What are the Different Types of Coffee Filters?
Coffee filters are designed to hold coffee grounds while hot water pours over them and into a coffee pot, thus keeping the grounds out of the finished brew. Coffee filters come in many different varieties. They range from the cheap and disposable to the permanent and expensive. Paper filters are the most widely used type of coffee filters and they have several advantages. Paper filters are easy to find in stores, simple to use and are generally inexpensive. Paper filters do a pretty good job in filtering out the coffee grounds, and can handle both fine and course grinds. Paper filters are also disposable, so people can simply throw them away instead of having to clean them.
