There’s nothing quite like that first sip of coffee in the morning to kickstart your day. But what if that experience falls short of expectations? With coffee being comprised of about 98% water, the quality of filtration becomes paramount in delivering a satisfying cup.

Paper filters reign supreme as the go-to choice for filtering cold brew, and for good reason. Versatile, cost-effective, and readily available, paper filters boast a thin mesh that holds the coffee grounds while allowing water to pass through. It’s a simple yet effective solution—but there’s more to the story.

One might assume that with the coarse grind size typically used in cold brew, paper filters would have no trouble preventing grounds from slipping through. However, the reality is more nuanced. As coffee beans are ground, they produce fines and dust, which can clog the mesh of the filter, compromising its efficacy.

The presence of coffee fines in your brew may seem innocuous, but it can have a noticeable impact on the texture of the final drink. Picture the difference between a smooth, clean-textured coffee and one marred by fine particles. The latter can result in an unpleasant mouthfeel, detracting from the overall enjoyment of the beverage.

At Manic Brews, we recognize the importance of filtration in the brewing process and take it seriously. We go the extra mile to ensure that our paper filters are up to the task, meticulously selecting those with fine enough mesh to capture coffee fines while allowing water to flow freely. It’s a small yet crucial detail that contributes to the exceptional quality of our cold brew.

So, the next time you savor a cup of Manic Brews cold brew, know that behind every sip lies a commitment to excellence in filtration—a commitment that elevates your coffee experience to new heights.
