Description
Stainless steel coffee filters are suitable for semi-automatic/automatic coffee machines and pour-over coffee. Traditional methods generally use mold stamping, which is rough, has large tolerances, and lacks precision. The stamping process cannot meet the requirements for high-precision filters.
TMN's filters are highly precise and made using chemical etching. The etching process meets the industrial demand for high-precision components. Filters made with this advanced process can have aperture sizes as small as 0.1mm, with vertical, burr-free edges. The flatness is maintained below 0.02mm, with tolerances as tight as +/-0.01mm.

Production of stainless steel coffee filters using photochemical etching
Photochemical etching is used to produce stainless steel coffee filters because it offers high precision and accuracy, resulting in consistent and finely detailed aperture sizes essential for effective filtration.
This process produces smooth, burr-free edges, preserving the integrity and flatness of the material, and allows for versatile and complex designs without expensive tooling.
Additionally, photochemical etching is cost-effective for small to medium production runs, ensuring efficient and scalable manufacturing of high-quality, custom filters that enhance the coffee brewing experience.
Are metal coffee filters safe?
Yes, metal coffee filters, such as those made from stainless steel, are generally safe to use. Here are several reasons why they are considered safe:
1. Material Safety: High-quality metal coffee filters, particularly those made from food-grade stainless steel (like 304 stainless steel), are safe for use with food and beverages. Stainless steel is resistant to rust and corrosion, ensuring it does not leach harmful substances into your coffee.
2. Durability: Metal coffee filters are durable and do not degrade over time as paper filters do. This durability ensures that no degradation products enter your coffee, which could potentially be harmful.
3. Ease of Cleaning: Metal coffee filters are easy to clean and can be sterilized by boiling or using a dishwasher. Proper cleaning ensures that no bacteria or mold can grow on the filter, which could otherwise pose health risks.
4. Environmental Impact: Unlike paper filters, metal coffee filters are reusable, reducing waste and the need for chemical processing associated with paper production.
5. Chemical-Free Brewing: Using a metal coffee filter avoids potential exposure to bleach and other chemicals used in processing paper filters.
While metal coffee filters are safe, there are a few considerations to keep in mind:
- Proper Maintenance: Regular cleaning is necessary to prevent coffee oils from building up, which could affect taste and potentially harbor bacteria.
- Potential Metal Sensitivity: Some people may be sensitive to metals and could experience a reaction. However, this is rare and generally not a concern with high-quality stainless steel.
