The Chemex Coffee Maker is essentially a heat-resistant glass flask. It is vaguely reminiscent of a Chemistry beaker, except that the neck widens out to form a cone to hold the paper filter. The flask has a vertical groove on one side that forms the pour spout, and a small dimple directly below that helps provide a reference for measuring water. The flask comes with a wooden collar, affixed with a leather lace around the narrow portion of the flask's neck, that serves as a stay-cool handle during use.

The Chemex company produces paper filters, bleached or unbleached, in boxes of 100. Each filter is made from specially formulated paper, thicker than the conventional Auto-drip filter, that is actually a folded circle(or square). I attribute the Chemex's great taste to their filters, so don't bother trying to make your own. I prefer the bleached filters, since the unbleached filters seemed to impart a "papery" aftertaste to the coffee.
