Gold Coffee Filters: Learn the advantages and why this could be better than the paper coffee filter you've been using.
Gold coffee filters? Yes, that's right, coffee filters made of 23-karat gold. The sound of it could be a little intimidating especially if you've been using the paper coffee filter for your drip coffee machine for years. Paper to gold huh?
We know that one of the first things that came to mind was the price of this permanent coffee filter right? It's not as pricey as you might think as they're priced at around $25 to $35.
All right, it may be a bit high for a filter but we assure you that the advantages are worth every cent you will spend on this - in case you decide to get one for your drip coffee maker.
If you really find them too expensive for a coffee filter then take a look at another option which are the gold tone coffee filters.
They're cheaper since they're not 23-K gold and they're made from stainless steel and is gold plated. They go for around $10-$20.
Here are the advantages of gold coffee filters and why it could be better than the paper coffee filter you've been using.
Longevity - Unlike paper, the gold coffee filter is designed to last for years. If you think about it, you could actually save money by going with gold. With a price range of $10 to $20 for a gold tone coffee filter, around five boxes of paper filter can easily pay for it. Before you know it, you've reached yourROI on this one.
Taste - Ever wondered why your coffee sometimes taste like chlorine? Your water is to blame for some of it but a big part goes to the paper filter because it is bleached. The gold filter, however, doesn't influence the taste of your coffee as it is chemically inert and won't taint. Because of this you get a closer taste of what your coffee beans really should taste like.
Environmental Issues - Ah! Here comes to good part deep inside. By avoiding paper filters, you somehow save the environment. Don't listen if someone tells you that paper filters are recycled. Who wants recycled stuff in their coffee?
Less Mess - Here's the fun part of going gold. When using paper filters, you might have experienced the grounds or water spill out if it is not aligned properly. With gold filters, you won't experience this since it fits nicely in six to 12 cup coffee makers. As for cleaning, all you have to do is just pour the contents out and rinse thoroughly. These filters are also dishwasher safe.
