# Filter Sealing Tools The Filter Presso Secures V60 Paper Filters Before Brewing By Amy Duong | Published 2026-05-09 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/presso References: [yankodesign](https://www.yankodesign.com/2026/05/07/this-little-coffee-tool-fixes-a-v60-problem-you-didnt-know-you-had/)  The Filter Presso by SAQ Design is a precision metal tool made for [Hario](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/v60-neo) V60 [pour-over brewing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/v4). The accessory is designed to press a [paper filter against the dripper walls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stagg-xf-pourover-set) before coffee grounds are added. Its fanlike structure uses angled metal fins set at 60 degrees to match the V60’s cone geometry. This helps seal the filter against the dripper and reduce water bypass, which can happen when the paper lifts away from the walls during brewing. The tool features a tapered handle and spaced fins that allow water to continue moving freely once brewing begins. SAQ Design developed the piece specifically for the V60 rather than adapting it for multiple dripper types. The design went through several 3D-printed iterations, including spiral, coil, disc, and ribbed forms, before reaching the final metal fin arrangement.
