Filter paper is the most commonly used coffee filter material in the market. I believe that everyone should be very satisfied with the degree of liking. For coffee people who use filter paper, the advantage of filter paper is that it brings us the obvious bright acid value and aroma of coffee, with distinct levels of flavor. This is everyone's common experience. Filter paper can be said to be the most obvious after what kind of fruit aroma and hot and cold changes you should drink.

Shortcoming

To say the disadvantage, there is probably less fat in the coffee, the light roasting tastes mellow or smoother than the metal filter, and the filter paper will also filter out some of the coffee taste (bitterness, I think the deep-roasted taste weakens a little, other flavors, etc.). Then there is more or less waste of paper on environmental protection, and the pulp flavor of filter paper must be washed away with hot water when cooking to avoid extra pulp taste or other odor.
