Product Information

Lastly, if it just so happens to be blazing how where you’re at right now and the thought of hot coffee doesn’t get you excited, don’t forget about my Cold Brew Coffee Recipe. The design of these specialized filters ensures that most of the oils and sediment remain contained within them, allowing only the flavorful liquid to pass when you brew your coffee. While the circle and square types are more common, you’d have no choice but to use the half-moon-shaped ones if you own a 3-cup Chemex or their Funnex variant.

When the level drops by about an inch (you don’t want to see the top of that coffee bed while brewing) pour again and repeat as needed until you’ve used all the water.

This is achieved using 20-30% thicker and denser paper material than conventional drip coffee maker filters. Then pour the rest of the water in a slow, circular fashion, until you've filled the top nearly full. For a full container (on the eight cup model), try starting with 4 coffee scoopsand adjust as necessary.The Chemex carafe is a beautiful serving vessel, so bring it over to the table for a nice centerpiece, or just pour your coffee into mugs and serve right away. I was a bit skeptical when there was visible sediment trapped between the two filters, but luckily the sponge took care of everything in no time.

Cloth coffee filters are the next most durable, but their longevity depends on your palate and cleaning protocol. You can use classic paper filters designed for pour-over coffee, which work reasonably well with Chemex brewers. That is how the brewer was invented in the ’40s, and there is a reason why it hasn’t changed much since. Instead, they use a more environmentally friendly oxidizing process involving hydrogen peroxide to whiten the paper, followed by multiple hot water baths to remove all traces of the chemical ( 8). I’m sure this is blasphemy to coffee connoisseurs, but I’m all about easy and not having to wash my Chemex every day if I don’t have to.About once a month or whenever I notice any staining, I fill the pot with 1/4-1/3 white vinegar and remaining to the brim with hot water and let it sit for an hour or more and then rinse. My first observation with the Kone is that it’s finicky yet consistent if you avoid pouring water through the side.
