What customers say
Enthusiasts praise this cloth filter for delivering a remarkably clean, rich cup with a fuller body than paper filters, while avoiding fine sediment. Users value the high-quality cotton material and excellent fit for their Chemex. The primary appeal is sustainability and long-term cost savings over disposable options. Flavor complexity is enhanced as natural coffee oils pass through. The main friction point is the required maintenance; users must commit to immediate, thorough cleaning, including rinsing and occasional boiling, to prevent oil buildup and sour flavors. This upkeep is the necessary trade-off for superior taste and eco-friendliness.
Know before you buy
Yes, these filters are specifically designed to fit Chemex 6, 8, 10, and 13-cup glass carafes. They are also compatible with Hario V60-03 drippers.
Simply discard the used grounds, rinse the filter thoroughly with hot water, and hang it to dry. Avoid using soap or a dishwasher, as these can leave residue that affects the flavor of your coffee.
No, the cotton is flavor-neutral and does not impart any taste into your brew. Unlike paper filters, it allows more natural oils to pass through, resulting in a fuller-bodied cup without the papery aftertaste.
With proper care and regular rinsing, each filter typically lasts for about 12 months of daily use. The pack includes two filters, providing you with up to two years of brewing.
Periodically, you can boil the filters in plain water for a few minutes to remove deep-set coffee oils and keep them performing optimally. Always ensure they are completely dry before storing them.
