Rockline Industries#4 Cone Coffee Filters - Oxygen Cleansed- 400 Count, White, CECOMINOD065352

Great coffee filters at a great price. Can't say much more.

I've been using these exclusively every day for about 3 years and not one has ever failed me. So far, for me, they are flawless (and the price is great).

Well let me tell you, I needed some number 4 cone coffee filters so I decided to order these ones. I'm not really the best coffee maker, I can put the grinds into the filter and you know, add water... So I can't tell the difference between really awesome filters and not so awesome filters. What I can tell you is that these are Oxygen Cleansed! You may be asking what that is and I was too. So I did some research.To make the filters white, you can either use bleach or oxygen. Oxygen cleansed white filters are considered to be of a higher quality than the bleach ones cause who wants to drink coffee that goes through bleach first... Also the oxygen cleansed filters are better for the environment because they break down much easier than those cleansed with bleach. Now you may also wonder why would you want white versus brown paper filters? Well I have three kids so my wife and I drink a lot of coffee and we can tell when a brown filter is used because you do get a slight paper taste to your coffee.So as I digress, these coffee filters work great, I have had no rips, no annoying collapsing (when you end up with a pot of coffee grounds).

Coffee filters can cost a lot. These are very reasonable. I can buy a lot at one time. Don't have to worry about running out for a long time. I like the little cutaway on one side of the tab that makes them easier to open. I received a sample of Melitta filters with my coffeemaker and I do not like them at all. They cost lots more and they are very frustrating when trying to open them up.

This is my third order of these filters, they work well. BUT -On earlier sets one side of the filter had a small tab sticking out, and the other side had a small matching indent. I saw that as a positive feature and It was easy to open the filter to put in the basket. On this set there is a tab sticking out and a matching tab sticking out other side. An extra effort is required to open the filter when both sides match. It generally takes me two or three tries to get it open. A minor thing, but a new annoyance.

So I have been using the #4 brown paper cone filters. I prefer french press, but learned that unfiltered coffee such as from a press or metal/gold filter, raises cholesterol, so paper filters it is. Grrrr ....Then I learned about Oxygen-Cleansed coffee filters. Game changer. Today I used the same coffee, same 200 degree water, same brewing devices, same coffee - the only change was these filters. Talk about a night and day improvement in coffee flavor.And the price is as good or better I believe, than the brown paper filters I had been using.Another reviewer mentioned that these filters are slower than others? I think that is correct, but I also think the coffee brews better going through at a slower rate. I'm not in a hurry here, my goal is amazing coffee. Or as they say, "How do you take your coffee?" "Seriously. I take my coffee very seriously."

These paper filters seem to be just like any other paper filters I have used in the past: Melitta (the gold standard), generic (cheap paper), 'green' paper (unbleached, recycled paper) and of course, these newest ones, Oxygen cleansed. What does this exactly mean? And what exactly will it do for me? Will coffee taste better? I have started using them for the past month or so and it doesn't seem to be any different from others. The paper itself is less thicker than, say, Melitta paper but in the end, a filter, it appears, is a filter. So far, so good. The price is far better than even getting generics at Wal Mart. Honestly, they are pretty good but I can only wonder what oxygen cleansed really means here and what the benefit is. Perhaps it is a gimmick... I don't know. Still... I recommend the filters. Oh... one more thing... up until these filers... I always wondered what the crimps at bottom of the filter was supposed to do. Well, wonder no more... it shows you on its wrapper what to do with the crimps and how much better it will serve you in 'accidents' such as the filter imploding and making a mess.

I got the Ninja coffee bar for Christmas and I was using the gold filter that came with the Ninja. My problem was I had to keep emptying the filter and rinsing it out before I made another mug. These filters fit perfectly and keep the gold filter from needing to constantly be washed out before I make multiple mugs. The filters are strong and I haven't had any rip or leak on me yet, I use 4 scoops of grounds per cup which fills the cone up halfway. And when I make a full pot I use 4-5 large scoops of grounds and that will almost fill the cone but not overflow it. No matter what I put in it, the Cone can handle it! Also I save our grounds to be used in the garden during the spring and summer.When they are put in the Cone Coffee Filters, the grounds can be left to dry out for a day before you add them to a plastic baggie. If you keep putting wet grounds in a baggie they don't dry out in there and they tend to get moldy. If you are composting you can just throw the cone and the grounds right into the compost pile.I used to buy Cone filters in small packs. But this pack is a beautiful 400 count! I own two Ninja coffee makers so they will be used! Plus I have used them to filter homemade stock, these do an awesome job collecting the small bones and fine stuff that you don't want in your finished stock.
