CoffeeSock offers cotton coffee filters, so sustainability-minded consumers can enjoy their morning or afternoon cup of Joe, without feeling guilty. A viable alternative for paper filters and nylon sacks, the company's option is extremely durable and could last for a year or more—given that the filters are taken care of properly.
CoffeeSock advertises that its cotton coffee filters "out-perform any comparable disposable and reusable filters." Cotton has proven that is more absorbent, creating a barrier for some of the oils released from coffee beans while permitting acids to pass through seamlessly. In addition, the material also has no impact on flavor.
CoffeeSock makes its product available in two styles: a Basket, made to fit Auto Drop Coffee Makers, and a Cone for drippers.
