The Chemex coffee maker is the ultimate pour over brewer. This iconic and timelessly designed coffee maker that looks like a chemistry set was invented in 1941. It uses the infusion method to brew high-quality coffee<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Chemex coffee maker is easy to use and very aesthetically appealing. It provides a near-perfect balance between performance and visual elegance. It is a double-whammy brewer that is both a beautiful kitchen tool and a full rich-bodied coffee maker.<\/p>\n

The Chemex coffee maker history<\/h2>\n

The Chemex coffee maker is an hourglass-shaped glass flask with a wooden neck handle and a leather tie. It was invented by Peter Schlumbohm<\/a>, an American chemist in 1941. During this period, the majority of households made their coffee using a percolator.<\/p>\n

The Chemex coffee maker has a simple yet timeless design that is stunning. In fact, the design is so noteworthy that in 1958, the designers at the Illinois Institute of Technology featured it in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.<\/p>\n

Another interesting feature about this coffee maker is its filters that are approximately 20 to 30% thicker than those of a regular coffee filter. These filters help to filter out oils, ground, and bitterness providing you with super clean and clear coffee.<\/p>\n

Grinding and dosage<\/h2>\n

Before brewing your coffee, grind your coffee beans<\/a> using a good burr grinder. The level of grinding you choose will determine how mild or strong your coffee will be. For a strong taste, grind the beans to fineness and for weaker coffee coarsen up the grind.<\/p>\n

For dosage, use one rounded tablespoon of coffee for over 5oz. Cup. Put the ground coffee into the filter cone. For consistency in your dosage, use a digital scale. Coffee experts advice that you use 50 grams of coffee for every 700 grams of water.<\/p>\n
