffee filter on a digital scale in a cafe setting.

Founded in Massachusetts in 1941 by chemist Peter Schlumbohm, Chemex is an enduring icon of coffee design. With its hourglass silhouette and wooden collar, the Chemex brewer is as much a work of art as it is a brewing tool—displayed in museums and cherished in kitchens worldwide. Its unique filter and glass construction create coffee of unmatched clarity and elegance.

At BrewNest, we choose Chemex for its perfect union of science, beauty, and the timeless ritual of slow brewing.
