Now, there's been loving talk online about various different filters out there.

I thought I would just do a quick video to explain exactly what the differences are with three different types of E 60 field sister concurrently by all Harry.

Oh, brand.

We're gonna brew them, see if there's any real difference, is there?

Maybe taste them, too.

That'll make sense of promise.

So right now, there are three different types of filters that you can buy.

You can get the boxed filters right, which are typically available only in forties.

For the bleached filters, You can still get hundreds of the, um bleached.

These are the original Wright.

These the ones made by the original factory in Japan.

Not so long ago, these came out kind of loud, crinkly pouch.

So these are the kind of loose packed filters.

These are also made in Japan, but in a different factory there, in a new factory.

So thes are have been around for a little while.

Most recently you've seen these.

This is a shrink wrapped type of packs of 100.

Now these are actually made in Europe that made in the Netherlands.

So these are the kind of newest filters out there, and they're all a little bit different.

So let's look in a little bit more detail into how they're different.

It's open them up.

Okay, so there's three filters and they do feel really quite different, Which is interesting theory.

Journal filter has no tab.

The other two have little convenience tabs to help you open and separate the filter out.

The original does not have that.

The most recent ones, the ones from Europe, also have V 60 d bost on the now is a paper.

They feel really different to the other two, which feels a little closer in texture.

The original feels softer, almost as a texture on.

It looks reasonably similar to the other Japanese paper, but the new one definitely looks a lot different.

So what I want to do, really is the first test is I'm gonna brew each filter, same conditions we're going to.

A really simple poor of a technique is gonna be a stirred bloom.

And they were gonna get the water in as quickly as possible.

A stir for the draw down on.

That's it just so we can see the influence and impact of the paper on brew time, which I think is gonna be really, really interesting.

Different thicknesses of paper.

They're gonna swell different ways.

There's five, is it?

I could have added a little bit of resistance to the brew.

Potentially.

I don't know exactly how they gonna brew, but it should be an interesting little test.

So I'm gonna break 30 grams to 500 of water, and I will just do that three times and see the difference.

Two minutes.

20.

We'll call that donut to 35 three.

The next part of the test that I wanted to do was try and understand if the papers were bringing any kind of taste to play in the cup of coffee.

Now everyone rinses.

Their papers bore it least I hope they do.

But I thought it would be fun to do a quick experiment.

Years ago, I wrote a piece for a magazine called Long Bury, where I tasted a whole host of different filter papers.

All I did was this.

I steeped them in hot water and then tasted the results, and it was really surprising how different they were So that's exactly what I've done here with the three papers with the original Japanese paper with the other the second Japanese factory and then the Dutch factory over here.

So I'm kind of curious.

Just a taste.

He's been sitting for about 10 minutes, infusing now whether there's any difference.

So, you know, wish me luck.

It's kind of a little bit sweet.

Kind of reminds me a little bit off.

Um, like chewing a pencil, that kind of taste.

Not surprisingly, scare for this one.

No different.

Really different.

Not a pleasant actually, but less And they kind of slightly artificial sweet, Much more kind of much more kind of just straight cardboard here.

Flavor, I guess a little bit.

But really actually, no, really very neutral.

Actually believed, you know, really very little flavor coming out of this.

Oh, Oh, that is very different.

That is no, not entirely unpleasant.

It's bleach filter, after all, but it definitely has a much more, uh, distinct taste.

Kind of almost tiny bit can chemically kmet leathery, almost really, really drastically different.

Okay, let's wrap this all up into some results.

Coming into this, I've heard people having very, very very different experiences, quite dramatically different brews with the different papers.

And so it was interesting to do a test to verify that.

Now, you know, I don't think the two papers from Japan brood dramatically different.

You know, there was a small variance in time, but not something you would really be worrying about.

A great deal may be worrying about changing a grand setting.

Four.

And they were both pretty neutral tasting the papers here.

They did brew pretty differently, like really, surprisingly differently to me, especially because this felt like a thinner piece of paper not like, say, a chemical filter, which feels really, really thick.

This felt quite the opposite.

Quite thin.

I wonder whether it swells more dramatically in contact with water, just providing that little bit of extra resistance.

I don't really necessarily understand why it's doing what it's doing, but it's definitely definitely notable, and it does taste a little bit different.

Their original filters air only available right now in packs off 40 and that does mean that you're gonna pay a premium.

If you really do want the original filters there definitely available.

They're out there, but you are gonna pay more, and I'm not necessarily sure that they're worth that much more.

Then the other filters that you can quite easily get that I made in Japan.

I'm not saying you should avoid the papers made in Holland.

Maybe you like them.

Maybe they brew better for you.

I'm not saying that one is dramatically better than the other, but certainly if you're having issues with this paper, it might be worth tracking down one off these two.

So for sure, really?

Definitely pretty interesting.

Quite surprising.

I would really love to hear your feedback.

Have you been brewing with any of these different papers?

If you had wildly different results to the ones that I've had into pretty simple testing here today, let me know your thoughts on the calmest and below.

As always.

Thank you so much for watching.
