How long do these last for? I was going to get a wood neck but am curious how long your meant to use a cloth filter before replacement

Beth H. on Jun 12, 2014

Best Answer: Each filter should typically last at least a few months if used daily. A 3-pack should last about a year if well taken care of. You will start to notice discoloration and the cotton may fray a bit overtime. Filtering with the cloth vs paper filters, you'll notice coffee takes much longer to filter through the cloth - thus providing nice flavorful cups of coffee. Some say that you may notice filtration times to increase as the filter becomes less porous and that could also be an indicator to replace.

Hello,

I do not know the maximal longevity of the cloth filters. I understand that the frequency of use determines the lifespan. Currently, I have been using one 2-3 times per week for nearly two months now and it is still fine.

I have tried several coffee-making techniques although I still consider myself to be a novicer but I believe that the Hario wood neck is capable of brewing an exceptional cup of coffee, smooth yet not robbed of complexity.

I'd recommend switching out every 6 months under heavy use. Rinse with hot water after every use and place in a sealed container with water in the fridge. Never let it dry out or it will stink!

I use one filter for two weeks which is the length of time it takes me to go through a pound of coffee. I simply rinse it out after each use.

Can you use these cloth filters for Hario Drip Pot with the Hario ceramic V60 Coffee Dripper medium size?

A shopper on Sep 21, 2012

Best Answer: I bought mine specifically for use with the hario woodneck system. They are designed for this brewing method and are threaded onto a round wire with a handle that sits atop the carafe.
That being said I tried using one in a V60 dripper and it works ok (it is too awkward with the wire mount). The are challenge, there is a risk of the filter collapsing. The other issue is with cleanup the filter is hot and again, without the wire mount with handle it is difficult to dump grounds. You have to wait until they cool. If you can live with those issues the coffee it produces was not bad.

I clean mine with hot water and a mild soap. Rinse and dry it completely before using again. Occasionally I use oxyclean and a thorough rinse to renew it to its original glory...

Cloth filters would likely slow the extraction time on a ceramic v60. Filters for the v60 are somewhat porous, allowing more lipids and solubles into the cup. Using a cloth filter would maybe create a finer bodied coffee. Since the extraction would be slower, it could be closer to an immersion style - something between a clever and a Chemex is my guess. But finally, I think the cloth filters might be too small for a v60. I don't think I'd use them in this method, but it's possible if you want to get experimental.

If I understand you correctly, you want to use these cloth filters in a V60 cone? It doesn't really work. They are only meant to be used with their woodneck drip pots. But the good news is that an American company manufactures a cotton filter made specifically for V60 cones (two sizes available). I ordered one, and it works perfectly.

This cloth filter is designed specifically for the Woodneck drip pot. For best results I would go with the Hario paper filter. The filters are designed to fit with it's own dripper type to have the perfect contact for best results. Plus the paper filters are inexpensive.

It is designed to have a metal ring with a handle attached to the top and it hangs freely, using it in a v60 would likely result in the whole thing collapsing. You could try it though, the size is about equal to the number 2 v60

Yes, you can use the cloth filters for your Hario, although they seem a bit small. I would recommend the Kone , a metal filter that holds more coffee. For one cup at a time the cloth filter works fine.

They wouldn't work well for that. They're a different shape than the V60. Hario used to make cloth V60 filters, actually maybe they still do but they are hard to find.

The larger of the two sizes of these cloth filters for the Hario Drip Pot do fit the medium, size 2 Hario V60 and can be used successfully.

I don't know, and I'm not willing to waste the coffee to find out. The cloth filter works great when it's not surrounded by anything else.

What is the fiber content? Do these filters work well with Chemex carafes? If so, what size should be ordered?
Thank you.

A shopper on Sep 28, 2015

Best Answer: They are made from flannel cloth. It can be used with a chemex if you'd like. The size depends on the size of your chemex carafe

Will these filters fit properly in a Bonavita Porcelain Immersion Dripper?

John T on Aug 16, 2013

Best Answer: The larger size 480ml Hario Cloth Drip Pot filters fit fairly well in the Bonavita V-Style #2 sized pour over dripper, but unfortunately they are too small for the Bonavita Immersion Dripper, which requires a #4 filter and is a bit too large for the cloth filter.
