Review on 🔮 Chemex Half Moon Filter - 100 Count by Jeff Salvino

This filter will be destroyed when wet and used. Folded as directed, then filled with hot water to clean the filter. Put the coffee in the filter. I started pouring water and noticed the vent was clogged with a ruptured filter. This happened several times. The only way to prevent this is to poke a hole with a chopstick to allow air to escape. I also put a drinking straw in the vent to let air in. Obviously, without air, the coffee will not drain properly, giving the impression that the ground coffee is too fine. This system sucks so I went back to my 6 cup where round filters don't break and work great. Is there another way to fold the filter so it doesn't collapse? Many Thanks.
