Chemex Bonded Unbleached Pre-folded Square Coffee Filters, 100 Count

• Durable paper design
• Fits all Chemex coffee makers except CM-1, CM-1C, CM-1GH
• The Chemex filter is folded into a cone shape, exactly as in laboratory technique
• Assures uniform extraction since the water filters through all the grounds on its way to the apex of the cone
• Chemex filters are 20-30% heavier than competitive brands and remove even the finest sediment particles, and well as oils, and fats

Enjoy a freshly made cup of coffee from your Chemex coffee maker with this set of 100 Chemex bonded unbleached pre-folded square filters. Made from durable paper, Chemex filters are 20-30% heavier than competitive brands. The formulation of the filter permits the proper infusion time by regulating the filtration rate so that it's not too slow and not too fast. Good infusion of the coffee grounds gives coffee a richer flavor, while at the same time making possible precise fractional extraction filtering out the undesirable components that make coffee bitter by allowing only the desirable flavor elements of the coffee bean to pass through. These filters provide uniform extraction since the water filters through all the grounds on its way to the apex of the cone. Guaranteed not to burst under the weight of the liquid during filtration, and not to break when lifting out the grounds, these filters are disposable and convenient. Designed to fit all Chemex coffee makers except CM-1, CM-1C, CM-1GH, this set of 100 Chemex bonded unbleached pre-folded square filters is the perfect addition to your Chemex coffee maker.

Now, I'm not one of them purist who say you gotta do this or you gotta do that, but I recently got back into using my Chemex and durin' my hippy-coffee-snob days, this was my choice. The rounded, white Chemex filters work fine, but these are the better choice. They also give you something to hold onto as you plop the dregs into the garbage or your compost bin.

I'm a home roaster, too. The Chemex with these filters will bring all the beauty and/or ugliness of your beans and the roast straight into your nose and mouth.

Do it right or go to your local coffee shop, 'cause you're an addict who can't make good coffee, so you should have someone else make it for you.

Yeah.

Excellent Product at a reasonable price (Cost at time of this review was $7.99 per box of 100 filters). The unbleached Chemex coffee filters provide a more pure coffee flavour without adding a chemical taste to the brew that using bleached filters brings. I only wish Chemex sold the unbleached filters in the 12" round unfolded style.

These are the best coffee filters you can buy, it's as simple as that! I've used the square Chemex bonded coffee filters for years, although at times I haven't been able to obtain them and so I had to use other brands. The Chemex filters do NOT impart any off-taste or "flavor" to the coffee and in fact they provide the best taste possible, in my opinion.

I noticed at one point that the filter box Chemex uses, shows a "green" symbol and says the product is 100% recycled, but when I checked with Chemex themselves, they made it clear that only the outside box is made of recycled paper (the filters themselves are made of virgin softwood and are pre-washed in hot water, and are also oxygen-cleansed).

I highly recommend that you avoid filters that are made of recycled paper (such paper can contain BPA and other toxins), and that you avoid chlorine-bleached filters. These Chemex filters are the best filters I've ever found, period!

Coffee brewing is now a ritual: Boil water, grind beans, slowly pour water over the grinds. Takes a few minutes but the coffee is excellent. Still working on water pouring technique (Slow Down!) but I am getting more consistent. Regulare coffee filters do not work for the Chemex pot, even doubled-up!

I've used the unbleached filters as well as white filters in my Chemex. I find the unbleached filters yield a smoother cup of coffee (especially after pre-rinsing). I also prefer the uncut filters as they provide a "handle" when removing the filter to discard in the trash.

These unbleached coffee filters are good because there is no dioxin in the filter to leach into your coffee and they are thick enough so that the rate of flow is just right.

Surprising to me, it turns out these filters are the secret of the Chemex coffee rather than the pour over technique. They're made of a thicker material and do a wonderful job of filtering out any sediment or bitterness. They're literally just a quarter folded piece of paper-like material, so it's not immediately obvious how or where to put the grounds, but the directions on the box have a diagram and description. Because of the thickness of the filter, it takes a while to make the coffee. After the initial wetting to the grounds, I usually fill to about 1/8 inch from the rim of the pot and then let it sit and drain, repeating until all the water has been poured through the grounds and dripped into the bottom of the pot.

The are used just like in the picture on the box, so they wouldn't fit a standard coffee maker. They also drain significantly slower than average percolator filters, which means they can't be used in a coffee machine since the machine would overflow before the water drained through the filter.

The Chemex pots these are designed for have a standard/fixed shape to the top portion where the filters go, so these filters will fit any Chemex pour over pot.

I bought my chemex after seeing it in a local coffee shop, and trying the delicious coffee it made. I thought it was such a cool yet simple coffee maker, and the final product was quite good. I bought the chemex and the special chemex filter, as the person at the coffee shop told me they were special filters specifically for the chemex maker (a bit more expensive than standard ones).

Anyways upong bringing my chemex coffee maker home, I was immediately hooked. I don't know what does it, but for some reason the coffee from my chemex changed the way I enjoyed my coffee, and makes an INCREDIBLE cup of coffee. Before I was using a single cup plastic melitta pour over and a french press...the chemex blew them both out of the water.

I think it's partially due to the full glass beaker design, which does not impart any impurities in the coffee that plastic potentially could. And I also think it's partially due to the filters, which is why I'm writing this review! The filters are extra think bonded filters, that seems to contain every single grain of sediment without sacrificing the delicious oils and aromas from the coffee beans. It allows for the perfect flow of coffee through the beans as well, slow enough so the coffee seeps long enough (like a french press, without the grinds in the cup).

I do recommend wetting the filter first before putting the grinds in. I think it washed out any filter flavor a bit (maybe placebo), and it also may help with the flow of the coffee. Also, not related to the quality of the filters at all, but I HIGHLY recommend you grind your whole coffee beans right before use...it makes a world of difference in the quality and freshness of your coffee. Ideally a burr grinder, but at least a spice grinder is better than nothing.

I use these in my Chemex 10-Cup glass coffee maker with handle. I really don't see how you could not use these as they are thick and made well to hold for the Chemex (go figure). I do not notice a paper taste given off by these but I do pre-pour some hot water through them per brewing instructions to help reduce paper taste and to help preheat the pot with your hot water. They are very strong. In fact I find I can pour a bit over the top of the maker top lip a bit and the paper will hold the water (not suggested as water is hot and dangerous). I liked going with the prefolded as well. It was a minimal cost increase but they store easy, are ready to go, and brewing in a Chemex can take a bit longer than say an automatic so every minute saved for me is worth a penny or two.

I have tried to use the filters that are seamed at the bottom and 9 times out of 10 the coffee grounds fall through. I have also tried reuseable cloth filters but feel they are not sanitary over time. These are the only filters I can always count on to be strong enough (even if I don't wet them first) to stand up to hot coffee grounds.
