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 log color filter paper has less bleaching process, but the flavor of the filter paper itself has increased, so you need to fully soak the filter paper with boiling water when brewing coffee, some of which are wet at least 2 times or 3 times. to reduce the smell 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 the filter water is very strong. It can be used repeatedly. If it is used repeatedly for 3 times, the price can be reduced to 50 cents per page, but taking time to clean is also a problem. 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.

Incense 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 filtration, water injection and filter cup fit is very ideal.

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.

Bonavita cake cup filter paper, thicker than Kalita, specially deepens the design of side guide grooves, providing hand-punching experience

It is not difficult to make a cup of dripping coffee, but it is not easy to make a good cup of dripping coffee. Like Italian coffee, there are many variables that you need to grasp. Filter paper is a variable. For example, water quality, water injection, drip rate time, coffee grinding degree and so on, you need to grasp each variable and constantly adjust it, so as to finally find the kind of experience you need for your taste buds.
