Paper filter

What it is and what sets it apart: Differs from metal: more clarity, less oily body. Weight and bleach/oxygen process matter.

What it’s for and how to use it: Rinse paper → place → brew → dispose. Match shape to method.

Cup impact or benefit: More floral/fruit clarity; less sediment.

Technical notes: Rinse with brew water. Don’t reuse oily papers.

Common mistakes: Skipping rinse then blaming coffee. Wrong size causing bypass.
