Chemex Coffee Maker Filter Papers, Pack of 100

Product Information

This filter has a double filtration feature, which keeps more fine particles out than the Able Kone.

Like the Barista Warrior and Apace designs, the Ovalware filter uses “dual-filter technology,” a double layer of filters that keeps more of the fines out of the cup while still allowing all the coffee oils to pass through. What he’s describing is that they yield a cup that is a cross between what you get from a reusable stainless steel filter and a paper filter, with a medium body and smooth mouthfeel. Pouring water over the grounds to let them “bloom” for about 30-45 seconds really allowed me to taste deeper notes with richer flavors – definitely worth taking note of. The coffee style will be similar to that of a French Press but not quite as robust, since the Chemex coffee maker is an infusion brewing method. This filter slows down the brew and helps with extraction, but it also removes many of the oils and other components that give coffee its body and richness.While paper offers a clean cup and metal adds body, cloth strikes the perfect balance by letting more oils through without leaving any sediment behind. Now, let’s consider the filter itself: CoffeeSock’s offerings are made of Certified Organic cotton (cotton, it should be noted, isn’t without its environmental problems— even the organic kind). It’s available in either a copper or gold colour (both are stainless steel with a coating) and with one of two patterns: a geometric diamond design or a more floral look.

CoffeeSock also recommends occasionally (every 6-8 weeks or so) boiling the filters in fresh water to remove any oil buildup—something that has definitely become noticeable with the older Chemex filters.If you’re worried about the environmental impact of your coffee habit, one simple way to make a change is to switch to these organic hemp coffee filters.
