I've removed the redirect to drip brew; is the usage of coffee filter for drip brew common enough to warrant a dab page? Ambarish | Talk 23:10, 19 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Filter coffee is very common all over the world, arguably until the rise of Starbucks bringing espresso chains it was the most commong form that people would have, especially at home or work. It is not just an Indian term or method of preparation. Paper filters, metal (gold or otherwise) filters, all are very very common everywhere. We need to ensure that this is reflected in the articles on coffee filter, filter coffee and coffee (drink). --VampWillow 08:25, 2004 May 20 (UTC)

All right, maybe we should wait until the discussion on Coffee dies down. Just a doubt, though. Don't Starbucks etc. use coffee percolators or coffee-makers though? Are paper-based coffee filters (essentially a piece of filter paper?) used still? Ambarish | Talk 08:35, 20 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

agree with useing Coffee (drink) to discuss. Starbucks etc use espresso machines (big and look espensive so easier to charge silly prices!) and paper and metal filters in very common use in UK (probably equal with cafetiére, maybe higher) --VampWillow 09:23, 2004 May 20 (UTC)

Is the following in error? I wonder if the original author meant to say "Metal or "nylon" mesh filters do not remove these components." I have never heard of paper mesh filters. From the page: "Paper filters remove oily components called diterpenes; these organic compounds, present in unfiltered coffee, appear to increase the risk of coronary heart disease. Metal or paper mesh filters do not remove these components.[1]" KitINstLOUIS (talk) 17:19, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

this does not make sense: “This enables it to trap the dirt particles that are big and the small water particles can flow through, thus this gives us pure water.” Swoolverton (talk) 00:38, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This article is one of many of the subject of coffee that needs to be expanded[edit]

Looking around the different articles on Coffee brewing and coffee related apparatuses I have found that many seem to be missing at least some notable aspects of that specific subtopic on Coffee. This one on coffee filters is missing the following info which should be added IMO to make the article more complete:

There is not enough info in the article on permanent/non-paper coffee filters. Permanent filters can be made of metal (commonly stainless steel or aluminum) and in some case may be gold-plated. The other type of common permanent filter is cloth coffee filters. We should also include what are commonly viewed as the pro and cons of permanent filters vs paper filters such environmental concerns or taste concerns (permanent metal filters don't filter coffee quit as well as paper and thus effect mouthfeel of coffee which some don't like).
We need to better explain the the three most common different Coffee filter shapes, the cone/conical filter, basket filter, and disk filter (Used by some specialty coffee maker devices like the AeroPress and comes in non-standard sizes specific to the coffee making device it's designed to be used with).
Coffee filters come in different sizes. In North America, the their are two common filter sizes system used, one for basket and one for conical (cone) filters. Conical filters come in sizes #1, #2, #4, and #, with #2 and #4 being the most common. These numbers indicate the filter number of cups and coffee maker type (electric vs non-electric) it's designed for. For example, a #2 cone filter is designed for two to six-cup electric coffee makers and one to two-cup non-electric coffee makers.For basket filters, North American sizes are measured in Junior or regular sizes. While the article does briefly mention the common standardized coffee filter sizes used for conical paper coffee filters, it should included info what these size numbers mean. We also don't have info on standard basket filter sizes (Junior vs regular).
Paper filters come in bleach and unbleached varieties and while the article does mention this it does not explain why this is and what advantage and disadvantageous bleached vs unbleached paper filters have.
Here is an article on "Choosing the right coffee filters" that I used to help me determine what this article is missing on the topic of coffee filters: https://www.roastycoffee.com/coffee-filter/\

Objections?[edit]

I feel that a separate article would be a good idea, because there is more than just listed here, and it would be too long for a section. Does anyone object to disabling the redirect and making it its own article? Sage or something (talk) 23:35, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
