CHEMEX^® Bonded Filters

Chemex® filters are 20-30% heavier than competitive brands and remove even the finest sediment particles as well as the undesirable oils and fats. The formulation of the filter permits the proper infusion time by regulating the filtration rate - not too slow, not too fast. Good infusion of the coffee grounds (as in brewing and steeping tea) gives coffee a richer flavor while at the same time making possible precise fractional extraction filtering out the undesirable components which make coffee bitter by allowing only the desirable flavor elements of the coffee bean to pass through.

The Chemex® filter is folded into a cone shape, exactly as in laboratory techniques. This assures uniform extraction since the water filters through all the grounds on its way to the apex of the cone. The Chemex® filter is guaranteed not to burst under the weight of the liquid during filtration, and not to break when lifting out the grounds.

Contains 100 prefolded filters.

The Chemex coffeemaking system was developed by a chemist to achieve one result ... Brew A Perfect Cup of Coffee Everytime.

The keystone of the Chemex method is the fractional extraction of only the desirable parts of the coffee bean. Fractional extraction at 190-200 Fahrenheit leaves the coffee fats and bitter elements in the coffee grounds, not in your cup. Chemex-bonded filters and the proper brewing method make this possible.

Chemex Brewing Instructions

Step One:

Open the Chemex Coffee Filter into a cone. One side should have three layers. Place the cone in the top of your coffeemaker with the thick portion toward the pouring spout.

Step Two:

Using Regular or Automatic Grind coffee only, put one rounded tablespoon of coffee per 5 oz. cup into the filter cone. If you prefer stronger coffee, use more; there is never any bitterness in coffee brewed using the Chemex® method.

Step Three:

When the water is boiling, remove it from the heat until it stops boiling vigorously. It should now be at about 200°F, a perfect brewing temperature. Pour a small amount of water over the coffee grounds, just enough to wet them without floating. This is important because it allows the grounds to "bloom," so the desirable coffee elements can be released.

Step Four:

After this first wetting simply pour more water, soaking the grounds each time, but keeping the water level well below the top of the coffeemaker. Once the desired amount of coffee is brewed, dispose of the spent grounds by lifting the filter out of the coffeemaker. And that's it! You are now ready to enjoy a perfect cup of coffee!

Important:

Always use regular or medium grind with the Chemex Coffee Filters. Any other grind may affect the filtration rate. We recommend using spring water or purified water for making coffee. The quantity of brewed coffee can be measured in the Chemex Coffee Maker by using the button and handle bottom as guides. Measurements are based on a standard 5 ounce cup. The button marks the halfway point, and the bottom of the handle indicates full capacity.

Use with CM-1 Brewers

Hario small compact hand grinder.

Hario manual ceramic burr grinder 

Ceramic 02 size dropper by Hario 

Plastic 02 size dripper from Hario

Cone shaped pourover dripper, makes 1-4 5oz cups in fantasyland, or 1 real sized cup in the real world.

Brewing using a Hario V60 is simple!  Just follow these five simple steps: 

1. Rinse your paper filter with water to remove any paper tastes.
2. Preheat your Hario V60 by rinsing with hot water and insert your filter.
3. Grind the coffee immediately before you brew. What grind to use? You want to use a medium grind (sometimes called “auto-drip") for cone brewing. If water pools and fails to drain, make the grind a little coarser.
4. Measure the correct amount of ground coffee into the filter. We recommend using 8 grams of coffee to 5 oz water (#1 filter 5 oz (150ml) 8 grams (.28oz) or #2 filter 10 oz (300ml) 16 grams (.56oz).
5. Using water that just reached a boil, (about 200 degrees F) add a small amount of water to wet all the grounds and let the coffee “bloom.”  Wait 30 to 45 seconds, then start to pour the rest of the water slowly from the center of the grounds outward, in a circular motion using a third of the remaining liquid at a time.  Total brew time should be about 2:30 minutes. Remove the filter and enjoy!
