Paper filters are a gimmick. They're an ordinary sheet of common
porous paper
shaped like a coffee filter basket and they must be thrown away after
each brewing unless you're
the type who doesn't bathe... and there is no way to reuse them
without a hole forming and grounds getting everywhere. Not re-using
any filter is stupid. Best filters are metal mesh ones washed before
each brewing.
