Brew the perfect cup of coffee at home
For use with the "drip method" or directly in the coffee machine, paper filters are popular with those who want a balanced taste experience and avoid excessive oils when brewing.

Paper coffee filters are the best solution to capture unwanted particles during the brewing process, leaving only the delicious coffee bean-infused water for perfect flavor.

 

Why choose paper?
There are a variety of filter shapes on the market, each of which imparts a unique flavor to the brewed coffee. Coffee filters made of paper are ideal for brewing a cup of coffee quickly, easily and sustainably.

Paper coffee filters are disposable, which means they are usually best suited for one-time use, but they are biodegradable, which means they are safe for the environment.

Coffee brewed with paper filters is also easy to clean and affordable, which is why so many coffee lovers choose to use paper filters every time.

Enjoy your coffee in a sustainable and responsible way with filters made of disposable paper.

 

Filtering coffee as part of the brewing process creates the perfect flavor ratio and avoids the production of excess oils that usually affect the appearance and taste of coffee.

Using paper filters to filter coffee grounds can reduce the risk of cholesterol-related diseases because the oily compounds are successfully filtered out. It is important to filter out these oily compounds because they can cause problems for the cholesterol regulators in the body.

 

Therefore, original paper coffee filters not only prevent unwanted flavors and mouthfeel, but also reduce the risk of coffee-related health problems.

Alternatively, standard coffee machines will use paper filters, but make sure you find the correct paper size required.

 

How to use coffee filters?
For coffee novices, this may be your first time trying paper filters and/or the "hand pour over method". If you want to brew your next cup of coffee manually using a paper filter, there are only a few simple steps to make a delicious cup of coffee.

  • Place a paper filter in a cup, mug or glass
  • Prepare the filter by soaking it in boiling water
  • Pour off any excess liquid
  • Place 2 tablespoons of ground coffee in the filter
  • Set a timer for 30 seconds and begin pouring 150 ml of boiling water over the coffee grounds
  • Pour the boiling water over the coffee grounds in a circular motion
  • Let the coffee brew for a few minutes

You may also own a Chemex coffee machine, which is ideal for regular coffee drinkers.

Alternatively, standard coffee machines will use paper filters, but make sure you find the correct paper size you need.

Using filters in your coffee machine
Paper filters can be used in many coffee machines on the market and simply sit in the filter section of the machine.

Measuring out the coffee grounds or beans is one of the most important steps when it comes to brewing a barista-quality cup of coffee.

The best way to measure your coffee is to follow the instructions on the coffee packaging; this may vary between brands. You can measure your coffee with a spoon or a scale. Once you have measured out the coffee grounds or beans, place them in the filter of your machine.

Hot water may take up a designated space in your machine, so be sure to read the instructions and know where to place each ingredient.

 

How do I choose the best paper filter?
Although paper filters brew coffee in the same way, each brand of paper filter has its own unique features.

Ideally, a paper filter should have extra tear resistance to prevent any unwanted tears or spills from ruining your brew.

Some paper filters, like those from Chemex, are specially bonded and have the perfect thickness to ensure perfect filtration. Others, like those from Hario v60, have 60-degree angles and internal ridges to help with air circulation.

Luckily, paper filters are affordable, so why not try them out to find your favorite?
