Removing paper filters from your life is the first step into enjoying an easier time brewing coffee. Having a titanium filter is another good step and the Ovalware Paperless Titanium Pour Over Coffee Filter is a solid choice. This is designed to fit and excel with various kinds of coffee pots and vessels. The titanium coated stainless steel dripper is carefully engineered to fit most branded coffee carafes including the six, eight, and 10 ounce Chemex Coffee Makers as well as the Hario V60 02 and 03 drippers. The removable BPA-free silicone grip complements wooden or glass Chemex and secures against the glass rim. This has the abilities of dual filter technology, as there is an extremely fine but high quality mesh on the inside and a laser-cut filter on the outside. Because of this, the coffee grounds won’t get through and it won’t absorb any of the coffee’s oils and nutrients. You just need to dump out the coffee grounds after every use and rinse the filter under warm water before it’s ready to use again. Every two weeks or so, assuming you use it consistently, it is recommended that you clean it with distilled white vinegar. Utilizing this filter will save you from purchasing paper filters, putting more money in your pocket.
