Tout savoir
The Chemex slow coffee brewer is the iconic tool for exceptional coffee lovers. Inspired by the famous 1941 American design by Peter Schlumbohm—this blown glass coffee maker has even been integrated into the collections of the MoMA in New York and the Illinois Institute of Technology as an iconic 20th-century design object. Our version faithfully reproduces the aesthetic codes: pure hand-blown glass, polished wooden collar, retaining strap in leather or ABS depending on the variant. The pour-over method it enables is praised by baristas worldwide for revealing the subtle aromas of specialty coffees, where espresso sometimes mutes the nuances. Capacity 400 ml for 3 to 4 cups, perfect for individual or duo service. Available in two collar finishes (Black or Wood) with an optional reusable aluminum filter included depending on the chosen pack. Slow Coffee Blown Glass

Slow coffee: the method of demanding baristas
The pour-over method (slow pouring over) is the preferred extraction technique by specialty coffee professionals worldwide. Unlike espresso, which forces water under pressure through the grounds, pour-over allows water to flow by gravity through the filter, taking the necessary time to gradually reveal the complex aromas of the coffee.
This gentle extraction allows for perceiving subtle notes—fruity, floral, chocolatey, spicy—that single-origin coffees (Ethiopia, Kenya, Colombia, Guatemala) develop during their roasting. For specialty coffee enthusiasts, pour-over is not an aesthetic whim: it is the optimal method to taste what a coffee can truly offer, where espresso or classic drip coffee makers tend to standardize flavors.
Advantages of the slow coffee maker
The pour-over method in 7 steps
Barista tip: grind size is the most critical factor for successful slow coffee. Aim for a medium to medium-coarse grind, similar to crystal sugar. Investing in a burr grinder (not blade) makes all the difference—grind consistency is essential for homogeneous extraction. For water temperature, 90-92°C is ideal: too hot, you extract bitterness; too cold, the coffee is under-extracted and acidic. A gooseneck kettle greatly facilitates pouring control. To explore the method, start with a single-origin coffee that has been recently roasted (ideally within 4 weeks of roasting).
Care: hand wash in lukewarm soapy water with a soft sponge. Avoid the dishwasher, which could weaken the hand-blown glass and damage the wooden collar. For stubborn coffee stains, use a light baking soda paste and gently rub. The wooden collar should be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth—do not soak it. Dry the carafe immediately to prevent limescale marks.
Usage precautions: hand-blown glass is fragile; handle with care and avoid thermal shock (never pour boiling water into a cold carafe). Do not expose to excessive temperatures (oven, microwave forbidden, induction forbidden—the carafe is not designed to be heated directly on a heat source). Keep away from counter edges and high-traffic areas. Store the carafe empty and clean between uses.
