⚡ At a Glance
- • Brewing Quality: Produces a brighter, sweeter cup by absorbing oils and filtering micro-grounds
- • Best for: Pour-over home brewers and cafés using V60 drippers who want clarity and easy cleanup
- • Not ideal for: Those who prefer full-bodied, oily coffee or reusable metal filters
Absorbent, tightly woven paper traps most oils and fine grounds for a cleaner cup. Available in sizes 01 and 02 and intended for single-use, easy disposal.
Brighter, sweeter flavour – Thanks to absorbent, tightly woven paper
Absorbent, tightly woven paper captures oils and micro-grounds while allowing brewed coffee to pass, reducing suspended solids that can mute acidity. Rinsing the paper before pouring helps settle the flow and removes surface papery compounds.
A noticeably cleaner cup with clearer acidity and sweeter tasting notes, particularly compared with metal-filtered brews. Ideal when clarity of origin and roast character matters.
Cleaner health profile – With effective reduction of cafestol by paper filtration
Paper traps cafestol, the compound associated with raised cholesterol in unfiltered coffee, reducing its transfer into the cup. Regular use of paper filtration significantly lowers intake compared with unfiltered methods.
A sensible choice for those concerned about the effects of cafestol from unfiltered coffee. Offers a straightforward way to reduce exposure without changing brewing habits.
Quick, tidy brewing – With simple rinsing and single-use disposal
Rinsing paper with boiling water before use minimises paper taste and warms the dripper, while single-use disposal removes spent grounds in one motion. The soaked paper lifts cleanly from the cone for fast waste removal.
Faster setup and cleanup suit busy mornings or high-turn café service. Consistent flow and easy disposal reduce fuss between brews.
