Simple function and visual elegance combine for the optimum extraction of full rich-bodied coffee.
As the old song says, “everything old is new again” — and there are so many reasons I love these new/old Chemex Coffeemakers. Like all great designs and great ideas they are timeless for a reason…because they’re beautiful and they work.
It’s beautiful-
Invented by chemist, Peter Schlumbohm, in 1941, the Chemex Coffeemaker was chosen as one of the 100 best designed products of modern times. It is found in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, Smithsonian and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. With its beautifully shaped flask with a polished natural wood collar and leather tie, you’ll want to keep this coffeemaker in plain sight all the time!
It works -
Because it was invented by a chemist, Chemex employs all of the chemically correct methods for brewing coffee. It’s hourglass shaped flask is made entirely of glass (a “chemically inert” material that does not absorb odors or chemical residues) 
and because it has no moving parts — it will work forever. AND MOST IMPORTANT: It makes great coffee! Clear, pure, flavorful and without bitterness or sediment every single time…even strong coffee will not taste bitter. And, because of its purity, Chemex brewed coffee can be covered and stored in the refrigerator for iced coffee or for reheating…without losing its flavor!
Another thing I really like about this product is that it’s made locally….right here in the Berkshires in Pittsfield, MA. So you’ll not only be enjoying fantastic, flavorful coffee…you’ll be supporting our local economy!
Chemist, Peter Schlumbohm, who invented over 3,000 items in his lifetime.
For five decades the Chemex Coffeemaker (which was once available to only a circle of acquaintances) has been enjoyed by connoisseurs around the world — and now we have them at Hammertown Barn and Hammertown Rhinebeck!
