Know before you buy
Yes, these filters are designed to fit most standard cone-shaped coffeemakers. However, they are specifically incompatible with the Chemex CM-1, CM-1C, CM-1GH, and CM-FNX models.
The 20–30% heavier construction is engineered to remove more fine sediment, oils, and bitter compounds than thinner alternatives. This results in a cleaner, more refined cup of coffee with a lighter body.
While the paper is flavor-neutral, rinsing the filter with hot water before adding your coffee grounds is recommended. This helps remove any residual paper taste and pre-heats your brewing vessel.
Oxygen-cleansing is a bleaching process that uses oxygen rather than chlorine to whiten the paper. This ensures the filters are clean and free from chemical residues that could affect the flavor of your coffee.
The pre-folded design ensures the filter sits perfectly in the cone, promoting uniform water flow and consistent extraction. It also saves time during your morning routine by eliminating the need to manually fold the paper.
