The Chemex filters are the exact same laboratory filters we used for simple gravity filtration in chemistry labs...same brand, same size, same thickness, folded in the same way, pretty much everything. They're just being used for filtering coffee in this case. Being so much thicker they do a much more thorough job of filtering out undesirable acids, fats, oils, and bitterness than regular thin coffee filters.
This is how we made coffee in the labs without the Chemex brewer but with Chemex filter paper
The Chemex Brewer is a convenient one piece unit...none of my labs had one
