The Truth About V60 Filter Papers

Cupping paper filter with a proper slurp - you made my day! :D

Can you give official tasting notes on those paper filters, I'm done with coffee now

When you start drinking water with paper soaking in it it's time for an intervention.

Why did I just watch a grown man make and taste paper tea?

As a paper conservator I thought I have seen most things you could or would do with paper. The tasting is a new one. A thinner paper can still contain more fibre, or the fibre could be more fibrillated. It would make sense that a 'fluffier' paper would let liquid through more readily than a more compressed, dense, thinner paper.

I never thought I'd find myself enjoying a video about coffee filters but here I am! Really interesting :)

I'm waiting for someone to re-cut this into "10 hours of James Hoffmann tasting and commenting on paper water"

The wave of arm crossings at 3:45 is my favorite part

3:27 all 3 of you adjust your shirt at the same point after rinsing the spoon 😂

Three hoffmen brewing together was surreal. Pleasant, but surreal

This a very interesting video.. here in Indonesia, we got a recommendation from a lot of sources (cafe, social media, community) to use the 40 pcs paper filter box because the 100 pcs in that plastic bag significantly make the flow rates become slower and causing a bitternes in our V60 coffee where we demand for a sweet and pronounced clarity in our cup. Thank you for you experiment video Mr. Hoffmann 🙏

Really enjoyed the editing of the side by brew comparison. Nice work James!

Woah! I love the side by side brew shots. That's incredible. Your consistency shows the difference of the filters (the point of the video). Well executed!

Hey guys here I go: I use number 1 and number 2 filter at my coffee shop. We serve Square Mile, Heart roaster and we have a couple other roaster that come and go. For us their was a big difference between the 2 filter, with a 30 sec average time difference. The thing is some coffee are better with the second version of the filter and other with the 1st version. To make it simple this is what we tasted (personal point of view): lighter coffee like Square Mile filter and Ethiopian coffee tend to taste better with the 2nd version. With the first version almost every coffee from Kenya tasted better. We brew around 10, V60 per day, so we have a sample of over 2 000 since we have the 2 filter. there you have it don't know if this is useful for any one. We can still find the 1st version un 100 pack but they are pretty rare it is probably some left over.

Thanks for the video James.. really thrilled and glad that you are back at it .. looking forward to to your V60 pour over how to video 👌🏼👍🏼

Hi James! Recently I noticed that the papers from the 2nd Japanese factory changed on the inside. They used to be relatively "rough" much like the outside of the filter. However the newer batch I received is very smooth and silky on the inside. After I started using these my brew time also increased with the exact same grind settings on the exact same beans. Just an observation to add :) Thanks for the video

Solid topic choice. Love this. I recently tried a stainless steel 'fabric' type filter, and tried to make it work as I'll be travelling quite a bit, but alas it failed on every grind setting (with minimum fines EK)- which enevitably brought me back to disposable hario paper.

Please do a review on the Melodrip! And your production quality is outstanding, I look forward to your new videos - especially the one on pourovers

Rewatching this, it's interesting to note how his production quality went way up... which is awesome to say because this is already quite good :). He seems more comfortable in front of the camera, less echo in the audio, very fancy intros. And skits with fake mustaches :).

Oh my gosh! I have never heard of rinsing my filter befor using!
