It's a pour over coffee device, similar to a french press in that way, but you do use filters for the top. I've researched a Chemex compared to a French Press and the consensus is that the french press makes a better cup of coffee, with the chemex a close second.
Apparently, the chemex is a smoother cup because of the filter, but I actually like the sediment that comes with the french press.
The real reason I want a chemex isn't for the coffee. I actually want it because I have a ton of counter space that is begging for gorgeous things on it, and with a chemistry minor, I tend to have an affinity for all glassware that looks interesting and useful. I've even tracked down real chemistry beakers to get and display just for fun. Total nerd.
