Chemex
This classic and elegant brewing device was designed by the German chemist, Peter J. Schlumbohm in 1941.
Schlumbohm is the owner of more than 3000 patents due to his numerous inventions, but the Chemex and the water kettle are one the most famous. They are a part of permanent collections in the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Smithsonian, the Corning Museum and the Philadelphia Museum.
