Stelton Nohr Coffee Filter

No, the Stelton Nohr is designed as a permanent, reusable filter. Its stainless steel mesh is engineered to catch coffee grounds while allowing oils and flavors to pass through, eliminating the need for paper filters entirely.

Because it doesn't absorb coffee oils like paper does, you will likely notice a fuller, richer body in your cup. It provides a more textured mouthfeel, though you may find a small amount of fine sediment at the bottom of your mug, which is typical for metal-filtered pour-over coffee.

The Nohr filter is designed for standard pour-over setups, but it is best to check the dimensions of your specific dripper or carafe. It works most reliably with brewers that accommodate a standard cone-shaped filter.

Rinse it thoroughly with hot water immediately after each use to remove spent grounds. For a deeper clean, occasionally soak it in a solution of hot water and mild dish soap or a specialized coffee equipment cleaner to remove built-up oils that can affect flavor over time.

Stainless steel is a conductive material, so it is a good practice to pre-rinse the filter with hot water before adding your coffee grounds. This warms up the filter and your brewing vessel, ensuring your coffee stays at the optimal temperature during the extraction process.
