I don't know. The crucial test of what they do and how well they do it seems to be that you can heat up the remainder of your pot of coffee later in the day or in the evening, and still you won't get any bitter or acid taste. Is that it.What do the other Amazons say. I say, "Works for me."
I'm so glad to find the Chemex filters again. I couldn't find them locally and Chemex is my favorite way to make coffee.
Nearly everything we eat and drink has some undesirable parts to it: stems, seeds, pits, fuzz, hair, skin, rind, fat, bone; need I go on.Coffee also has substances that simply taste bad. Sometimes I don't finish my cup of commute coffee and leave the cup on the dash. It also holds very well in a vacuum carafe.My son-in-law has some very expensive coffee machine. There are many more things that can ruin the product of good beans properly roasted and clean water at the right temperature. The filters not only capture the undesirables, they also control the pace of the brew. I don't claim to know what they all are, but one for certain is oils. We normally think about just keeping the solids out of our cup. If I've parked in the sun, I can come out after work to a couple swallows of hot coffee that still tastes fresh.the oils that go rancid are missing from Chemex coffee.
Chemex filters capture the oils that can spoil the taste and spoil the coffee itself. I know you purists will scoff, but I love coffee. He was marveling at how great the Chemex coffee is from my old school pot compared to his machine. It's important to sloooow down the brewing to squeeze all of the good out of the beans.Get a Chemex pot and some filters and you will taste the best coffee you've ever had - every day.
Chemex coffee filters do what they are supposed to do -- filter coffee so that as much coffee flavor as possible gets through, without unwanted overtones. No other filters really work well with a Chemex pot, so for those of us who are hooked on Chemex, they are the only way to go.
Chemex are the only filters I have used over the last ten years. They make the perfect coffee with fresh ground beans.
