Today, it was fun to see someone sharing the article about filter paper at stumptown Shudun City Cafe, so I casually translated it into Chinese (not translated word for word).

English website: http://stumptowncoffee.com/facts-coffee-filters/

The following is translated by the editor himself, and the picture is from the Shudun City Cafe, so I borrowed it with the article.

Experiment of hand-punching filter paper

Effect of hand filter Paper on Coffee

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

Experimental method: using the filter as the only manipulation factor

Hand 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.

Hand 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.

Hand-punched filter paper VS metal screen

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.
