Why CAPTN Coffee?

Excellent coffee filters for the best filter coffee

A good paper filter is crucial for preparing coffee by hand. It ensures that you can enjoy your coffee without coffee grounds. When preparing with a paper filter, the aroma of your coffee can develop fully and you can brew your coffee according to your wishes. A coffee filter made of paper is not only necessary for preparation with a hand filter, but also for preparation with an Aeropress or coffee machine.

frequently asked Questions

What size coffee filter?

Coffee filters are available in different sizes. This is crucial for the number of cups of coffee that can be brewed. The most common sizes include size 1 for 1 to 2 cups, size 2 for 1 to 4 cups and size 4 for 8 to 10 cups of coffee. The right filter size depends not only on the number of cups, but also on the type of coffee maker. The coffee filters for the various coffee makers, such as the hand filter, the Aeropress, the classic coffee machine or the Chemex, differ from one another. For the Aeropress and the Chemex, as well as for some coffee machines, you need special, precisely fitting filters from the manufacturer.

How do I prepare a good filter coffee?

The best filter coffee is still prepared by hand. We recommend grinding your coffee beans with a coffee grinder immediately before brewing. Then put the ground coffee powder into a coffee maker equipped with filter paper. These are available in various materials such as ceramic, plastic or copper. Then simply pour hot water over the coffee powder and wait until your coffee begins to swell. This method is also called blooming. Then continue to add water in circular movements. With a medium grind, your coffee should be ready after 3 to 4 minutes. Our tip: You should use a precision scale to get the optimal ratio of coffee to water.

What is the difference between a bleached and unbleached paper filter?

Not all paper filters are the same: In addition to the type of paper, there is another distinguishing feature, namely the color. The difference is that a white paper filter has been bleached using oxygen, while brown filters are unbleached. But is there a difference in taste? That is something everyone can decide for themselves. Whether the filter is bleached or unbleached should not play a major role in taste. This is probably why many manufacturers offer both versions.

High-quality paper coffee filters

Filter aus Papier mit Wasserausguss aus Kessel in ein Glas

There were already a few coffee houses in Europe at the beginning of the 20th century, but no practical paper coffee filters. Melitta Bentz came up with the idea for this when she wanted to prepare a coffee at home. At that time, the coffee was still filtered with a sieve or hot water was poured over the coffee and you waited until the coffee powder had settled on the ground. Both were not optimal solutions, as there was always coffee grounds in the cup of coffee.

Dresden native Melitta Bentz experimented with a perforated brass cup and used blotting paper from her son's notebook as a filter. This gave birth to the idea for the paper filter and revolutionized coffee preparation. Over the years, the typical conical shape of the coffee filter developed today.

There are a large number of paper filters from different manufacturers on the market today. A good coffee filter consists of fine-pored, tasteless paper made from different materials, which allows the aroma of your coffee beans to fully unfold.
