Chemex Brewing (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

„American chemist Peter Schlumbohm (1896-1962) invented the Chemex brewer. It was released by the Chemex Corporation in 1942. This was during a time when 64% of all household coffee was made using a percolator.(Uncommon Grounds , Mark Pendergrast page 272) Mark Pendergrast in the book Uncommon Grounds writes about the popularity of the Chemex saying, It never challenged the percolator, except amoung highbrows and purists. Today the Chemex brewer and it's accessories are manufactered by International Housewares of Pittsfield, MA.“

Amazon.com: Books: The American Design Adventure (#)

„Nostalgia buffs can riffle through this heavily illustrated history of modern design to savor a Waring drink mixer, a Bendix washer-dryer with chrome propeller handle, a Studebaker Land Cruiser and a Chemex "hourglass" coffeemaker. On a more serious level, this sequel to The American Design Ethic examines whether the industrial designer is an artist creating new standards, a mirror of society's tastes or a wizard of change whose mission is to sustain public demand. Written by the chairman emeritus of Syracuse University's design department, this busy narrative is full of accounts of exhibits, design firms, training programs, trademarks, packaging.“

Drip Coffee Brewers: SwissGold, Chemex, Filtercone (#)

„They are 20-30% heavier than any other filter and are a special paper formulation to remove undesirable sediment but allow positive aromatic compounds to pass through. The fine paper grain holds back "mud," while permitting correct filtration speed: a Chemex brews at least 1-2 minutes slower than normal paper filters, more in line with the optimal time that hot water and grinds should contact eachother: 4 minutes. I think these brewers are the best compliment to the typical "whirling blade" type grinders. These grinders create many small powderized particles that make their way into the cup.“

CoffeeGeek - Chemex Drip Device - David Barnes's Review (#)

„The method my then girlfriend and I used to make coffee was different from Chemex's instructions. Chemex suggests a coarse to medium grind, but we used the espresso grind. I still use this grind today for all my filtered coffees.  We found that more of the bean is exposed if ground fine and will drip through the paper slower for more of that deep, rich coffee flavor and kick.“

„They weren't cheap, but let me tell you, I haven't had a better cup of paper filtered coffee. The Chemex is essentially an hourglass shaped piece of scienceware and very techie filtering paper. It is slow, a paint to clean, but is cool to watch and the coffee is first rate. I still use one of the two I bought at least once a week.“

www.coffeereview.com - the worlds leading coffee buying guide - Kraft Foods:Yuban 100% Colombian (#)

„Who should drink it: If traditions can come in a can, canned Colombias like this one are an American tradition. My parents brewed canned Colombia in their Danish modern Chemex in 1960. Compared to the listless, plodding nonentities of canned blends it competes against, this coffee is a virtual thoroughbred.“

CoffeeGeek - Chemex Drip Device - Neal Jacobs's Review (#)

Making coffee with a Chemex is like a science experiment. This is probably the first coffeemaker that you will own that will inspire you to keep a log of brewing variables. After initial experimentation, I am now brewing the best drip coffee that I have ever tasted.“

Chemex Manual Drip - yes, another manual brewer. The Chemex model looks like a chemistry experiment, because in a way it is - it is modeled after chem beakers. The special paper is what makes this coffee great.“
