apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Have you ever seen those classic Chemex coffemakers? Definitely a little lab style for your kitchen in the morning.

As a chem prof, I love the aesthetics of glassware, too. But I also feel duty-bound to point out that, if you ever plan to put food or drinks into lab glassware, make sure that you get it new and unused. You never know what's been in used glassware, and you can never be 100% certain that all the nasties have been cleaned out. Better safe than sorry.

I agree with Angie above; make sure you get new, unused glassware.

That said, I have a couple short Pyrex beakers at home that hold votive candles very nicely!

Where can you get new lab glassware here in Chicago? I've been wanting several large Florence Flasks for single stems for a long time.

Suzanne, have you tried American Science and Surplus? They have lab glassware listed quite cheaply on their website, I'm sure they have it in store as well. http://www.sciplus.com/

American Science and Surplus is definitely the place to go. It has all sorts of goodies there.

I have some rosemary cuts in a little 100ml beaker in my window. I also had a bong made out of a beaker! Totally useful!
