FAQ
How do SIBARIST filters influence the taste profile of coffee?
Their fast-flowing structure allows for more even extractions, resulting in greater clarity, sweeter cups, and a silkier mouthfeel. Because the water passes through the bed more uniformly, you’re able to extract more without the bitterness or over-extraction that often comes with finer grinds.
Do SIBARIST filters require adjusting grind size or brewing methods?
Yes. Due to the faster flow rate, we recommend grinding slightly finer than usual to hit your target brew time. This lets you extract more sweetness and complexity while keeping the brew balanced. The structure of the filter also allows for more even extractions across a wide range of coffees.
When using FAST-filters, expect a faster brew time, despite a significantly finer grind. If you reach similar brew times as with regular filters when using FAST, you risk over-extracting your brew.
Does Nordic Brew Lab use SIBARIST Filters behind bar?
Yes, we exclusively use SIBARIST-filters at Nordic Brew Lab, regardless if we're brewing behind bar for the public, or for private coffee tasting-events. We're currently using a mix of B3 and FAST-filters, depending on the coffee served and it's characteristics.
Are SIBARIST filters reusable?
No—they’re single-use filters designed for maximum cleanliness, consistency, and flavor clarity. Reusability isn’t the goal here—the priority is delivering uncompromised brews with minimal paper taste and zero retention from previous brews.
What makes SIBARIST different from regular paper filters?
SIBARIST filters are engineered with FAST Specialty Coffee Filter Paper—a high-porosity, premium paper that offers a faster flow rate, reduced bypass, and cleaner extractions. The result? More clarity, sweetness, and balance in the cup. Unlike traditional filters, they help you reach higher extractions without bitterness or astringency—unlocking more of your coffee’s potential.
Why are SIBARIST filters more expensive than standard filters?
These filters are made from high-end abaca and cellulose fibers, using a specialized manufacturing process in Barcelona, Spain. Their unique structure improves flow, consistency, and cup quality. In short: they’re a performance tool, not just a paper product—designed for brewers who want the best possible flavor outcome.
