Coffee filters: size and shape matter more than you think

2026-11-09

A coffee filter that does not match the brewer can fold over or let grounds through. Check the shape and size before the brand.

Match the brewer

Cone filters and basket filters are not interchangeable. The brewer manual or the base of the basket tells you which is needed.

Materials

Bamboo and paper filters differ in colour and feel but all do the same job. Compare pack counts to work out the price per filter.

Frequently asked questions

Q.Can I rinse the filter first?

A.Some people do. It is a matter of taste.
