Hario Pegasus Flat Bottom Filters

No, these are specifically engineered for the flat-bottom geometry of the Hario Pegasus brewer. Using them in a cone-shaped dripper will result in a poor fit, causing water to bypass the coffee bed and leading to uneven extraction.

Yes, we recommend a quick rinse with hot water before adding your coffee grounds. This removes any residual paper taste and preheats your dripper, which helps maintain a consistent brewing temperature.

Paper filters like these provide a much cleaner, sediment-free cup by trapping the fine coffee oils and micro-particles that metal filters often let through. This results in a brighter, more tea-like clarity that highlights the nuanced notes of your beans.

Yes, these paper filters are biodegradable and can be composted along with your used coffee grounds after brewing.

The flat-bottom design promotes a more even bed of coffee, which is generally more forgiving than cone drippers. You can pour steadily, but because the water flow is managed by the filter's shape, you may find you don't need to be as precise with your pour technique to achieve a balanced extraction.
