The first time I went to Amazon to buy a coffee filter, I did not know that several coffee filter sizes were available.
I thought it is only universal ... or one size fits all.
Forget it. No dice. So, I ended up going back home and looked for the manual that came together with my new coffee maker.
My new heatproof glass is a Japanese
V60 Drip Decanter. Authentic coffee made stylishly. It's also dishwasher safe, and it's all based on the V60 cone shape, all good points, but ... the manual doesn't say a word (well, it's written in Japanese), and you do not know what type, shape, and size of coffee filters to buy.
Except "
buy Hario 02 Filters" (this is the only thing written in English), where "02" means for 1-4 cups, it's only for their paper filters, and ‘Cups’ as defined by the brand are very modest; for reference, from my experience, the
V60-02, which is considered the standard size, can comfortably make 600 ml of coffee, though you’ll get a better coffee if you make 300 to 400 ml.
Anyway, when you are starting to become one of the coffee enthusiasts and wanted to explore, or should I say, level up your coffee experience from instant to brewed, then you need to get covered: by doubts!
I do find the chemistry of
photolithography fascinating and I'd like to buy stainless steel filter with thousand hundred holes of 0.25 mm, but should I use it directly with the decanter, or should I put the filter inside the dripped inside the neck of the decanter? Mumble .... And which size?!?

This time it all started with a coffee filter. Forty minutes. Googling on different online stores, only two coffee filters could fit.
- KINTO SCS Stainless Filter 27624, 2 cups, φ100 x H75 mm: will it fit the dripper?!?
- KINTO SCS Stainless Filter 27625, 4 cups, φ125 × H95 mm: will it fit directly the decanter neck?!?
We will see
