Chemex coffee filters are about 20-30% heavier and slightly thicker than conventional paper filters. This allows them to retain even the finest dirt particles as well as potentially unwanted oils and fats.
These special properties of Chemex paper filters ensure an optimal extraction time and a resulting, beautiful cup of coffee.
Because only the desired aroma elements can pass through the filter, the coffee tastes particularly aromatic, clear and not bitter.
A nice health benefit: Especially if you want to watch your cholesterol levels, coffee preparation with the Chemex carafe is the first choice.
Available in two different sizes:
Chemex filters are available in two different sizes, precisely tailored to the size of the Chemex carafe. The smaller coffee filters are suitable for Chemex carafes that brew up to 3 cups of filter coffee. These are crescent-shaped and must be folded before use. The larger coffee filters are suitable for Chemex carafes that brew 5, 6, 8, and 10 cups of coffee. The large filters come pre-folded and are supplied in either a round or square shape, depending on availability (the corners of the square shape protrude slightly).
Quick tip:
We recommend rinsing the filters briefly with hot water before use. This will prevent a slight papery taste in the brewed coffee.
Instructions for the Chemex filters:
The small filters: If you are using the unfolded Chemex filters, first fold them so that the filter forms a semicircle. Then fold the semicircle in half again and open it like the pre-folded version – into a cone shape. Folding is very easy and is described in detail on the packaging.
