Designed by a
German inventor
with a passion for
chemistry, the Chemex coffee
maker looks like something
you’d find in a scientist’s lab. The
glass, flask-like coffee maker is
paired with special heavy-duty
coffee filters that keep oils,
fats and sediment out of your
coffee, Chemex says, giving you
a brighter, cleaner cup.
While
the Chemex is probably not for
those that like a really strong
cup of joe, aficionados of the
device say it reveals entirely new
flavors in the coffee beans that
you can’t appreciate with more
heavy-handed coffee makers like
a French press or an espresso
machine.
