A Chemex brewer is only half of the system; the filter is the other, indispensable half. We recommend using only genuine Chemex bonded filters because they are the true secret to the brewer's legendary cup quality. Their unique composition is a non-negotiable component for achieving the unparalleled clarity and clean flavor profile that the Chemex is famous for. Using any other filter is simply not brewing a real Chemex coffee.
These filters are engineered to be scientifically different. Made from a special, heavy-weight paper, they are 20-30% thicker than other filters. This bonded construction is designed to remove even the finest sediment particles, as well as undesirable oils and fats, without slowing the brew to a stall. This precise filtration is what eliminates bitterness and astringency, allowing only the desirable, sweet, and nuanced flavor elements of the coffee to pass through.
Using a genuine Chemex filter is the foundation of a perfect cup and an act of respect for the brewer's brilliant design. The pre-folded circles are convenient and ready to use, ensuring a perfect fit and function every time. This 100-count pack will keep you stocked and ready to produce that famously clean, full-bodied, and flavorful coffee that is the hallmark of this iconic brewing method.
