Yama Glass Cloth Filters

Cloth filters allow more of the coffee's natural oils and fine particles to pass through into your cup. This results in a fuller, richer body and a more nuanced flavor profile that paper filters often strip away.

These filters are specifically designed for the Yama CD5 (18oz Sock Pot Brewer), the CD5H handle assembly, and Yama Drip Pots. While they may physically fit other brewers with a 4.5-inch diameter, we recommend using them only with the intended Yama equipment to ensure a proper seal and consistent extraction.

After each use, rinse the filter thoroughly with hot water to remove all coffee grounds and oils. Store the filter in a clean container of water inside your refrigerator between uses to prevent the cloth from drying out or developing off-flavors.

With proper cleaning and storage, a single filter can last for several weeks or even months of daily brewing. You will know it is time to replace it when you notice lingering stale flavors or if the flow rate becomes significantly restricted despite thorough rinsing.

Yes, you should boil new filters in plain water for about 5 to 10 minutes before their first use. This removes any manufacturing residue and ensures the cotton is properly prepped for brewing.
