Filter Papers
Filter paper size is dictated by the brewer, not by preference — fitting the wrong cone causes overflow and channelling, and it’s the most common reason a filter brew tastes thin.
For commercial batch brewers we stock Bravilor papers, including B40 boxes of 250 and the Mondo Novo TH size. For pour-over and speciality service, the Hario V60 range covers 01 (one to two cups) and 02 (one to four cups), in packs of 40 or 100.
Bleached or unbleached is a genuine choice, not marketing. Unbleached papers are oxygen-processed and slightly cheaper but need a proper pre-rinse or they’ll add a papery note to the cup. Bleached papers rinse cleaner with less water. If you’re serving speciality coffee where the customer notices, bleached is the safer default.

Whether you are brewing in a Coffee Shop, office or at home, a quality coffee paper filter helps control flow, reduce sediment and support even extraction. If you have ever had a brew taste muddy, stall mid-pour or run too fast, the filter is often part of the answer — not just the recipe.
What Filter Paper Actually Does (and Why It Matters)
A paper filter is more than a “holder” for grounds. In paper filter coffee, the paper’s thickness and pore structure influence:
- Clarity: how many fine particles make it into the cup (cleaner taste vs heavier body).
- Flow rate: how quickly water draws down (affects extraction and repeatability).
- Flavour balance: paper filters can capture some oils, often producing a brighter, cleaner profile.
That is why choosing the correct filter paper for your brewer and batch size is one of the simplest upgrades you can make.
How to Choose the Right Coffee Filter Paper
Most people buy the wrong filter because they only check “V60” or “AeroPress”. Use this quick guide instead:
- Match the brewer shape: cone filters (e.g. V60) and circular/disc filters (e.g. AeroPress) are not interchangeable.
- Choose the correct size: for V60, “01” suits smaller brews (often 1–2 cups) and “02/03” suit larger brews (ideal for bigger doses or serving multiple drinks).
- Pick bleached vs unbleached: both can brew brilliantly; the key is proper rinsing (see below) and choosing what suits your workflow.
- Commercial brewers need commercial filters: batch machines often use larger diameters and higher volumes — pick the filter designed for your brewer model rather than “close enough”. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Barista Tips People Ask About
- “Do I need to rinse the filter?” Yes. A quick hot-water rinse helps remove any papery notes, warms the brewer and improves temperature stability.
- “Why is my V60 drawdown slow?” Common causes are an overly fine grind, too much agitation, or a filter that is seated poorly. Ensure the paper sits flat against the dripper wall with no folds blocking the exit.
- “Why does it taste weak?” Often the water runs through too fast (grind too coarse, low dose, minimal bloom, or poor pouring technique). A consistent filter fit supports consistent flow, so you can dial in properly.
- “How should I store filter papers?” Keep them dry, sealed and away from strong odours (paper can absorb smells).

Machine Filtration Notes
Some customers also look for extractor fan filter paper for light-duty filtration and maintenance applications. If that is your use case, always confirm the grade, airflow requirements and fit for your specific unit before ordering. (Coffee filters and equipment filters are not always like-for-like, even though both are “filter paper”.)
FAQ: Filter Papers
Which coffee filter paper should I buy for V60?
Choose the size that matches your dripper (01, 02 or 03). If you typically brew 1–2 cups, 01 is usually the best fit; for larger brews or serving multiple drinks, 02/03 is often better. Rinse the filter before brewing for the cleanest flavour.
Bleached vs unbleached filter paper: which is better?
Both can produce excellent paper filter coffee. The main difference is workflow preference. Whichever you choose, a hot-water rinse is the easiest way to minimise any papery taste and preheat your brewer.
Do paper filters affect extraction?
Yes. A coffee paper filter influences flow rate and how many fine particles and oils reach the cup. That changes clarity, body and flavour balance — which is why filter choice helps you get more consistent results.
What causes a slow drawdown when using filter paper?
Most often: grind too fine, too much agitation, or the filter not seated properly (creasing or blocking the exit). Ensure the paper sits evenly, then adjust grind and pour technique before changing recipes.
Is extractor fan filter paper the same as coffee filter paper?
Not always. Extractor fan filter paper is typically intended for airflow/equipment use, while coffee filter paper is designed for brewing performance. Always check the intended application and specifications.
