I'm noticing there's a little cap at the bottom of the filter -- wouldn't the grounds and even a bit of the coffee pool up there? Should a paper filter be used even though they clearly intended the mesh to be the filter?
yes it will take a minute or two for pouring- I pour about 2 oz. at a time, I let it drip then pour some more around the edges- using my Bonavita, the gooseneck spout helps with control to "target" all the areas precisely. Its all a very ZEN process ;) makes you stop and smell the coffee...

I'm not all that exacting when it comes to the pour. We make a ~28 oz batch every morning using a Hario V60 Buono Electric Kettle (that's about the most you can put in the kettle without it overflowing at boil).
1. Pour enough water to just cover and wet the grounds, let them soak about 20 seconds
2. Pour enough water to bring the level up to about a half inch below the top of the Chemex
3. Refill water as the level drops, never letting the level drop all the all the way down (I try not to let it drop more than an inch to 1.5 inches, but I'm often distracted by other morning chores)
I don't the sides of the filter, but pour in a circular motion in the middle so that the grounds stay adhered to the sides of the cone after all the water has drained through.
