  • What other metal filters have you tried? There are tons of these and I assumed they were all probably about the same.

    I too am curious how Able Kone, Ovalware, and other similarly priced metal filters compare. Before this, I’ve only tried cheap filters from AliExpress, and whatever came with my french press.

    Are you using a slightly finer grind in switching from paper to this?

    Not sure, I haven’t experimented with paper much. But I use a medium-fine grind.

    I use a gold mesh filter on my drip system and I really like the coffee I get from that.

    What brand?

    I sometimes wonder if I could get away with a more coffee sparing ratio without sacrificing flavor if I used a metal filter on my Chemex (use a 1/13.5 rationwith paper).

    I use a 1:15 - 1:17 ratio. But I have a Hario Switch (clone), so the grounds get a little immersion time too.
