Chemex
The name of this brewing device comes from the fact that the inventor was a doctor and from the looks of it you would think it was taken from a chemistry lab. The brewer is beautiful which is the reason many people love to feature it in their pictures across all of social media. The paper filter on this brewer is thicker than most and therefore it tends to produce a really clean cup of coffee.
