However, the Chemex filters are a bit on the pricey side, and in the past I&#8217;ve tried a couple of alternatives. Cheap basket filters from the grocery store didn&#8217;t fit well, and the resulting coffee was not great. A reusable metal filter worked OK once or twice, but the tiny holes got clogged up. I ended up going back to the official Chemex filters. There was a stretch of time during the summer\/early fall when the Chemex filters became unobtainable for less than 4x the normal price, so again I went looking for an alternative. That is when I tried the <a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/coffeesock\">CoffeeSock<\/a>, and I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll be going back to paper. The CoffeeSock is a cloth filter made to fit Chemex brewers. It provides great results. I like really strong coffee, and it lets through a lot of the good-tasting oils from the ground but doesn&#8217;t let through any bits.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been using the same filter for a couple of months now and haven&#8217;t had any problems with it getting funky. After using it in the morning, and after it has cooled off a bit, I dump the used grounds, rinse it out, and set it out to air dry. In the morning, before using the filter, I set it in my coffee mug and pour some boiling water on it. This serves to warm the filter up and do some extra cleaning. I then take it out of mug, toss the now brownish water, and proceed to brew my coffee. This process is a bit more involved than using paper filters, but I find that it is worth the effort.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reusable alternative to paper filters and nylon sacks<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[39],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38283"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38283"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38283\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38285,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38283\/revisions\/38285"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38283"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38283"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38283"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
