The Original Icon of Form and Function

For the coffee purist who values timeless design, the Classic Chemex is an essential piece of history that still produces one of the best cups of coffee available. We recommend this original wood-collar version for its iconic aesthetic and its ability to brew an exceptionally clean, flavorful pot. It is a masterpiece of minimalist design, a fixture in museums and design-conscious kitchens for a reason: it is the beautiful, simple path to a perfect cup.

Engineered for an Unparalleled Clean Cup

The Chemex is engineered for an unparalleled clean cup, a direct result of two key elements. First, the entire brewer is crafted from a single piece of non-porous borosilicate glass, which imparts no flavor of its own. Second, its proprietary, bonded paper filters are thicker than any other, removing virtually all sediment and undesirable oils. This unique combination is what produces the famously bright, clean, and nuanced cup profile that has made the Chemex a favorite for generations.

A Tactile and Timeless Brewing Ritual

Brewing with the Classic Chemex is a satisfying, tactile ritual. The simple process of folding the filter, adding the coffee, and gently pouring the water is a mindful act. The warm polish of the wood collar and the rustic feel of the leather tie connect you to a rich history of craft and design. This 6-cup version is perfectly sized for sharing, turning the simple act of making coffee into a moment of shared, timeless elegance.
