CoffeeResearch.org Barista Magazine Home Page The Vacuum Brewer FAQ A wide range of filtering devices have (and are) used with vacuum brewers. Muslin, oil cloth, and even old socks and silk were used in the past. Today, we have the benefits of technology to aid us, but still some of the best filters are the old methods. Different types in use today include: Cloth (with ceramic and/or metal shaper and spring): usually a double piece of cloth material - one piece has a coarse, heavy thread makeup, the other piece has more of a felt, fine threading. Metal Mesh: Mostly the Sunbeam CoffeeMasters, models C30B and above used a fine mesh filter. Metal (non mesh): Some believe this is the best filter ever created - the Nicro metal filter. Paper (with plastic and/or metal shaper): The Hario Nouveau vacuum brewer (and other brewers) uses a plastic/paper combination that is effective and fairly efficient. Glass: Cory made their reputation partially on their "Cory Glass Rod" which ironically was originally created for tea brewing, not coffee.
