Which filter to choose for hand-brewed coffee: comparison of filter paper, metal filter mesh and filter cloth

Filter paper-the use of filter paper is very convenient, because it can be lost once, without cleaning, but it is easier to cause taste and aroma in drinking, because poor quality filter paper is easier to release impurities, so it is not recommended! Otherwise, you should choose carefully when buying!

If there is no filter paper, you can consider using a filter cloth or filter:

Filter cloth-filter cloth is troublesome to use! Because it can be reused, it should be cleaned after each use, and hot water should be used for about 10 minutes, otherwise there will be taste residue, which will affect the taste of the next coffee, and it tastes better than filter paper in drinking, because it will not release impurities and tastes better.

Ps. Metal filter-here to give some personal advice, the use of filter paper and filter cloth although cheaper, but will filter out the grease part of the coffee powder! And deep-roasted coffee beans will not drink the most primitive taste! Because a layer of oil from deep-baked coffee beans is also characteristic, it is a pity to be filtered out, while the metal filter will only filter out a small amount of oil, which can still drink a strong taste, and can also be reused, which is convenient and practical, but it is a little expensive in price, depending on your needs.

The above is my personal experience. I hope I can help you.

Effect of filter on Coffee

Objective: to find out the effect of filter on flavor during brew

Experimental method: using the filter as the only manipulation factor

Filter paper test

Experiment 1: let's pour the water into the filter and taste the filter paper. Then we pour the water a second time to test what flavor will remain in your coffee after flushing the filter.

Bar hint: you must rinse the filter before brewing, which can wash away the smell and dust of the filter paper and warm the filter cup.

Experiment 2: test the flavor of coffee brewed by each filter, except that the filter is different, all other variables are the same.

Filter paper difference

Filter paper VS filter paper VS blue velvet

CHEMEX

CHEMEX is the cleanest and least affects the flavor of the coffee itself, but the taste is thinner, the flower aroma is obvious, and the entrance is more dry.

MELITTA OXYGEN BLEACHED Merita oxygen bleaching filter paper

When washing the filter paper, there is a little taste of the paper, the coffee texture is more rich, and there is no significant filter paper flavor.

MELITTA UNBLEACHED NATURAL Merita unbleached filter paper

The first and second flushing filter paper have obvious wood sweetness, brewed coffee seems to add the flavor of paper, and the entrance feels more dry.

HARIO V60

The filter paper smells like grass the first time, but after the second time, the coffee is very bright and has a distinct citrus flavor.

SOCK CLOTH FILTER flannel

It tastes the heaviest, and it's not a comfortable taste. The brewed coffee has a distinct end rhyme, like a wet wool coat. Some people say it's like a thrift store in Oregon. (laughter)

Filter paper and filter

Our suggestion

Choose oxygen bleached filter paper, such as white Merita filter paper, CHEMEX and V60 filter paper. If you like natural unbleached filter paper, try your best to wash it clean. Finally give up French velvet.

Other discoveries

We were shocked to find that the V60 filter paper is different-it is a high-quality filter paper made in Japan. The paper is lighter, but the coffee is better textured, floral and bright. Body is slightly less than Merita, but more citrus than any filter.

Filter paper VS metal strainer

ABLE KONE

The ABLE KONE itself is a filter, a stainless steel cone with many small holes.

He is designed to comply with the Chemex, but any equipment that can support him can also be used. However, there is a great difference in flavor between ABLE KONE metal filter and Chemex filter paper.

Chemex filter paper is the heaviest paper, resulting in brewed coffee is very clean. The coffee brewed with ABLE KONE metal filters is much thicker, extracting more substances (like tiny coffee particles), oils and sediments. In fact, his taste and texture are more like French pressure.

ABLE DISK

ABLE DISK is a metal filter designed for Philharmonic pressure. It comes in two specifications: standard and fine, each with different pores and durability. The standard DISK boils a rich taste and more material, and is more able to withstand pressure and can usually be used for several years. The fine specification of DISK gives a sweet and clean flavor, as well as fewer substances, which are relatively more detailed and should be used with special care.

Finally, you will find that the biggest difference between filter paper and metal filter is that filter paper will filter out more substances and grease. So if you like clean coffee, use filter paper; if you like a richer taste, or if you insist on environmental protection without paper, use a metal filter.
