Meticulous work goes into creating each item.
Each Chemex carafe is inspected individually, polished and its leather cord hand-tied in its own facilities. The brand pays particular attention to its sourcing of raw materials and choice of suppliers, to ensure the entireproduction chain meets its socially-responsible objectives.
In addition, a Chemex is designed to last the distance.
The carafes are made of borosilicate glass 3.3, which is particularly resistant and guarantees clarity and shine. Their precise, uniform wall thickness reduces tension in the glass and limits risks of cracks. And if a crack should occur, Chemex also has the solution! Their website includes upcycling tips explaining creative ways of reusing products that are chipped or can no longer be used, for example as vases, lamps and even art sculptures.
The brand’s sustainability concerns do not stop with the method!
They manufacture their paper filters in the USA using local raw materials. They are biodegradable and compostable. The trees used to make the paper are responsibly managed and comply with the following sustainability programmes: Forest Stewardship Council, Sustainable Forestry Initiative, Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification.
Finally, all paper scraps are recycled.
