Reusable coffee filters and paper

Brown and white coffee filters are made of paper, but if the former do not undergo bleaching, the latter are bleached with chlorine or oxygen, of course leaving no chemical taste.

Yes, there are indeed alternatives to paper coffee filters : reusable fabric filters or reusable stainless steel filters, both of which are more ecological and economical in the long term.

Depending on the type of paper coffee filter used, the taste of the extraction may be slightly modified. A tip is to wet the coffee filter before putting it in the machine. This makes the water flow easier and removes any unwelcome flavors.
