Stop tossing coffee filters and make the switch to reusable. These cotton fabric coffee filters are reusable for a year or more, replacing 500+ disposable filters. Each filter is made with Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified organic cotton, meaning the cotton is not only grown without pesticides and less water than conventional, but adheres to strict ethical practices too. If your morning routine starts with "but first, coffee," these zero waste coffee filters are for you.
Size
The Chemex filters come in a pack of two; the Cold Brew filters come in a pack of one.
Materials
Made with 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton. The cold brew filter includes a metal ring closure.
To Use
Each filter box includes detailed instructions for use, but essentially you'll use these reusable filters as you would mainstream paper filters.
Care
When you first receive your filter(s), boil in hot water for 10 minutes to sanitize and preshrink. Allow to dry between uses, and every two weeks or so boil again until water runs clear. (Each filter box includes detailed care instructions.)
Packaging + End of Life
Each filter (or set of 2 filters) come packaged in a cardboard box, which can be recycled with curbside paper recycling. The filters themselves should last at least a year with proper care, but when they reach the end of their life, they can be cut up and home composted. The metal ring on the cold brew filter should first be removed and recycled with metal recycling.
