cloudiness vs. coffee filters

[Guest guest]

If you use a coffee filter to filter kombucha (which never really

made difference for me), PLEASE consider using a non-bleached

filter! Remember that kombucha leaches toxins, etc. And heaven

knows *what* chemicals they use to bleach that paper...

I don't worry so much about using a plastic funnel, as the liquid

rolls off the surface quickly. But when you pour the liquid

thru the paper, it wets down the filter immediately. And since

it takes longer for the kombucha to " filter " thru the paper,

that means more time in contact, when the kombucha permeates

the bleached filter. Just a thought, albeit perhaps paranoid!

True True!! I only use organic filters, when i use any at all, I use cheese

cloth tried and true, and since and wash in hot water with no chemicals by hand

i prefer that, but it is less work with plastic.. and i shall buy me one..soon!

just fine!
