Filter Guide
How different filters affect flow rate, clarity, and cup character.
Hario V60 Paper (01)
Clean, bright, high clarity. Absorbs oils for a lighter body.
01 fits 1–2 cup brews. Rinse before use to remove paper taste.
Hario V60 Paper (02)
Clean, bright, high clarity. Absorbs oils for a lighter body.
02 fits 1–4 cup brews. Most common size for home brewing.
Orea Wave
Balanced clarity and sweetness. Wave shape promotes even extraction.
Good all-round choice for the Orea. Start here if unsure.
Orea Flat Paper + Negotiator
More body and sweetness than Wave. Slower flow = more contact time.
The Negotiator is a flow restrictor. Use a slightly coarser grind vs Wave.
SIBARIST FAST
Very clean and delicate. Fast flow highlights subtle floral and tea-like notes.
Grind finer than Wave to compensate for faster flow.
April Paper Filter
Clean, sweet, balanced. Designed specifically for the April Brewer geometry.
Use only with the April Brewer — geometry won't fit other drippers.
