If you’re in the market for a new coffee filter, you should know all the options available, and their advantages and disadvantages. The most common types of filters you’ll find are those made with chlorine- or oxygen-bleached white paper, unbleached brown paper, or no paper at all (also-called gold filter).
Today, the oxygen-bleached white filters rapidly gaining popularity because they are “friendly” to the environment. Brown filters, although environmentally friendly, tend to leave a faint papery taste in the coffee. Gold filters are actually made of gold-plated steel and are popular because they don’t need to be replaced and don’t filter out the natural oils of the coffee bean, as the paper filters do.
