Coffee Filters

Calling all coffee connoisseurs, caffeine cravers, and java junkies! Did you know that the main ingredient in your coffee is water? That’s why it’s important to have the right filters in place to make your favorite brew. Believe it or not, coffee filters are essential in ensuring that you enjoy every last sip.

Why do you need to change your coffee filter? What does it protect against?

Depending on what coffee maker you have, you’ll need to make sure that you have the appropriate coffee filters in place before brewing your coffee.

There are two main types of coffee filters:

1. Coffee Filters
2. Coffee Water Filters

Coffee filters prevent coffee grounds from getting into your coffee. The most common coffee machine filters are made of paper, metal, or cloth. Paper coffee filters are intended for one-time use, while metal and cloth filters allow for multiple uses. Metal coffee filters also known as reusable coffee filters or permanent coffee filters, are an economical alternative to coffee filter paper.

Coffee Water Filters are integrated into the coffee machine and will capture waterborne contaminants such as sodium, organic solids, and bacteria. Coffee water filters are not as common as you would think and are specific to the make and model of your coffee maker.

How do you find the correct replacement filter?

The correct replacement coffee filter is the one that fits your coffee machine. You’ll want to make sure that the shape and size of the coffee filter you select will fit your machine. For instance, if you have a large coffee filter but purchase one that is too small, it will be difficult to prevent the grounds from getting into your coffee cup. A visual inspection can suffice, but you’ll want to make sure that you research the brand of coffee maker you have or consult your owner’s manual to ensure you are purchasing the right one.

When it comes to finding a water filter for your coffee machine, you’ll want to make sure that you choose the genuine or compatible one. Coffee water filters are designed specifically to fit a certain brand and style of coffee maker unless you opt for a universal coffee water filter. Always check your owner’s manual or research online to be sure.
