Filter paper is also divided into different grades, poor quality filter paper, sometimes will dissolve the taste of the pulp into the coffee, so it is recommended to blanch the filter paper with hot water first, so as to avoid the smell of the paper. In fact, at present, there are quite many kinds of filter paper on the market, such as hemp, bamboo fiber, cotton, and high-grade Japanese and paper; the fiber length of filter paper will affect the taste, and some thicker filter paper can also correct the taste of coffee, such as American Chemex filter paper, because it is thick enough to filter out most impurities, it may taste better than using other filter paper.
How to buy coffee filter paper?
Bleached filter paper vs unbleached filter paper
Coffee filter paper is mostly made of wood, and the pulp color after wood cooking is mostly brown, and it takes several stages of bleaching process to turn white.
The difference between coffee filter paper bleaching and non-bleaching is as follows:
1. Bleaching: the coffee filter paper looks whiter when it is bleached.
2, no bleaching: refers to coffee filter paper without bleaching, filter paper looks close to light brown.
Compared with the white filter paper, the raw wood color filter paper has less bleaching process, but the flavor of the filter paper itself is aggravated. It is necessary to fully soak the filter paper with boiling water when brewing coffee, and some wet it at least 3 times to reduce the taste of the paper into the coffee.
Bleaching filter paper, imported bleaching filter paper, has strict requirements in material selection, process and quality control, mainly the enzymes used in bleaching. This enzyme bleaching is a bioactive enzyme, which is widely used in the field of medicine. The degree of harm is negligible. Wetting filter paper can increase the fit with the filter cup, and it can also save the step of wetting filter paper and directly flush it with powder.

Filtration: in the process of using different filter paper, I found that the filtration of different brands of filter paper is different, resulting in differences in coffee soaking time, in order to maintain consistency in the process of making coffee, you should try your best to maintain the standardization of coffee soaking time, so it is important to understand the filterability of filter paper.
[filter paper price ratio]
The filter paper of Tiamo is very unstable, sometimes it is very fast, sometimes it may be very slow, so I like the filter paper of tiamo most, and the price may be its only advantage.
Chemex filter paper is the most expensive, but it is very filtrate. It can be used repeatedly. If it is used repeatedly for 3 times, the price can be reduced to 50 cents per page, but it is also a problem to take time to clean it. If it is not clean, it may leave the residual taste of the last coffee.
Hario- V60 filter paper can be said to be in order, with its large number of V-shaped cup, its original filter paper is definitely the first choice.
HarioVCF-01-40W Hario bleached version, the texture is relatively soft, there is no obvious smell of paper, but there are more pirated copies on the market, big babies remember to pay attention when buying. 0.6-0.8g/ sheet
Most like KONO coffee filter paper drip filter type hand filter paper, as long as it is a conical filter cup, whether it is Hario V60 filter cup or KONO filter cup can be used, and the Japanese imported KONO filter paper is medium, neither thin nor thick, strong filter water, ideal for water injection and filter cup fit.
Mola bleached filter paper, colorless and tasteless, legend is looking for Sanyo factory OEM, and kono use the same machine made, I do not know whether it is true or false, but the texture is close, cost-effective is true, 0.9-1g/ Zhang
Mola linen filter paper, a little harder than the other two filter papers, has no obvious taste, and somehow has a fresh smell. 0.8-0.9g/ sheet
Kanazawa cotton filter paper, the last cotton filter paper, still has a delicate fragrance, but it has a lighter taste and lighter texture than the first two cotton filter papers, and belongs to the medium hard category. 1.2-1.3g/ Zhang
Kalita filter paper should be directly and quickly injected with hot water in the center. You don't want to inject water along the edge, so the filter paper is at risk of being out of shape.
The national brand bonavita has no obvious paper smell, but it is very hard and the texture is sparse. It feels like exercise paper. 1-1.2g/ sheet
Bonavita cake cup filter paper, thicker than Kalita, specially deepens the design of side guide grooves, providing hand-punching experience
The use of coffee filter paper in follicular coffee can evenly soak and extract coffee essence, thus getting a purer coffee flavor. It is not difficult to make a cup of dripping coffee, but it is not easy to make a good cup of dripping coffee. Very small consumption materials should be so fine!
