THE BEST FILTER

To make the best brewer, we teamed up with the best paper filter company: SIBARIST. We tested all of the available papers on the market (and even filters not made from paper) to find the best-fit for the Z1. The SIBARIST FAST paper filter shone the brightest, giving us everything we wanted. A fast brew with unparalleled brightness, clarity, and sweetness. We worked hard to find the right ways to make this filter accessible, matching our per-filter price of our traditional paper filters (Wave, Type G) when you buy a bigger pack of filters.

LOWER WASTE

Using the Z1 reduces your paper waste by 7X compared to traditional brewers, due to the massive reduction in paper size. This paper size is also smaller compared to other devices in this category. Additionally, in a zero bypass environment, it's easier to brew at wide ratios, using less coffee to reach tasty cups, which can further reduce your daily impact.

MADE IN THE E.U.

SIBARIST are a small, independent company, just like us. Unlike us though, they're based in sunny Catalonia, near the city of Barcelona. Everything around this paper is sourced from the local region and is manufactured and packed in their factory in Catalonia. We were really impressed by Kim and Lambert's (the founders) dedication to source and support the local community. This de-facto means it cannot be the cheapest filter in the world. But it is the BEST - and that is what our customers deserve as default.

UNIQUE SIZE We'll be honest - at first we tried to design around some existing conventions, either for things like Aeropress or for other zero bypass brewers. Our testing indicated that all these existing conventions were just not good for this format of brewer. We settled on our bed size of 7CM as the best size for the perfect extraction at these doses. While you have to use filters unique to us, it was the BEST choice for the BEST results. We were not willing to compromise.
