A Chemex brewer without a Chemex filter cannot produce a Chemex coffee. We recommend using only genuine Chemex bonded filters because they are the non-negotiable secret to the brewer's legendary cup quality. Their unique, heavy-weight composition is the essential component for achieving the unparalleled clarity and clean flavor profile that the Chemex is famous for. To use another filter is to miss the entire point of this iconic brewer.
These filters are scientifically different by design. 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, honoring the quality of the bean.
Using a genuine Chemex filter is the foundation of a perfect cup. The traditional square shape is easy to fold and provides a multi-layered path for the coffee to filter through. 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 timeless brewing method. It is the most critical supply for your brewing ritual.
