How to choose a coffee filter?

2022-11-08

1. The price of filter paper is low, and it is divided into two types: bleached and unbleached. Bleached filter paper is recommended as unbleached filter paper has a distinct papery smell.
advantage:
The filter paper can filter out all insoluble substances and most of the coffee crema, so as to get the cleanest cup of pour over coffee, which is also full of fragrance. In addition, it can be easily purchased through various channels.
shortcoming:
Disposable, some need to be rinsed with water before use to remove the unpleasant paper smell and prevent it from affecting the coffee flavor.

2. Filter cloth is the predecessor of filter paper. Using filter cloth (usually cotton) will give you a clean cup of coffee, and the taste is better than that of coffee filtered by filter paper.
advantage:
It can be used repeatedly, and while most of the insoluble matter is isolated, a part of the coffee crema can be passed through, so the obtained coffee is not only full of aroma, but also denser in taste.
shortcoming:
It must be washed after each use, and it should be soaked in clean water, packed in an airtight container, and stored in the refrigerator. Otherwise, it will emit an unpleasant smell and affect the taste when making coffee.

3. Metal filter Just like an espresso machine, you can also use a metal filter to make hand-made coffee. The metal strainer has many small holes of equal diameter, enough to allow liquid to flow through, but at the same time allow some residue, undissolved matter and coffee crema to flow into the cup.
advantage:
It is easy to clean and can be used repeatedly without special storage. Filtered coffee has a smoother texture, higher body, and of course, cloudiness.
shortcoming:
The aroma of the coffee made is not as good as the first two. It is recommended to use different filters for different Coffee Machines
