I was just thinking about all the paper waste my pour-over makes as I was making a cup of coffee not twenty minutes ago! I almost spat out my coffee, this is such a smart idea!
I made my own dripper from the top of a 2L pop bottle🤣 Works like a charm. Just cut about 3" off the top. Done. The hole was to big so I screwed the top on and made a smaller hole in the cap 🤓😊
I think this could also work by just cutting a full circle of unbleached cotton muslin with pinking shears. This would eliminate the possibility of coffee grounds passing into the seam and would make the coffee filter a snap to clean. Depending on the handle placement of your pour over unit, you could cut the circle larger and use a rubber band to secure the top edge to the outside of the pour over, eliminating those times when the filter sort of folds in on itself. Thanks for the video!
Thank you! I have been wanting one of these for a long time, and I thought I could sew one, but... Anyway, I came up with a cover for my kombucha jar that I finally sewed up last week, but I didn't want to risk messing this up... Because I fear failure.. 😂 I appreciate you making this tutorial! Very helpful, very well done video!
Great tutorial I'll definitely try this. But I'm not too sure if cotton muslin will keep the coffee from leaking into the cup since I'm in eastern Europe and the they grind the coffee finer than in the US. Since most people here drink coffee like Turks.
i use the permanent filter that came with my coffee maker. problem is pre-ground comes too ground. thank you for this simple instruction. a zigzag or other finishing stitch will also keep the top from fraying.
I've been making filters out of old sheets made from poly and cotton. The filters don't drip fast enough. I'm hoping cotton muslin drips faster. It could be I am asking for too much.... letting water through fast but holding back the grinds? I know there are stainless steel filters but it looks like you have to "baby" the water carefully when pouring it through. PS: Beautiful job on the video.
Thanks! I made my first iteration of this filter from a scrap of poly cotton sheet and the water barely dripped through! I think the weave of the poly cotton is too tight. Linen proved too loose and let fragments through... the muslin was a happy medium lol
Huh? RU saying you tried to use paper? Watch the video again. The filter is made from cotton muslin fabric.... although you can use any fabric that lets water through and leaves the grinds in the filter!!
For this, I used unbleached cotton muslin (I believe it's called calico in some countries). I find any firm, evenly woven unbleached cotton fabric suitable.
Every few days, I wash the filter in hot water in my sink. I find the top edge has frayed a bit after a year, but I keep a few of these in rotation and make sure they're as clean as possible when not in use :)
There are a lot of factors, especially the type of cloth - I found that this cotton muslin was tightly woven enough for a good flow based on my grind size, but it's worth experimenting with different fabrics/ grind sizes to get an optimal flow.
Hello can you please tell me the name of the cloth you used 😀 , because there are many types of 100% cotton clothes and I am confused😑 , So if you could just tell me the accurate name of the cloth , pleaseee pleaseee 🥺🥺
I used unbleached cotton muslin; in some countries it's called calico. Essentially, you'd want a fabric that is 100% cotton, lightweight, and without dyes or colors. This fabric is thin enough that I can see through it. I hope this helps!

Perfect timing! I hope you try making these cloth filters, and if you do, please share them with me on my instagram @pour_la_victoire !!
I literally just went through 8 coffee filters trying to make a cup of coffee. Yes I like my water hot, but 8 filters? Insanity!! I’m done and fed up

Brilliant idea!!

That's a brilliant idea! Thank you for sharing - I have to try that! Maybe a follow up video comparing a seamed and full circle filter?
Awesome, thank you! It totally worked! I can't believe I've never thought about this before! Thank you so much for making this video!

Yay, thank you!
How nice!? Thanks a lot for sharing such a neat project.
Thank you so much for making this video! I'm actually going to use this to make my own reusable coffee
Estoy mirando este video otra vez😊
Exactly what I needed. Thank you!

This is very helpful and informative. Thank you.

What a great idea!
Thanks for sharing.
So glad you enjoyed it!
Thank youu, i hate waste so this really helped me
I'm glad this was helpful for you!
I definitely needed this. Love your videos!
Thank you 😊
Love the idea! ❤️
Thank you! 😊
Thank you exactly what I was looking for. 😍
You’re welcome 😊
I have made a few of these filters now. I even learned how to do a French seam! 😍😍
Very impressive!
Cool 😀
I seen on a million for Juan that he used an old sock and wanted to try
why do you store them in water?

?What type of paper is this
I tried printing paper but it didn't pass water through it
Hi, I used printer paper to create a template and then created the coffee filter from unbleached cotton muslin fabric.
Huh? RU saying you tried to use paper? Watch the video again. The filter is made from cotton muslin fabric.... although you can use any fabric that lets water through and leaves the grinds in the filter!!
What kind of material is best? I literally just went through 8 paper filters to make a cup of coffee. The paper ones from Sam’s club are useless.

1:42 ik that you actually do, but this is (hopefully) a one time thing XD
How many times can you re-use the coffee filter..?
Every few days, I wash the filter in hot water in my sink. I find the top edge has frayed a bit after a year, but I keep a few of these in rotation and make sure they're as clean as possible when not in use :)
What kind of fabric you use?
I used unbleached cotton muslin (sometimes called calico)
Doesn't cloth create more bypass?

I got one but still the coffee water is passing very fast through it , but anyways thank you , let me search some more cottons😀
@@mugdho4035 my coffee water passes through this fabric quickly too! I'm experimenting with adjusting the grind size of the coffee beans.
