Posted Mon Aug 4, 2008, 9:32am Subject: Chemex replacement for standard #4 cone filter
I currently use a ceramic manual drippper with a standard #4 cone filter. I'm switching to Chemex filters but can't figure out which one is a comparable size.
Would it be the larger FC-100 or the smaller FP-2?

As far as I know, Chemex filters are designed to work with a Chemex, not normal filter holders. The reason is they drip the brew from a pointy bottom that protrudes into the drip chamber. If you could find a funnel with a similar size and slope to a Chemex, you could probably modify it to work. Otherwise, you need a Chemex to make use of their filters. It doesn't matter if you use the square or round ones, they work the same way.
EDIT: The FP-2s are for their pint coffee maker, the others are for all the larger sizes. See here.
