Metal filter

Also known as metal filter · mesh filter · filtro metálico reutilizable · filtre métal

What it is and what sets it apart: Differs from paper: denser texture, sometimes sediment.

What it’s for and how to use it: Rinse → brew → wash oils gently. No abrasives that open mesh.

Cup impact or benefit: More body/oily sweetness; fewer consumables; less floral snap.

Technical notes: Mesh microns matter. Dry to avoid smells.

Common mistakes: Blind-comparing to paper without noting the change. Rancid oils left on.
