About this deal
The Chemex is housed in the MOMA permanent design collection —it also lives on most of our kitchen counters, too. Not only is it a beautifully designed bit of kit (and has actually featured in the Museum of Modern Art) it also produces a really great clean and characterful coffee. If you would like to receive your Ottomatic with a differently sized Chemex Coffeemaker, please contact us and we can swap out the standard CM-6A for a 6GH, 8A or 8GH.
In 1958, designers at the Illinois Institute of Technology selected the Chemex Coffeemaker as "one of the best-designed products of modern times.It was invented in 1941 and is even hosted in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
The "cleaner" cup retains the caffeine and flavor from the coffee while leaving bitter notes in the filter material. And not only is the Chemex surprisingly easy to use, but it's also easy on the eyes, making it the perfect coffee gift and addition to any kitchen. The thicker filters may also assist in removing more cafestol, a cholesterol-elevating compound found in coffee.

The Chemex is not a masterpiece designed by a world famous architect, but an unknown American chemist with a passion for good coffee and a lateral mind.Remove the wooden handle and continue to hand wash with warm soap and water, or place the coffeemaker securely in the dishwasher.
