Does the type of filter I use make any difference?
Use quality coffee filters
Use "oxygen bleached" coffee filters. Not only do regular chlorine type filters pose a risk to the environment, they don't make for as good a result in the cup. I wouldn't recommend using brown filters...they tend to add a "cardboardy" taste to the coffee. "Gold" permanent coffee filters are strongly favored by many coffee aficionados.
