While the Weber Workshops BIRD can be used with its included stainless steel mesh for a full-bodied brew, these Abaca Paper Filters are the key to unlocking the delicate floral and fruit notes in your coffee. Manufactured exclusively for Weber by CAFEC in Japan, these filters offer a cleaner, “tea-like” cup profile with zero sediment. If you enjoy light roasts or want to highlight the acidity and complexity of a single-origin bean, swapping the metal mesh for these paper filters is the single biggest upgrade you can make to your daily BIRD workflow. Key Features Premium Abaca Fiber (Manila Hemp) Unlike standard wood-pulp filters which can impart a papery taste or clog easily, Abaca fiber is extremely durable and permeable. This allows for a faster flow rate, letting you grind finer to maximize extraction without “choking” the brewer. Two-Sided Crepe Technology These filters utilize CAFEC’s signature “Wet Crepe” method: Inside (Smooth): The side facing the coffee grounds has a low surface area to prevent fine particles from lodging into the paper, keeping the flow consistent. Outside (Creped): The textured exterior ensures the liquid exits the filter freely without creating a vacuum seal against the metal plate. Effortless Cleanup Beyond the taste benefits, paper filters simplify your post-brew routine. The spent coffee puck stays contained within the paper, allowing you to simply “pop” the entire puck into the compost bin—no rinsing of grounds required. Technical Specifications Material Abaca Fiber (Manila Hemp) / Wood Pulp Blend Quantity 300 Filters per pack Thickness 0.15mm Compatibility Weber Workshops BIRD (All Versions) Made In Japan (by CAFEC) What’s In The Box 1 x Pack of Abaca Paper Filters (300 count) Barista Tip: Always pre-wet the paper filter with hot water before adding coffee. This rinses away any residual dust, heats up the brewing vessel, and ensures the paper adheres perfectly to the bottom of the BIRD pod.
