Paper vs. Reusable Coffee Filters

Paper and reusable coffee filters can both make excellent coffee, but they do not produce exactly the same cup. Paper filters trap more coffee oils and very fine particles. That generally produces coffee that tastes cleaner, lighter, and more defined, with very little sediment. Reusable metal filters allow more oils and microscopic particles to pass …

Bleached vs. Unbleached Coffee Filters

Bleached and unbleached coffee filters look different, but the difference in your cup is usually much smaller than people expect. Bleached filters are white because the paper has gone through a whitening process. Unbleached filters retain their natural brown color because they have not been whitened in the same way. Both can make excellent coffee. …

Coffee Filter Sizes Explained

Coffee filter sizes can be surprisingly confusing.

The main difference is control. With pour-over coffee, you control how the water is added, how quickly it flows, how evenly it saturates the grounds, …

Best Grind Size for Drip Coffee

The best grind size for drip coffee is usually medium. It is the dependable starting point for most automatic coffee makers because it allows water to move through the coffee bed at a moderate rate while extracting enough flavor from the grounds. That does not mean every drip coffee maker needs exactly the same grind. …

It is simple, convenient, easy to scale from a single mug to a full pot, and requires far less hands-on attention than methods such as pour-over or espresso. Yet there is a surprisingly large difference between ordinary drip coffee and a genuinely excellent cup. A …
