Chemex

How to brew · instructions

A sand timer-shaped glass coffee maker that has been made since 1941. It comes with a server as a single unit, tied together with a string in a wooden color. The specially designed thick paper filters out oil and fines well, allowing for a clear taste. Made of borosilicate glass, it prevents odors from transferring.
