Is anybody interest for a Eco. friendly coffee filter?
We are going to handle this product.
This is for a home use filter for dripper and coffee machines.
Instead of using a paper filter every time, you can use at 1,000 times! (I mean 1,000 times or more). Made in Denmark, and made by Polypropylene, FDA approved.
Currently sells at Japan, Taiwan and Korea outside of EU.
(700 + tax Japanese yen at shops in Japan).

More info is needed.
There might be some interest, but there are already tons of multiple-use filters on the market. French Press' filters will probably outlast most of their users, vacuum pots have cloth filters (or glass) that last for- more or less- forever if properly maintained... Melitta, SwissGold... there are quite a few. Doesn't mean that there isn't room for more, just saying...

I've been talking with him via email about it.

It's not paper, and it's not metal. I'm not sure what it is, exactly, and I've seen pictures! haha

I'll find out when I get to try it in person.

Yeah, sorry it's not much of an update. I'll keep in touch.

Stewart, are you saying that this is a polypropylene filter. I recall reading about problems with flavor retention with the plastic filter on the Bodum Santos? Does this filter pick up flavors with use?

What would the benefits be over the existing products?
Hi, I don't know about other product, but even we used a paper, we can smells a paper.
This filter used a polypropylene which is same material as a nursing bottle.
Our instruction stated that soak in the 500-1000 cc hot water for about a minute only when using it at the first time. Actually, a polypropylene is scentless, but people used at first time, feel like there is some flavor, but I'm not sure that they actually smell it or not. Since I have not compared with other products yet, I can not comment the benefit over other product, but most of the users and or coffeehouses using this product every day and over 1,000 times some cases. They gentry and carefully wash it after used and they cares well for longer used it.
For my experience, I think this filter makes better taste than paper.
Yeah, I'm under the impression that different plastics have different characteristics in regards to flavor retention.

The question is whether the lipids in coffee are close enough to the molecular structure of polypropylene to form bonds. (that's the issue with the plastic in the Santos, from what I understand)
Hi Jason,
Each peoples taste's is different, so some peoples may dislike it or some like the product.
Bottom line is this filter can be used for more than 1000 pots of coffee, you are protecting the environment, save earth and your wallet as well.

Oh, I wasn't arguing anything, and I'm confident that the gentlement asking questions would come to the same conclusion as I would.

If the "fats" are water soluble, then they are probably not similar enough in molecular structure to make much of a difference.

Yes, Jason, I understand your point and truly appreciate it very much for all comments.
To TRY it is to believe.

Ok. Thanks for the answer.

Agree with Jason, odor retention varies by kind and grade of resin. Thank you for letting us know that this is out there.
