The Best Coffee Filters (Review) in 2020

If you’re a fan of disposable paper filters, the Hario V60 is a fantastic choice. Sturdy and cone-shaped to fit most pour-over setups, these filters are incredibly easy to use, even if you’re a complete beginner. The pack comes with 100 unbleached coffee filters, sized 01, which is for 1-2 cups.

It’s a great value for money pack that is sure to last you several weeks, perhaps even months depending on how often you drink coffee. Because the Hario V60 is made from thick, quality paper, the flow rate is perfect and some of the natural oils get through for a full-bodied taste, yet te coffee is smooth with zero grittiness. All in all, the best product if you’re looking for a good pour over coffee filter.

Looking for an affordable reusable coffee filter? Check out GoldTone’s basket-style filter that fits most Mr. Coffee makers and brewers. Made from stainless steel mesh abd BPA-free rigid plastic body, this filter is both budget- and environmentally-friendly as it lasts a very long time (doesn’t increase landfill waste).

It’s also easy to use and clean thanks to its handle and dishwashing safe materials. As a bonus, the product is made in the USA, so if you purchase it, you’ll support the economy. Because there’s no paper, the filter allows plenty of bean oils to seep through, making a rich, flavorful coffee every time. We only wish it fit more coffee makers and brewers!

Specially designed to make the tastiest, most full-bodied cup of coffee, the Perfect Pod EZ-Cup filters are some of the best coffee filters that money can buy. They have a strong burst-resistant design and lid, so they’re mess-free and easy to use. Importantly, they’re also 100% biodegradable, so you can even compost them if you want to – no waste, so perfect for the environment!

The pack comes with 200 filters, and every single one makes a fantastic cup of joe – flavorful, smooth and delicious. We only wish they could be used with any pod (instead of the Perfect Pod only) because they’re that good!

Made of quality paper that is compostable, these cone coffee filters by Melitta fit all 8-12 cup cone-style coffee makers. They have an advanced but practical design – Microfine Flavor Enhancing perforations plus a crimped filter design; together, these ensure the filter is tough and non-bursting and delivers rich yet smooth coffee.

This possible because the micro-perforations allow some of the oils in the coffee blend to pass through. This makes the Melitta filters ideal for the lovers of strong, full-bodied coffee. Mess-free, you can toss the filters along with the used coffee grounds right to your compost.

Simple, cheap and effective, the Connaisseur Rockline coffee filters offer the best bang for your buck. The pack comes with a whopping 700 filters, so it will be a long time before you need another one! All filters are made from white paper that is (chlorine-free) bleached and effective at removing sediment.

Despite being thin, the filters are quite strong and do not slant over on the sides, so they’re mess-free and easy to use. As a bonus, they are compostable. They deliver smooth, flavorful coffee at a very affordable price so there’s really nothing to complain about!

If you want a permanent coffee filter, one that will last you a lifetime, we recommend E-Prance’s stainless steel coffee filter. This pour-over dripper features a honeycomb design with a twill weave method that completely filters grounds and sediment without clogging.

It’s perfect for making a rich yet smooth cup of coffee as some of the oils remain but even the finest of grinds get filtered through. The filter comes with a silicone handle and separate stand, so it’s safe and easy to use even for complete beginners. The product is easy to clean as well because you can rinse it with warm water after use or simply toss it in the dishwasher. As a bonus, the E-Prance is affordable – one of the best coffee filters, for sure!

Reliable, effective and reasonably priced, Chemex is the coffee filter to get if you don’t want to spend too much time exploring the world of filters. This is one of the most popular coffeemaker manufacturers in the world, so you can always trust the brand to deliver quality products, and these coffee filters are no exception.

They’re quite thick and strong (20-30% thicker than the competition, according to the company!), so they won’t burst no matter what. And with a specialty fiber filter design, they keep the grounds, oils and bitter elements out of your cup, delivering a truly smooth, tasty coffee. They come pre-folded for convenience and will fit most cone-shaped filter makers. These are white, oxygen bleached filters, so there’s no paper smell or taste – crucial for a perfect cup of joe!

If you’re looking for simple, affordable paper coffee filters, check out this 300-pack by Rupert & Jeoffrey’s Trading Co. Made from quality paper, white but unbleached, the filters deliver tasty, full-bodied cup of coffee every single time. Importantly, they’re eco-friendly as they’re biodegradable, plus they’re made in the USA, which is always a good thing.

But how are they performing? While thin, filters are quite strong (albeit not 100% burst-proof) and able to remove most oils that accompany coffee blends, so the coffee is always flavorful but never bitter. No grounds or sediment can pass through either, so a nice cup of java is pretty much guaranteed with these filters, whether you’re a seasoned coffee maker or a beginner.

The Yeosen filter is a reusable, durable and efficient coffee filter that is bound to last for decades, even with daily use. It’s made of food-grade stainless steel, so it’s sturdier and longer-lasting (as well as healthier!) than permanent plastic filters.

It preserves natural flavors and oils found in coffee blends, delivering rich, full-bodied coffee that tastes magnificent. It’s also easy to clean as you can just chuck it in the dishwasher, or run it under hot water immediately after use. The Yeosen is high compatible, fits 8-14 cup cone-style coffee makers and #4 pour-over drippers. As a bonus, this metal coffee filter is affordable and environmentally-friendly as it can be used repeatedly.

If you’re after natural, eco-friendly, large coffee filters, definitely check out Bolio’s Organic Hemp Reusable filter. Made from 100% organic unbleached hemp, with a cone-shaped design, this simple and practical filter delivers delicious, aromatic coffee with zero environmental impact.

Hemp is strong, easy to grow, requires very little water, yet makes excellent coffee – so perfect for environmentally conscious folks! The filtration is good as many of the essential oils are retained but no sediment passes through. Furthermore, the filter is also cheap as you can use it hundreds of times with excellent results. As for cleaning, it’s not the easiest but it’s certainly not overly difficult either – all you need to do is rinse the filter thoroughly with hot water after each use and soak it in hot water and soap about once a week.
