Yama Glass CNT5 Cloth Filters

These filters are specifically engineered for the Yama CNT5 Siphon Coffee Maker. While they may fit other models with similar filter assemblies, we recommend sticking to the manufacturer's intended compatibility to ensure a proper seal and consistent brewing results.

After brewing, rinse the filter thoroughly with hot water to remove all coffee grounds and oils. To prevent mold or off-flavors, store the clean, damp filter in a small container of water inside your refrigerator when not in use for extended periods.

With proper cleaning and maintenance, a single cloth filter can be reused many times. You will know it is time to replace it when the cloth becomes permanently stained, develops an off-smell, or shows signs of fraying that could allow grounds to bypass the filter.

Cloth filters allow more of the coffee's natural oils and fine particles to pass through compared to paper filters. This results in a cup with a heavier body, richer mouthfeel, and a more pronounced flavor profile, similar to a French press but with the clarity of a siphon brew.

Yes, it is best practice to boil the new cloth filter in fresh water for a few minutes before its first use. This removes any manufacturing residue and ensures the cloth is fully saturated, which helps prevent it from absorbing coffee oils during your first brew.
