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,

In my experience the answer is also that there is not much difference. Just get the cheap ones and fill them with hot water first (also to pre-heat the ceramic)

Those type of restricted-flow ceramic filters (I have one too that I use once in a while) are essentially infusion brewers as much as percolation, so you can grind coarser.

You will have much more taste variation from not preheating the brewer beforehand because ceramic is a giant heat sink.
