How to use Unfolded Chemex Filters

Chemex Filter Folding Instructions

Chemex Filter Folding Instructions

  1. Fold the filter in half (then fold it in half again if a full circle filter)
  2. Fold up the tab and then fold the filter in on itself to form a cone (if a half moon filter)
  3. Place your finger between the 3rd and 4th layer of the filter and open it up into a funnel
  4. Place the funnel in the top portion of the Chemex coffeemaker, with 3 layers on the side with the spout
  5. The spout acts as an air vent that allows air to escape the lower section of the brewer to let the coffee draw down at the proper rate
  6. Gently pour hot water through and around the filter to rinse
  7. Empty the water
  8. Put coffee into the filter and then brew coffee
