Chemex, in my opinion, makes the best damn regular coffee. I've tried french presses, vacuum systems, etc.; Chemex 8 Cup Coffee Maker CM 8A tops them all. And it's not even the coffee maker that is the key but the filter paper. Since the Chemex system was invented by a scientist, back in the '30's, I can only assume he was using some laboratory filter paper in his shop and figured out that was what was making his coffee taste so good.

As far as I can tell, Chemex filter paper removes the slightly sour/acid taste from coffee, that I find objectionable. This, in turn, lets through the complex bitter/sweet flavors and allows me to taste them more fully.

For what it's worth, I grind my dark roasted beans right before using them, grinding 6 cups worth for wife and myself. We've also made our own ceramic coffee pots that have the same size top, to hold the Chemex filters. Works just as well as the Chemex pots. Now, if I can just find an auto-brew device that can use Chemex filters for work...

I like these and would recommend them for the Chemex Coffee Maker. Do yourself a favor and use only genuine Chemex filters in the Chemex Coffee Maker, it's the only way to assure great tasting coffee. As usual, Amazon shopping was flawless... easy checkout and quick shipping.

Using these paper filters beats any other way of making coffee. The paper removes some of the bitter parts of the flavor, but allows the full flavor of the particular bean to come through.

I grind my beans just before brewing with a cheap smasher type blade grinder. Coffee snobs may be horrified, but the Chemex filters make the grinder type seem irrelevant to the resulting brew.

Get the half-moon unfolded filters and fold your own. It is part of the ritual.

I've been through a lot of coffee makers, and hated them all till now.

My biggest issue has always been cleanup! I'd leave coffee-grounds in, be too lazy to clean it up later, get mold growing in the coffee maker's reservoir, and on and on.

The Chemex solves all these problems AND makes a stunning cup of coffee. Making the coffee takes a bit longer, as you basically have to spend about 5 minutes or so watching and pouring... however, it's fun to do! I actually look forward to the task. You find yourself making fine adjustments to your coffee making methods every day, just to see the differences you can make.

Cleanup is where you make up for the 5 minutes of pour time... Takes about 15 seconds... Drop the filter in the garbage, rinse the chemex out, put it back on the shelf. If you use hot water to rinse, it dries instantly... No small parts, no reservoirs that remain damp 24/7 collecting fungus, no series of tubes and tunnels that can never be cleaned. And the coffee is as perfect as you make it.

I'll never us another coffee maker.

Note, I also purchased the lid and stove grid. Helps a lot... I brew 8 cups of coffee in the morning, put it on the stove with the mesh, turn my range to low-medium, and put the lid on. Keeps my 8 cups hot and fresh all day.

I had been using the full-sized Chemex filters with very good luck. They are a slightly awkward fit for my 1-3 cup Chemex so I was interested in these smaller Chemex filters. I don't like the smaller filters nearly as much as the larger ones, they seem to make weaker coffee. I've been using two of the smaller filters with better luck but that is not much of a consolation. Unfortunately, I've got 3 boxes (300 filters) of the smaller ones.

My partner bought this. I was unimpressed. Now I use it everyday. It solves the clean up/ counter space problems of the past. The filters seem pretty cheap, compared to K cups that I use at work and the coffee is better!

I am restocking my filters for the Chemex coffeemaker. I have decided to go back to the Chemex. The other coffee makers just aren't as good when it comes to brewing. There is never any bitterness and the taste is excellent!

Nothing too exciting to report--just excellent filters for a superior cup of coffee, delivered on time, well packaged.

Why are these filters so expensive? Chemex's own web site offers these filters for $7.50 per box of 100.

I've been using the larger chemex filter and cutting them down to fit my smaller chemex which works o.k. but these are the proper filter for the smaller chemex and really fit well. The only inconvenience is that they are quite large & have to be folded.
