Chemex Bonded Filter - Natural Square - 100 ct - Exclusive Packaging

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'm not new to making pour-over coffee, but I am new to using a "fancy" filter like these Chemex filters. They did a really good job. The coffee tastes better than with the cone-filter brand I was using before, and the water actually goes through the grounds more consistently too. With the previous cone filters, the water seemed to slow way down by the time I had poured half the water in. Not so with the Chemex filters - the water flows pretty consistently from start to finish.

I prefer the unbleached. If you have a Chemex this is what you want, don't mess around with imposters and makeshift solutions the filter is key. All the reusable mesh ones have failed me, despite wanting to like them. I've tried it all... Industrial Automatics like the Burr, fancy home models like the Ninja or Braun, French Press, Keurigs, Nespresso, cold brew, and on and on. At the end of the day the Chemex pour-over is my go-to, all-time heavyweight coffee making champion and it's dead simple, cheap and quick. To qualify: I'm not a uppity coffee connoisseur. I've never been a barista. I don't have really staunch opinions on grind levels, temperatures and astrological charting for my morning coffee. I just want it to be good and the way I want it. Some helpful hints / important points for those going down this road: 1. First, rinse the filter (esp. for the unbleached). A variety of reasons exist but just do it and we'll leave it at that. 2. The folded side (thickest) goes against the side with the spout / pouring channel. This has less to do with the quality of the coffee so much as it has to do with not making a mess. It's not a recommendation, it's the directions on the side of the box. 3. Get the other stuff A kettle like this: Pour Over Coffee Kettle with BUILT-IN THERMOMETER - Large 1.2L - Gooseneck Drip Coffee Kettle and Stainless Steel Stovetop Tea Pot with a temperature gauge and the gooseneck spout. Using a regular tea kettle is not smart here. Any kind of grinder will do. The hand grinders are just annoying novelty products unless you live in the forest and require an off-the-grid option. After a week or two of dealing with one I think you will regret it. This one is cheap and effective: KRUPS F203 Electric Spice and Coffee Grinder with Stainless Steel Blades, 3-Ounce, Black But there's varying levels of options and design sensibilities out there for coffee grinders if you really want to complicate things. Then of course whatever Chemex model you like. I went for the Chemex 10-Cup Classic Series Glass Coffee Maker , because why feel limited? Of course, coffee is required so grab your favorite. I've been pretty loyal to this brand for a while: Heavenly Hazelnut, 2lb, Whole Bean Coffee, Light Roast, Direct Trade, 100% USDA Organic Certified The overpriced and overrated boutique stuff isn't my style. 4. If you have plants or a garden you can easily just take your grounds along with the filter and compost it or simply mix it with garden soil. This is way better than the Nespresso / K-Cup situation that I feel is just gross and unnecessarily wasteful. If you want to pursue that option go for a little caddy so you can bring the filter outside to your bin without making a mess. This one is nicely priced and will do just fine: Tierra Garden GP118 Odor-Free Compost Caddy, Mini 5. Don't let snooty people tell you how to make or enjoy your coffee. Look around and experiment with some temperature / grind levels. Throw some cheapo non-dairy powdered creamer in there if you feel the urge. At the end of the day, it's about you and your need to feel alert. 6. Try to stick with the Chemex branded products if you can- they did it first, and they thought it through. All this copy cat stuff just amounts to money-grabs. There's nothing to improve upon! It's a glorified funnel! I've tried every coffee making apparatus under the sun into the far reaches of the "stupid expensive" category range and I always come back to this simple fella and my 10-Cup (I believe the 8-Cup Chemex is on the filter box, the 10 is just a tad larger) which I guess is around $50 now. For a comparatively small investment you can kill the coffee game for many years to come. My Chemex 10-Cup is about a decade old and it still looks new. Once you do it like this you can never go back to the automatics.

I just got these and have used them a time or two and they are working very well. I did have the cloth filters which also worked very well, and I will probably use those alternately. I just got tired of trying to empty the cloth ones and then so much coffee still went down the drain. So these work well, I just think they cost a lot for what they are, and I liked not throwing something away. So I like these and the cloth filters and will use both of them at different times.

this is the only filter I'll use with my Chemex. I ordered an off-brand to save a couple of bucks..big mistake. The paper tore even though it was advertised as thick. I had a mess. Also I believe the coffee had an off-taste.

Filters are fine but Amazon prime sucks. Have a free month trial and this is the second time in a row they failed to deliver when promised. My order says “attempted delivery at a time when the tracking shows the package at a hub miles away. There is no signature requirement and I live in a detached house. So no, Amazon, you didn’t attempt to deliver. Again.

Always great quality. And I like using the non bleached paper.

These Chemex natural coffee filters are the only ones I use now. They fit perfectly in my Chemex and never tear or collapse. I love that they’re unbleached, so I don’t have to worry about any extra chemicals in my coffee. They filter out the fine grounds and oils really well, leaving my coffee clear, smooth, and rich without any bitterness. I also notice they’re strong enough to hold even when I make a larger batch. Definitely worth it if you want to get the cleanest taste from your beans. Highly recommend to any Chemex user.

Son los buenos!

Would definitely recommend

In the title it says "Set of 500 of Chemex". The package contained only one pack of 100.

Questi filtri funzionano molto bene.
