What to know about coffee filter paper?

Whether filter basket design yields a better-tasting cup of coffee has been a topic of heated discussion in the specialty coffee industry for years. The conical camp claims that the steep, constant angle of the brewer and filter, which is present in cone-shaped brewers results in coffee that is well-extracted and balanced. However, many who favor flat-bottom brewers claim that they produce better-tasting coffee and that they are simpler to use without the need for particular pouring techniques. The coffee filters are widely used to brew coffee on regular basis.



Do you need to soak a paper filter first before brewing? 

Certainly, pre-wetting your paper coffee filters is something that most coffee experts advise. The papery flavor of the brewed coffee will be eliminated by prevetting. Also, if making a pour-over coffee by hand, heating your carafe while pre-wetting the filter will help it hold the coffee's temperature longer. Pre-wetting a filter for an immersion brew is generally not advised, though.

 What makes white paper filters and brown paper filters different? 

While brown filters are not bleached, white ones are. White filters are often bleached using either oxygen or a little amount of chlorine. For making coffee, either approach is secure, and the bleaching procedure has no impact on the quality of your beverage. Bleaching, however, adds a further step to the manufacturing process and has negative environmental effects. 

Why are paper filters marked with numbers? 

These figures represent the size of the filter. According to the quantity of coffee being brewed, the majority of automatic drip coffee machines advise using a particular filter size. You need a No. 2 filter to brew 2 to 6 cups, a No. 4 filter to manufacture 8 to 10 cups, and a No. 6 filter to brew more than 10. You also need a coffee filter exporter to access quality coffee at the end.
