Switched from a metal pour over filter to paper and my coffee stopped tasting like mud
I used a metal cone for 8 months and always had this gritty sludge at the bottom of the cup. Swapped to paper filters last week for $4 and the cup is way cleaner, the flavors actually come through now. Anyone else notice the metal ones let too many fines through, or was it just my grind?

My buddy Dale ran a metal cone for about a year and swore by it until he actually looked at the bottom of his mug one morning. He held it up to the window and you could see a whole layer of silt sitting there like pond scum. Turns out his grinder was putting out a ton of dust and the metal holes just waved it all through. He got a cheap burr grinder and it helped some, but the paper still caught stuff the metal never did. So part of it was his grind, but the filter was the bigger problem. Paper just grabs those tiny bits that metal can't stop, no matter how good your grind is.
