Pro tip: pre-rinse your paper filter, even if the bag says no need
I read a barista post last week saying the 'no rinse needed' labels on filters are mostly marketing. Tried it with my usual drip setup and the brew tasted way cleaner, less papery. Took 10 seconds extra before adding grounds, just ran hot water through the basket into my mug to warm it too. Anyone else notice a difference or is it just my tap water being weird?
