Paper Coffee Filter FAQs

Do coffee filters change the taste of coffee?

Absolutely! The type of filter you use can influence the flavour of your coffee. Paper filters absorb some oils, resulting in a lighter taste, while metal or cloth ones let more oils through for a richer, fuller-bodied experience. It’s all about what you enjoy!

How do I know which coffee filter to buy?

Just check what your coffee maker recommends, as they normally make filters specifically for your machine! There are lots of different shapes, like cone or flat-bottom filters, and you can choose between paper or reusable options for sustainability

Are coffee filters compostable?

Most paper coffee filters are compostable, especially if they’re unbleached. Just make sure there aren’t any added chemicals or coatings. And if you're using reusable ones, they can be composted or recycled when they're ready to retire!

Can coffee filters be reused?

While paper filters are generally meant for one-time use, some people will rinse and reuse them if they’re still in good shape. Reusable cloth or metal ones are designed for multiple uses in filter coffee machines and can easily be cleaned after each use.

Who invented coffee filter papers?

German housewife Melitta Bentz invented coffee filter papers in 1908 while looking for a solution to the problem of bitter and gritty coffee. After experimenting with various materials, she discovered that using blotting paper from her son's school notebook over a perforated brass pot created a clean and flavourful brew.
