Chemex
The Chemex coffeemaker was designed and patented in 1941 by chemist Peter Schlumbohm, an inventor with more than 300 patents, and its hourglass borosilicate flask with a wooden collar sits in museum design collections. The company is still family-owned and operated, run by a brother and sister who grew up on the factory floor in Massachusetts. Its thick bonded paper filters give the brewer its characteristically clean cup.
