Filters: paper, metal, or cloth

6Minutes
filter materials

Paper, metal, or cloth — the filter material is probably the most underrated parameter in the cup. The difference is dramatic.

The differences in short

  • Paper:Clean, clear cup. Holds back the oils. Best with light filter roasts.
  • Metal:Heavier, textured cup. Lets the oils through. The eco choice.
  • Cloth:A hybrid — body plus clarity. Demands careful upkeep.

If you are wondering where to start — paper, either Cafec Abaca or Hario V60 02. The small price bump over generic white papers is worth it.
