[4 Pack] Impresa Reusable Coffee Filters for Chemex Pour Over Coffee Maker 6-13 Cup Models - Cotton Filter Fabric w/Loop - Cloth Filter Washable

I don't really know what to say about this product. They work fine. They do what they advertise. They're decent price, their coffee filter and they do that.

Well, it's not really "Chemex" coffee if you don't use the Chemex filters. If you use a Chemex regularly and like what their filters do, this might not be for you. These cloth filters let oils through and make it a bit more of a hybrid pour over mixed with a touch of French press coffee. They also affect the flow and brew time a lot as a resultChemex filters are a bit too expensive for me though, even at MSRP. If I could even find them in-stores or on Amazon for their MSRP and without absurd shipping charges direct from Chemex, I'd still stock up to have them on hand for special occasions. Until then, I can use these and I personally don't mind the taste of the coffee they produce.These cloth filters did not fall into the bottom of my Chemex brewer, unlike like my other smaller cloth and paper filters when I tried to improvise with those. These also held their shape during brewing and seemed to resist blocking off the pouring spout/air outlet. They have roughly the same size and aesthetic as the official square Chemex filters. It's also nice they kept the tall corners instead of making it round to fit the edge of the Chemex, so you have something to grip and lift the filter out with easier while it's hot. It's a bit messy to clean out the grounds and dump them into the trash, though the remaining grinds tend to rinse right out with no issue. So far I haven't had any grinds make it through the filter and into my cup either.I was expecting larger squares that I'd have to fold into shape to match the Chemex ones, instead these are sewn into a fold-open 2-ply cone on both sides. This makes them easier to use than having to fold them before each use, though they take a bit longer to dry and might be harder to clean as a result. I imagine the water filters through more evenly too, because both sides are the same ply instead of the 1 and 3 ply of the folded Chemex filters. The built-in loop to hang them up for storage/drying is a nice touch, though I don't like the sewn-in laundry label.You might want to look up why some people keep their cloth filters wet and in the refrigerator between daily uses, and even freeze them when not in use for a while. It seems this preserves the filters and helps keep the old coffee oil taste out of the cloth. The fabric seems to fold up nicely to stick in a smaller jar with water if you decide to do this.18 bucks for 4 of these filters is not a bad price at their quality, I just think a 4 pack is a bit too much to buy at once. I will probably stash at least 2 of them, and maybe forget where I put them by the time the others wear out. I'd prefer it if these in a two pack for 9 bucks instead, if that were an option.

This is basically cheese cloth cut to a specific shape. This is actually a good thing because it fits nicely in funnels without extra material draping over the sides! I use it mostly to filter my broth, but I'm sure it'll work just as well for coffee.

I started pour over coffee over 8 years ago using a chemex knock off. I also roast my own coffee beans. Then I came across the Moccamaster which produces a pour over brew equivalent to the manual pour overs. I still use the manual pour over method when I’m camping or traveling. These filters work very well and wash easily by hand. See the new filter vs the 4 day old filter in the photo. The used filter is slightly darker than the new filter. I use a tablespoon to scoop out the used coffee grounds and add them to my raised bed garden and compost pile. I also let the filter dry and then I can brush off the few grounds that remained on the filter. Much more economical than buying coffee filters. I don’t notice any change in the taste of the coffee when I use them. At under five dollars per coffee filter it is definitely worth it. Don’t wash the coffee grounds down the sink unless you’re a plumber. You may be able to use these filters in your coffee maker if you have the V shaped basket. The Moccamaster doesn’t have a constant flow of water and works like a pour over. Other coffee makers have a constant water flow so it might overflow but I believe it would not since water flows through the filter easily. Definitely worth a try.

I think that in general these do impart a kind of "fiber" flavor that you'd also get from paper filters, but that's what I'm really used to at this point, particularly as I've not used stainless on my own setup. It's not quite exactly the same, but close enough I'm not bothered. Changing the grind up helps adjust for differences in brewing time.So far we've been hand washing these (not really keen on laundry detergent flavor in my coffee) and it's been great. The filters themselves catch all the debris, my coffee experience remains intact and as expected.It's kind of weird switching to these for sustainability reasons as paper is super biodegradable and not such an ecological concern, but not needing to remember to order replacement filters, paying for expensive filters, have them shipped, all of that, is a nice change of pace.

I like the idea of these but in action they’re not my favorite. I use a Chemex for pour over coffee. These filters are almost too fast. And they add a flavor to the coffee that the stainless filter doesn’t - even after washing the cloth filters the flavor remains. It’s similar to how it tastes with the paper filters.The pro of this is that there’s no sediment at the bottom of your cup like there is with stainless. But to me the trade off for better tasting coffee is worth it.So I would say go with a stainless filter. It’s also reusable and makes for a nicer flavored pour over.
