Chemex is a beautifully designed pour-over glass flask that was invented in 1941 by Dr. Peter Schlumbohm. It uses a special Chemex paper filter that is 20-30% heavier than other filters. Similar to the coffee cone, hot water is poured over coffee grounds in a paper filter. The brewed coffee drips into the bottom of the flask which doubles as its own carafe.
While a chemex is portable, it is fragile and requires chemex paper filters. It is also quite hard to clean and requires a special brush.
However, if you like your coffee to be balanced, refined, floral and non-acidic, a chemex would give you just that.
Medium coarse ground coffee beans are suitable for chemex coffee brewing. Here at Domba, you can choose to have your coffee beans in any grind size. Let us know your preference!
