Yama Glass CNT5 Cloth Filters

These filters are specifically engineered for the Yama Glass 5-cup tabletop siphon. While they may fit other brands with similar filter assemblies, we recommend sticking to the manufacturer's specifications to ensure a proper seal and consistent extraction.

With proper care, a single cloth filter can last for several weeks or even months. You will know it is time to replace it when you notice a persistent off-flavor, slow draw-down times, or visible fraying of the fabric.

Immediately after brewing, rinse the filter thoroughly under warm running water to remove coffee oils and grounds. Store the filter in a small container of water in the refrigerator between uses to prevent the cloth from drying out, which can cause it to crack or harbor stale flavors.

Yes, cloth filters allow more of the coffee's natural oils and fine particles to pass through into your cup, resulting in a fuller body and richer mouthfeel than you would get with paper filters. They provide a cleaner cup than metal mesh filters while retaining more character than paper.

No, these are natural, unbleached cloth filters. Because they are untreated, it is a good practice to give them a quick rinse in hot water before your first use to ensure any manufacturing dust is removed.
