Chemex

My favourite coffee brewing method ☕

What is a Chemex? It was back in 1941 when a German chemist, Peter J. Schlumbohm, invented this brewing device. He combined a laboratory glass funnel and an Erlenmeyer flask - still widely used in laboratories. In this combination, an air funnel was needed to make a space for the air escaping when water was poured in. This funnel is up in the front of the device. Also, to save hands from the heat, he added a wooden belt to the waist of Chemex.
