Undoubtedly one of the most recognizable and elegant coffee makers available. The Chemex was designed in 1941 and has been making amazing coffee ever since.
Its non-porous, heat-resistant glass construction. It comes with a polished wood collar and leather tie: the collar serving as an insulated handle around the middle of the coffeemaker. The Chemex is so cool that it has a permanent display in the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and is how James Bond makes his coffee. What other endorsements do you need?
