I love how the SIBARIST coffee filter packaging states "EXTRACT YOUR PASSION" under where you open it up, and I know that if you are reading this post, you have a passion for excellent coffee. A couple of the other statements written on the packaging include "Reinvent your recipes, reach new cups and rediscover your coffees". To which I say yes, yes, and yes again! I believe I was one of the first people in the United States to purchase an Etkin 8-cup dripper, but I only recently discovered these filters. They were made to fit the dripper perfectly. The price initially put me off from trying them; they cost about 50 cents (US) per filter, and then you have to fold them yourself. I didn't think they would be worth the cost, and I questioned why I had to fold the filters - couldn't they be packaged pre-formed? After using my first package of filters, I now believe I couldn't have been more wrong. From a practical perspective, sending the filters flat is brilliant because they were made especially for Etkin in Spain. Also, going through this short ritual for my pour-over coffee reminds me of when my mother made coffee; she made a ceremony out of it, and her's was a drip brewer. When I think of the cost of an excellent pour-over at a coffee shop, I can make several cups of coffee using Etkin for less than the cost of a single cup at a coffee shop, so it's cost-effective, too. I love my coffee made with my Etkin 8-cup pour-over and Sibarist filters. Coffee time isn't just "get some caffeine in me" time; now I can taste all those notes listed on every bag of coffee beans. Thanks Etkin, and thanks Sibarist!
