Pure Elegance
The beauty and functionality of the CHEMEX has been admired by many over the last 80 plus years. The CHEMEX can be found in museums throughout the world such as the Brooklyn Museum, Corning Museum of Glass and MOMA, NY.
Pure Ease
The inventor of the CHEMEX, Dr. Peter Schlumbohm, set out to make a coffeemaker that anyone could use easily to make consistently good coffee. The result was a vessel that brews the perfect cup of coffee every time.
Pure Taste
The CHEMEX system brews the perfect cup of coffee using the patented CHEMEX filters along with the pure glass coffeemaker. It provides the proper flow rate for extraction and all important “bloom” while removing bad fats, bitterness, acidity, and sediments that other types of filters leave behind. Light, medium, and dark roast lovers will enjoy the true taste of their beans with the CHEMEX.

A family owned company with a legacy...
The story began in 1941, when the CHEMEX Coffeemaker was invented by Dr. Peter Schlumbohm PhD to brew the PERFECT cup of coffee. Since that time, the CHEMEX has spanned generations and the globe as an icon of American design. History and craft are embedded in our makeup. At the CHEMEX factory located in Massachusetts, we still inspect, polish and hand-tie each coffeemaker and cut every filter - just as we always have. Led by a brother and sister who grew up on the factory floor, CHEMEX Corporation is made up of a team of people who are passionate about bringing superior brewing equipment to the global community.
Pure Design. Pure Flavor...
It has been said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But imitation can truly be no substitute for the original CHEMEX coffeemaker brewing system. Few products can match the flawless blending of design and function of the CHEMEX. Its visual elegance has earned it a place in the permanent collections in many of the most prestigious museums worldwide. Its functionally has been awarded by the scientific and coffee communities. CHEMEX coffeemakers are made from the same high quality glass used for lab ware. It is beautifully clear and imparts no flavors or chemicals into your brewed coffee. Each coffeemaker is inspected, polished and hand tied by one of our team, before getting boxed up for shipping. CHEMEX Bonded filters are based on laboratory paper and designed to remove bad fats, bitterness, acidity and sediments that all other types of filters leave behind. Each filter is cut in house, on a machine that is operated by one of our team. Our filter paper is manufactured in the USA from North American materials only, adhering to responsible and sustainable practices.

O filtro se ajustou perfeitamente na jarra Chemex e o papel tem uma excelente textura. O café fica uma maravilha, suave e delicado. Costumo usar o mesmo café com filtro comum (Melitta) no dia a dia, passado em coador convencional, mas na Chemex (com esse filtro) é surpreendente como fica melhor.

Dico credo perché…non ho ancora usato la caffettiera! È assurdo, ma è così, la mia paura è di non saperla usare anche se so che il caffè risulta essere ottimo.

These coffee filters are top notch, and there's a hidden bonus that I'll tell you about. First, my process:1) Use ceramic burr grinder to grind beans into a fine grind, about the consistency of powdered sugar.2) Add grinds to filter (in a chemex decanter, obviously) and then pour just enough boiling water on the grinds to soak them. This is recommended by chemex as well if you read the insert they give you.3) After about 30-60 sec I just pure water in until the level is about 2/3 up the edge of the decanter and let it brew. Works great.So using this method, and after having tried various coarser grind settings, this has proven to work the best with all different types of coffee beans. I have also tried using the metal chemex filters here and they are total junk. They clog if you use anything other than coarse grinds, but the coarse grinds don't let you get the best flavor.Now here is the tip. These chemex paper filters are REUSABLE. Yes, here's how:1) Right after you finish brewing coffee just rinse away the grinds gently under the tap.2) Don't crumple the filter or try to wring it dry. After you rinse it, and it's still wet, fold it back into its original shape as best you can and let it dry in your dish rack.3) One filter will easily last 10 brews or more. Flavor will not be compromised. When you notice the fibers of the filter start to get stringy and fuzzy, that's when you swap over to a fresh one.There is no reason to brew once and then throw away the filter. It is VERY HIGH QUALITY PAPER and in my opinion, using it multiple times actually improves the flavor. I've gotten over 20 brews from one filter and on the 20th time the chemex still did a better job than one of those cheapo paper filters they sell in most supermarkets.

I just got my FIRST CHEMEX 8 cup carafe and these filters. I see a noticeable difference from other filters I have used in the past for drip or mechanical coffee makers.I BELIEVE THE FILTERS ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT piece of this coffee puzzle!I got the circle unbleached filters as the CHEMEX carafe is a circular drip maker. Seemed easiest to use. I have bleached CHEMEX circle filters on order to see if there is a taste difference I can discern.USE THESE FILTERS in whatever coffee maker you have...a mug, a drip, a mechanical drip...use CHEMEX FILTERS!The CHEMEX filters are much thicker than doubling up other brands of filters....So there must be more than thickness of material involved in a GREAT CUP of COFFEE.I'll, eventually, try the square CHEMEX as well as the bleached CHEMEX filters...just ....because....HeEre's my review of the CHEMEX 8 cup CARAFE"I received my CHEMEX COFFEE CARAFE, CHEMEX FILTERS (unbleached in circle shape) and terrific roasted beans....Where's the grinder...YIKES! no grinder!

CHASE and SANBORN....I had to make something in the new pot....right????This was the finest cup of joe. It tasted so fine with a bit of sugar. No fines or bitterness in the mug.I used the "DOT" (raised bump) on the carafe to make 24 ounce of splendid coffee. I measured out 5 cups of coffee for a 4 cup pot.I believe the filter is ALL IMPORTANT!The carafe is easy to handle.I fill the carafe with cold tap water (to the dot which is ~ 24 ounce) dot is a measurement indicator on the carafe.Putting the cold water from carafe, I put on an electric (short spout)CUISINART kettle to boilI pour HOT tap water, into the carafe ~145 degF to pre-warmI pour hot tap water into my 24 ounce OXO thermos cup to pre-warmI put the CHEMEX filter in the top of carafeI put 5 cups, measured, of coffee into the filterWhen water is boiled I pour kettle water onto grounds to cover the groundsI wait for the water to completely drain; thus allowing the grinds to "BLOOM"After water is through the grinds and the bubbles stop (within seconds)I continue to pour the remainder of the boiled water on the grounds...SLOWLY...After kettle is EMPTY AND ALL THE WATER IS THROUGH THE GROUNDSRemove the grounds filled filter and fill the pre-warmed OXO thermos mug with coffeeA bit of sugar and the nicest cup o joe is waiting for me!NO OIL SHEEN, NO BITTERNESSEasily replicated coffee each time.To clean...I swirl HOT water in the carafe and put it aside till the morrow.DAMN!

Our order for the Pre Folded Circle Coffee Filters for our Chemex arrived promptly--thank you! We appreciate that there are are online companies that offer Chemex products at a good price.We first saw a Chemex being used on Rachel's Ray's TV show. After doing some research, we decided to purchase one. We have been using a Chemex for five years now, and we honestly can't understand why anyone would continue to use an automatic drip coffee maker--even the better brand coffee makers that use a cone (Braun, Krups, etc.). Our coffee is so much better!As for the filters themselves, they are ESSENTIAL to the Chemex brewing system. A #4 cone filter will not work well. We have always used the Pre Folded Circle Filters, and thus cannot attest to the other filters Chemex offers. We have been very happy with these.PROS to the Chemex Brewing System:+ Quality/Taste of coffee is superior+ Cheaper than a better brand automatic drip coffee maker+ No plug, thus does not take up valuable counter space and can be stored on a shelf or cabinet+ No water filter for the coffee maker needed (which, BTW, can be difficult to find)+ No descaling neededCONS to the Chemex Brewing System (if you can really call these "cons"):+ Takes a little time to get the hang of the brewing technique and to figure out how much coffee to brew for your taste.+ You will probably need a water kettle with a long neck+ Probably need to order all Chemex products online (we live in a city, and we don't know of a place that sells Chemex products--this is why we order two boxes of filters at a time)We love our Chemex, and so will you!
