If you choose to buy hand filter paper? How much is the coffee filter paper? The difference between bleached filter paper and log filter paper?

Coffee filter paper accounts for a small proportion of the total investment in hand-brewed coffee, but it has a great impact on the flavor and quality of coffee. If you communicate with coffee players, you should have heard the keywords "paper flavor" and "fit", which are all related to small filter paper. In this issue of Qianjie, let's share our experience in choosing filter paper.

-fit-before we buy filter paper, we first need to know exactly what filter cup is used directly. If you are using Melitta, Kalita and other fan-shaped filter cups, you need to choose fan-shaped filter paper; if you are using V60, Kono and other conical filter cups, you need to choose tapered filter paper; if you are using flat-bottomed filter cups, you need to choose cake filter paper.

The size of the filter paper also depends on the size of the filter cup. At present, there are two common types of filter paper, namely, 1-2 small filter paper and 3-4 large filter paper. If the large filter paper is placed on the small filter cup, it will cause the inconvenience of water injection, and if the small filter paper is placed on the large filter cup, it will cause obstacles to brewing coffee with large amount of powder. So it's best to match. Another question is about fitting, which can be seen as "does the filter paper fit with the filter cup?" In fact, folding filter paper is skillful! ", add here, if you are using a ceramic filter cup, you may encounter a situation where the bottom does not fit. This is because the ceramic will be covered with a layer of glaze at the end, which has a thickness and will change the angle of 60 slightly. At this time, when folding the filter paper, do not take the sewing line as the basis, first stick the filter paper on the filter cup and press out the actual sticking mark. Because of this, Qianjie prefers to use resin material with higher precision when it is produced.

-Log and bleaching-the biggest criticism of log filter paper is the smell of paper. We don't want to taste filter paper in coffee, so we rarely use log filter paper at present.

Qianjie is more inclined to bleach filter paper because the taste of bleached filter paper is negligible and restores the taste of coffee to a greater extent. Many people worry that bleached filter paper is "poisonous" and so on. Indeed, the traditional bleaching methods are chlorine bleaching and peroxy bleaching, which will leave some substances harmful to the human body, but with the progress of science and technology, most large brands of filter paper are bleached with advanced enzymes, that is, the use of bioactive enzymes for bleaching. This technology is widely used in the medical field, and the degree of harm can be ignored. There are also many friends who are affected by the taste of paper and have to soak the filter paper before brewing. In fact, the bleached filter paper of large factories can be almost tasteless. Whether you get wet or not depends entirely on your habits.

Paper-interested friends can buy several popular filter papers on the market to compare, observe its lines, touch its hardness, and measure its launching speed, almost all of them are different. The speed of launching is no good or bad. Need to be in line with their own concept of brewing.

As for Qianjie, they tend to choose filter paper with soft material and quick launching. Qianjie's advice to everyone is that filter paper is not expensive anyway, buy a few more brands to compare, you will be able to find what you like.
