Collection: Filter Papers

Why Coffee Filter Papers Matter

The secret to a clean, sweet cup of coffee often comes down to something small: your filter paper. The right filters let the best flavours through while holding back fines and oils, so your pour-over, batch brew, or cold brew tastes clear and consistent every time.

Paper filters are designed to trap sediment and much of the coffee’s oils, giving you a brighter, cleaner cup than metal or mesh alone.
Choosing the right shape, size, and paper type for your brewer ensures even flow, balanced extraction, and a flavour profile that matches how you like your coffee to taste.

Why Choose Coffee Plus Filter Papers

The Coffee Plus filter paper range covers popular brewers like Hario V60, Kalita, Chemex, Aeropress, batch brewers, and cold brew systems, so you can match filters precisely to your gear.
You’ll find both bleached and unbleached papers, specialty fast‑flow filters, and format‑specific options like cones, flat‑bottoms, and discs—all chosen to deliver reliable, repeatable brews.

Shapes, sizes, and brew styles

Cone filters are ideal for brewers like V60 and Chemex where a conical bed promotes even extraction and highlights clarity.
Flat‑bottom and “wave” style filters suit drippers like Kalita, encouraging a more even bed depth and often a slightly fuller body.
Disc filters are used in brewers such as the Aeropress and some cold brew systems, helping reduce fines while keeping the brewer fast and versatile. 

Our dedicated cold dripper filters are engineered to handle hours of saturation without breaking down or imparting paper flavors, ensuring your cold brew remains crisp and refreshing.

Bleached vs unbleached and paper density

Bleached filter papers (often oxygen‑bleached) brew very clean and neutral, without adding papery flavours to your cup.
Unbleached filters are more minimally processed and naturally brown; they can add a slight paper taste if unrinsed but perform beautifully once pre‑wet, and many drinkers prefer them for environmental reasons.
Denser, thicker papers slow drawdown and emphasise cleanliness, while thinner papers allow faster flow and can deliver more body and oils.

How to use your filter papers

Prep and rinsing

Always choose the size and shape specified for your brewer—V60 01 vs 02 vs 03, Kalita 155 vs 185, Chemex 6‑cup, basket vs cone, and so on—so the filter sits flush and supports even extraction.
Fold any seams as directed, place the filter into the dripper, and rinse thoroughly with hot water to remove papery notes and preheat the brewer and carafe.
Discard the rinse water before adding coffee and starting your brew.

Brewing basics

Add your ground coffee, level it lightly, then pour in stages, watching drawdown speed—if it’s too slow or too fast for your recipe, you can adjust grind size or experiment with different paper thickness next time.
For unbleached filters or very dense papers, pay extra attention to rinsing and pouring technique to keep flavours clean and the brew time in your target window.

Find your Ideal Coffee Plus Filter Papers

Use this quick guide to pair your filter papers with your favourite brewers and flavour goals.

• For V60 and conical pour‑overs: Choose cone‑shaped filters in the matching size (01/02/03). Bleached for maximum clarity, unbleached for those who prefer minimally processed papers (with a good rinse). Our Hario 02 brown filters are designed for the 1-4 cup daily driver. These filters feature the signature crepe texture inside and out, which allows for adequate air flow during the bloom and a steady drawdown.
• For Kalita and flat‑bottom drippers: Pick Kalita Wave or flat‑bottom filters in the correct size (e.g., 155/185) for balanced extraction and a slightly fuller cup.
• For Aeropress and compact brewers: Use round disc papers sized for your device to keep brews clean and versatile across recipes.
• For Chemex and larger batch brewers: Opt for thicker Chemex or basket papers that can handle higher volumes while keeping the cup crisp and sediment‑free. Need to brew for a crowd? We also carry the larger Hario 03 sets, perfect for big batches without risking an overflow. The genius of these pour over filters lies in their ability to highlight acidity and sweetness, providing a bright, clean cup that heavy metal filters simply cannot replicate.

We recommend pairing your high-quality papers with our precision Eureka Home Grinders. A consistent grind size matches the pore size of the paper, creating a harmony that results in the perfect drawdown time.

Furthermore, if you are looking to expand beyond manual brewing into the world of pressure profiling, our Lelit espresso machines offer the ultimate upgrade. But for those quiet mornings where a hand-pour is the meditation you need, our filter collection is your best companion.
