Paper vs metal – what’s the difference?

Benefits of paper:

1. They are disposable, so this makes cleaning up a lot quicker and easier.
2. The fines are removed by paper filters which creates a much cleaner and smoother drink.
3. There is slightly more thorough filtration with paper and slightly more pressure is applied, which also adds to the clean, smooth taste.

Benefits of metal:

1. It is reusable, so better for those who don’t want to re-purchase paper filters.
2. Does not alter the taste, whereas paper that has not been rinsed may do this.
3. Gives a slightly sweeter taste depending on what kind of metal filter you use.

5. Add the coffee and half fill with the hot water.
6. Stir for 5 seconds and then leave to steep for 30 seconds.
7. Fill with the rest of the hot water and screw on the filter.
