The Chemex coffeemaker---invented in 1941---is well-respected amongst coffee enthusiasts. Its iconic design (it's in the permanent collections of museums such as the Museum of Modern Art and the Smithsonian) is widely appreciated. However, where it really earns praise with its users is in the fact that it brews---by way of Chemex's 4-ply filters---one of the "cleanest" cups you'll ever have, allowing the pure flavor of the particular coffee to shine. This is the 6 cup model.
