xBloomFlat Bottom Premium Filter Paper

I use Xbloom filters in my Kalita wave and Dwell drippers to achieve a faster flow rate and avoid stalled brews.The Xbloom papers are thinner and allow for a faster flow rate on pour over brews.Unlike the Kalita papers that ALWAYS stall and clog, the Xbloom filters are super high quality, don’t require pre-rinsing and never clog.After experiencing faster flow and consistency from Xbloom papers I’ll never go back to Kalita 155’s again. I’m always getting super clean and consistent brews with these papers and highly recommend them to anyone struggling with the filters on their flat bottom brewer.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:good product for my xbloom coffee maker.

The product is exactly as described and works for my xbloom studio, my box did arrive with some damage but no damage to the actual product.

Great filters that are shaped well and most importantly, consistent. These are Kalita 155 size and flow a bit faster than the cheaper knock offs. These are not April Filter tier but they perform better than the standard Kalita 155s.

I actually got these not quite realizing their size but they do manage to fit ok in a regular coffee maker. If you’re only using about 3 tablespoons of coffee none spills out and the water (a little over 12oz) still goes over the beans and drips well through the filter. The filter does fine with the coffee and there is no strange taste or anything in the coffee, so far it tastes the exact same as any other filter. Overall good quality for the amount I’m using it for, I would say though make sure of the size and amount of coffee you’re wanting to use it for.

The filter paper fits perfectly in the omni drippers for the two current xbloom machines (first two). The filter paper is similar to the smaller kalita wave 155 filters. The biggest difference that I can tell is that the creases of the filter are a bit different. The kalita has square looking creases, whereas the xbloom premium filter paper has triangle shaped creases. When used as is, the xbloom filter paper's edge don't touch the wall of the drippers as much because of the filter paper having less surface area touching due to the sharper creases. For me, this difference doesn't exactly matter since I smoosh the paper filter in with a "negotiator" tool, so the filter ends up touch the dripper on all sides. It's actually how the xpods' filter paper look, so the paper filter smashing makes it more consistent with those.The paper filter performs about how I would expect it to for the way I use it, which allows the water to sit in the coffee grounds a bit more. When not smashing the filter, I expect the less side surface area touching the dripper to cause more water bypass to happen resulting in a much lighter brew. Ultimately, the paper filters do the job it needs to do and that is, to keep the grinds out of my drink. It's also priced similarly to the brands.

what can I say about coffee filters it works well thickness is great

I use these filters with my xBloom Studio and they work great. I don't notice any sort of paper taste, even without pre-wetting them and they fit perfectly into the Omni Dripper. The price is also fairly reasonable, so I plan to continue to use these as my main filters for it. They should also work well in anything requiring the small size paper, flat bottom filters.
