Need advice on filter selection (lemmy.zip)

Hi!

I'm looking for ways to enhance my coffee experience at home and since I'm mostly drinking drip, I figured that after grinder and water, filter has the most impact on taste (if I'm mistaken feel free to offer your advice :).

So I've started looking for suggestions on filters and read good things about Sibarist, Hario Meteor and Cafec T90 but to be honest, I don't know what to look for in a filter, so any help here is much appreciated !

Also, I'm using a cheap cilio ceramic filter rest (see attached picture), so maybe I should get something better for flow?

If the filter can be reused to avoid unnecessary waste it's a nice bonus.

Cheers,

yes the job-doing is roughly the same, but the details do change the performance a little. the exact shape, treatment, and materials of the filters do minorly affect the way they behave in practice. theres a very detailed discussion of this in jonathan gagné's book "the physics of filter coffee"
