Are Aji Filters the Best Cloth Coffee Filter?

Who We Are

Here at Aji Coffee Tools we are the proud creators of the Aji Coffee Filter, a high quality cloth filter designed with both taste and sustainability at the forefront of our mission. Aji Filters are crafted from 100% natural, hand-loomed cotton sourced ethically from Bihar, India, our filters are a product of extensive research and a development. In this piece, we'll share our perspective on why we believe Aji Filters stand out as the best cloth filters in the world of pour over coffee brewing.

The Genesis of Aji Filters

Our journey began from a simple mission, creating a durable, reusable coffee filter that doesn't compromise on taste or the environment. After numerous prototypes, we discovered that certain hand-loomed cotton fabrics enhanced the flavours of a wide array of coffee types, catering to various roast styles, coffee varietals, processing and brew methods. Our decision to source our cotton through a Social Enterprise was not just about the quality, contributing to community and development through sustainable practices is so important to us and was necessary to make this project turn into a reality.

The Environmental and Economic Edge

Aji Filters are designed to be reused, significantly cutting down the waste associated with disposable paper filters and improving the lifespan of other cloth coffee filters through design and materials used. Each Aji Filter can replace up to 2,000 paper filters annually. This isn't just good for the planet, it's also great for your wallet in the long run.

Taste and Performance

One of the standout features of Aji Filters is the taste of the coffee they produce. Unlike paper, our cotton does not absorb essential oils and flavors from the coffee. Instead, it allows them to flow directly into your cup, enhancing the richness and complexity of the brew. Our filters are fast-flowing and easy to clean, designed to withstand the rigors of daily use without faltering.

Transparency and Bias

As manufacturers, we acknowledge our bias towards our range of product. However, we're also coffee enthusiasts who have experimented extensively with various materials and designs to perfect our filters. We believe in the superiority of our product not just from a business perspective, but as users ourselves. We encourage you and our customers to read independent reviews and comparisons and to try it out for yourself to make your own informed decisions. We have many cafes and roasters selling our Aji Filters and most of which will be more than happy to brew a coffee using an Aji Filter.

Continuous Improvement

At Aji Filter, innovation is at the heart of what we do. Most recently we developed a universal flat bottom filter that we are calling the Aji Circle Filter, this filter is the first of it’s kind and to date is one of the most versatile coffee filters available. We listened to feedback from our community and always strive to make improvements that enhance both user experience and environmental impact. If you have any feedback or suggestions we would love to hear it here.

Our Ethical Commitment

The cotton used in our Aji Filters is sourced through a social enterprise, meaning the profits go back into building the community in Bihar, India. This not only helps improve the lives of the cotton producers but also ensures that our business supports ethical practices across its supply chain.

We invite you to try Aji Filters not just for their performance, but for their impact on the world and on your morning cup.

We're proud of what we've created and hope you will be too. Brew with Aji and taste the difference!
