How it brews
A reusable stainless-steel cone that drops into a Chemex in place of the bonded paper. Metal lets oils and the finest particles pass straight through, so the cup lands far heavier and more textured than paper Chemex — closer to a French press in body, with more sediment in the base. Its perforated wall drains quickly, so it's usually paired with a coarser grind than you'd use on paper to avoid a muddy, over-fast run. Community consensus, not a lab number, sets the "fast" here. The trade you're making is body and zero waste against the paper's clarity.
