The Old Faithful Shop blog recently wrote about their first shipment of the Chemex Coffeemaker, and I've been thinking about them ever since. There's a coffee shop nearby that makes coffee using these, swirling hot water around and around ever so skillfully and slowly over the coffee into the filter . The folks at Old Faithful tell us Chemex Coffeemaker inventor Peter J. Schlumbohm applied his vast knowledge of filtration and extraction from his work in laboratories crafting a vessel to pour the perfect cup of joe. Apparantly, the angles for the drip, thickness of the filter paper and the air vent chamber allow coffee to brew in a specified time and release gases that are usually trapped in by other brewing methods. This results in a smooth, bitter-free cup in less than four minutes.
