Coffee filters for a cleaner pour over
CHEMEX Coffee Filter Circles 100-pack is a premium choice for those who want a clearer and more nuanced cup with coffee filters developed for pour over filter paper. The thick bonded paper captures bitterness, sediment, and excess oils, allowing the coffee’s origin and balance to shine through more clearly. The round shape fits neatly in the brewer and provides a clean look, both visually and in the cup. We think this is a particularly good choice for those brewing in larger CHEMEX models who want even extraction every time.

- ✓ 100 filters per package for many brews at home or in a café setting

Care instructions
Open the filter into a cone so that three layers are on one side, and place that side against the spout of the carafe for better stability and to reduce the risk of vacuum sealing during brewing. After brewing, simply lift out the filter and discard it. Since the filter is compostable, it can also be added to the compost. This is a single-use filter, not a reusable coffee filter pack option.
Why choose round Chemex filters?
We recommend the round filters to those who want the same high filtration level as CHEMEX square models, but with a cleaner look in the brewer. They don’t stick up as much over the edge and give a more minimalist impression. The result in the cup is what matters: softer texture, less bitterness, and a more refined brewed coffee.
Round vs square Chemex filters
The difference between round and square CHEMEX filters is practically small when it comes to flavor profile and filtration. Round filters sit neater and more discreetly in the brewer, while square filters have protruding corners that can be easier to grip when handling them before and after brewing. Both come with 100 filters per pack. Our honest note is that the choice mainly comes down to preference in handling and aesthetics, not that one shape always brews better than the other.
