Can you use Chemex filters without the plastic dripper?

I would like to say it is possible but the width of it is still pretty wide. I don't have any Chemex filters so I haven't tried.

Yes you can. I had the same problem you did, none of the stores carry the filter. Mine was a plastic filter, looks like it was made from recycled plastic, not sure, but it worked. These filters are cloth, and supposed to be allergen quality. They are washable, and work much better than the plastic one that came with the unit. I ordered six (two packages of 3), but that was overkill. Still using the first one I took out of the package. One package of 3 should last you awhile.

Six one way, half a dozen the other. Ones as easy to use as the other. Once you rinse your filter before you brew you just fold and place the three layered side towards the spout of the Chemex and add coffee grounds. It's pretty simple no matter what you use. Bleached, unbleached, square, round it doesn't really matter in use. But these filters make a discernible difference in your coffee drinking experience. Considerably better. Highly recommend!

Yes, or you can use it in a drip-style coffee pot like Mr. Coffee. In this case, you don't need to use a filter.

I found when using the plastic filter, without the paper filter you will get a fine particle sludge of coffee at the bottom of your cup. I am not a fan of cowboy type coffee, so I prefer the filters!

No, it has plastic "feet" that protrude on the botton, would not fit. Of course, you could cut them off and try! Maybe the Able Brewing Kone filter would work in the Hario V60. It was designed for Chemex but who knows...

This carafe is designed to use Chemex cone filters. I don't know if other brands will work.

Yes, you can. You don't need any specific brand filter, but you need a cone filter to keep the coffee out of the carafe.

I never use the filter as the water tastes alright to me. so if you can get the drip to go into the receptacle it would be alright if it taste good to you.

Yes. A filter is recommended, but the connection can be made directly to your supply line.

No, the plastic tubing and the unit fittings are integrated. This replaced another similar unit, so the cold water line was already tapped--no fittings involved. I've been pleased with the unit, the faucet is higher quality than you sometimes find with these things, and so far it just works. Haven't changed out the filter yet, but it looks pretty easy.

Probably, but there would be a lot of wasted filter. The Chemex filter is much larger - the Hario is closer to a standard size 4 filter.

You can choose to use the filter however it works without itt, just a bit of coffee ground is found in the bottom

Yes I believe that you can. There is no plastic on the canister parts .....only the lid.

Yes, I have a plastic filter that can be reused. You only need to remove the holder for the k-cups to fit the bigger filter.

The newer models dont require filter replacement. Some of the older ones we sold do have optional ones. Historically they did not use filters on these, but modern drinkers don't want grounds in the bottom of the cup.The easiest way though is to just use some fine cheesecloth which you can put around the siphoning piece if you like

I have never tried. The outter case is plastic and the container is glass but the filter and plunger are metal. So probably not that part
