ChemexBonded Filter - Natural Square - 100 ct - Exclusive Packaging

I never knew how massive a role a filter makes in the flavor of coffee. That paired with a proper grinder makes for a very radically better cup of coffee than what I was used to. The filter is really what makes the Chemex, a Chemex. It feels sturdy, and very dense in a way. Like craft paper. It restricts water flow much better than metal filters, and I have not seen much, if any, sediment in the bottom of any of my coffee cups. The coffee comes out very smooth, and has a more refined flavor than my other ways of making coffee. The square shape of the filters threw me for a loop, but they aren't hard to use, and the box does technically show you how to open it up and place it in the pour over. Technically. Once you get your hands on it, you'll see what I mean, it's not hard, just not instantly apparent. Squares versus circles? No clue, your choice. Also, there was no paper-y flavor for me, or chemical flavor, after properly wetting the paper a good bit and pouring the water out. I will say, 20$ USD for 100 filters or .20 cents per each is not cheap at all, or even at 10$, but is well worth it. Regardless if you have a genuine chemex or some over pour over that uses pretty similar cone filters, these filters are worth your money.

Perfect for the Chemex. Produces a seal that is easy to pour & taste is unmatched. Highly recommend with a chemex or other pour overs but definitely worth it if you have a Chemex!

Nice to find a product that performs as advertised! No surprise. Chemex filters, introduced in 1941, are now probably state of the art. Filter is "natural" -- meaning it's color is light tan rather than white (the latter obtained by chemical bleaching). Filter comes as a square which easily re-shapes into a cone when inserted/pushed into the neck of the pour-over carafe. Simply be sure that when the cone is formed, three layers (or folds) of the filter lightly cover the dispensing channel of the carafe. The three layers provide a bit of filter stiffness so that air can escape unimpeded via the dispensing channel as it is displaced by brewed coffee. "Seat" the filter in place by quickly running warm water around its circumference from the bottom of the cone to about half-way up. Let the small amount of water now caught in the filter drain into the carafe, then discard it via the dispensing channel/ pouring lip. The whole process takes just a minute or two. The Chemex filter produces a bright, clean cup of coffee. No oils or coffee grains. Also no diterpenes -- enzymes in coffee oils such as cafestol and kahweol that inhibit the body's ability to shed LDL cholesterol!

We happened upon a Eight Cup Classic Series Coffeemaker at our local Goodwill for six dollars and had no idea what it was. Brought it home and searched the web to find out. After watching a few videos on the web I ordered the Chemex Bonded Filter Natural Squares and a replacement Wood Collar as the one we had was broken and a piece missing. Upon receiving them we immediately brewed our first pot with pre-grown coffee. It took a lot of work and time to get the coffee through this filter but the reward in flavor was amazing. Next day we ground our own beans slightly larger and the results were much more satisfying due to the time it took to make and the taste was still amazing.We will be using the Chemex Bonded Filter Natural Squares and purchasing them again!

they are filters...and they filter...yay!

My chemex arrived exactly as advertised, and it seems to perform exactly as online reviewers have said. However, I did not anticipate how differently coffee brewed in it would taste compared to how I have brewed it in the past (usually a french press). Some would say it tastes much cleaner, others would say it tastes stripped down. I would say that if french press coffee wears muddy leather boots, chemex coffee wears silk slippers. I know which one I'd want to build my house, and which one I'd rather have kick me in the face. A huge plus is the total absence of any kind of silt or sediment or grit, so the coffee is consistent down to the last drop, and you aren't gagged by a sandy quagmire of unremoved coffee grounds when you get down to the last mouthful. However, the oils are also stripped out, so the coffee's mouth feel is very different, and not necessarily in a good way. I will update this review after I have used it more regularly to reflect how I end up liking coffee brewed like this.All things considered, this coffee maker is beautiful, and it performs exactly as intended. Whether or not the coffee it produces is what you want depends on how you like your coffee, but I can say I've never had coffee like this, and it is certainly worth trying if you have the spare cash to spend.

Ok, first of all, if you don't have a Chemex, GET ONE!!! They are the most amazing coffee makers. I have tried so many different brands and styles of coffee makers, and the Chemex is by far the best experience (yes, experience) I've ever had with coffee. Please, go research it and give it a try.Now, as far as Chemex coffee filters go, these are the best! One of the main things that makes the Chemex coffee experience so amazing are these filters. I don't know what voodoo magic they put in these, but these filters do an amazing job of filtering out the bitterness of coffee while leaving the taste. Drinking coffee really is a new experience with these filters.Let me also stress how important it is to get this exact product. There are other Chemex coffee filters that don't seem to do as good of a job as these. This one is made from unbleached filter paper, and I've only had the best experience with this kind. The other ones are bleached filters (they look perfectly white, while these look slightly brown), and they don't seem to do as well. Not sure why, but every time I use these, I love my coffee (and vice versa, when I use the white ones, I question everything I know about Chemex...). Yes, they are more expensive than a Walmart variety, but it is worth it.Bottom line, get a Chemex, and get these filters. The two together are a perfect match, and you will not be disappointed.
