Chemex Pre-Folded Filter Circles (FC-100)
-
Brew coffee the way it was meant to be enjoyed—clean, crisp, and bursting with flavour. The Chemex FC-100 Bonded Filters are expertly crafted to complement your Chemex coffeemaker, delivering a pure and nuanced cup every time. These pre-folded circular filters are more than just paper—they’re a key ingredient in the Chemex brewing method, helping you achieve the clarity and complexity that define a truly exceptional cup.
The Chemex coffeemaker was invented in 1941 by German chemist Dr. Peter Schlumbohm, who sought to merge scientific precision with elegant design. Drawing on his background in chemistry and his passion for aesthetics, Schlumbohm created a coffeemaker that was as functional as it was beautiful. With its hourglass silhouette and wooden collar, the Chemex has become a timeless icon—featured in the Museum of Modern Art and beloved by generations of coffee enthusiasts.
Using Chemex filters is essential to the brewing process. Their unique bonded paper construction—thicker than standard filters—removes bitterness, oils, and sediment, allowing only the desirable flavours and aromas to shine through. Whether you're a seasoned barista or a homebrew novice, these filters help you unlock the full potential of your coffee beans, one clean cup at a time.
