If you still use paper coffee filters – rinse them first...

If you love coffee – and still use paper filters – rinse them out first...

The folks at SeriousEats.com say it’s an essential step in making a really good pot of coffee. Paper filters infuse a slightly woody flavor to your brew. Over time, those wooden nuances build up in the components of your coffee maker and you’ll have paper flavored coffee, like it or not.

Giving your filter the rinse first just takes a moment. Go ahead and put the filter in the basket first, then run a few ounces of hot water through it before scooping in the grinds. You’ll get a cleaner cup of coffee with a bolder bean taste.
