Finally. A freakin' paper coffee filter that doesn't add unwanted paper taste!
Kalita makes three different grades of paper filters, and these are the top of the line (though they've done limited runs of handmade paper filters, but those were silly-expensive). The 'Coffeeshop' line is the cleanest, heaviest paper filter we've ever encountered in the popular "truncated cone" shape.
These are 17% heavier than Melitta and 24% heavier than Filtropa, while still being the cleanest paper filter we've found. Yes, we've been taste-testing coffee filters.
The heavier paper promotes a slower brew-flow, encouraging better extraction and ultimately a sweeter, well-developed brew. The quality of the paper is such that without a pre-rinse, these filters impart less paper-filter taste than most filters WITH a pre-rinse. That said, you should always rinse your filters whenever possible!
Kalita Coffeeshop Paper Filters #103 size (box of 100 or 40)
Same size as Melitta #4. Great for Clever Coffee Dripper, Beehouse, Melitta, Technivorm, and many other manual and auto-drip brewing devices.
