Coffee Filters—The Unsung Heroes of Coffee Making
There’s nothing like the first cup of coffee in the morning; waking up to a fresh pot is one of those little things that just makes life a bit easier. Making coffee at home not only saves you a ton of money, it also allows you to make a perfect pot just the way you like it. All you need are the fundamental parts that go into making a delicious cup of coffee to fuel your day. One of the most crucial parts of the coffee making process is choosing the right filter. Coffee filters are necessary to make your morning brew taste exactly like as you want it. Filters help improve the extraction process by keeping unwanted substances out, and flowing great taste in. Depending on your brewing process and your appliances, you can find your ideal fit with Best Buy’s selection of different coffee filters.
What are the different types of coffee filters?
First and foremost, when choosing your coffee filter consider what type of coffee maker you’re using. There are a few different options out there. Check your coffee maker’s manual to see what type of filters are compatible, and from there you can choose from different materials. Coffee filters are made from a variety of different materials; from disposable paper filters and reusable cloths, to metal or plastic filters that can be used long term. Once you’ve determined the size of coffee filter you need, you can check out the options available to you.
Paper, plastic or metal? Pick your best coffee filter fit.
Sticking to classic paper filters may seem old school, but they’ve actually been proven to be more effective at keeping unwanted residue out of your coffee while keeping the taste of your coffee as fresh as possible. They are biodegradable, and you are able to compost them with your grounds.
Reusable coffee filters are a lot more environmentally friendly, and allow for daily use without any excess waste. They come in metal and plastic, so they’re long lasting and just need to be thoroughly cleaned. Keurig now has reusable filters made specifically to fit your machine, which is both cost-effective and saves the planet from plastic pods. For non-Keurig machines, you can also use a fitted knock box, which takes coffee pucks. Using reusable coffee filters will definitely save you money long term, and help save the planet in the process.
What are some more benefits of coffee filters?
Keep pulp to orange juice, and keep the grounds out of your coffee. A good filter will keep your coffee clear and clean. However, they have more benefits than just keeping grounds out of coffee, they also trap substances that you want to prevent from putting into your pot. One example of this are oily substances called diterpenes, which can cause higher blood pressure levels. Filters will trap diterpenes out of your coffee alongside the grounds, making you cup clean and clear as can be.
