COFFEE ESSENTIALS Filter 5-6 Gal 20" x 8" 250/Pack

COFFEE ESSENTIALS 5–6 Gallon Commercial Coffee Filters (20" x 8", 250/Pack) are heavy-duty, high-capacity basket filters designed explicitly for industrial coffee urns and large dual-station satellite coffee brewers. Distributed through Hotel Depot under SKU# 335220CC, these filters provide the precise structural backbone and micro-filtering precision required to brew enormous batches of coffee flawlessly.

When brewing at a 5 to 6-gallon scale, the physical load inside the basket is massive—often holding several pounds of wet grounds and gallons of boiling water at once. These filters utilize an advanced, extra-thick paper construction with rigid fluted walls. This keeps the filter upright, completely preventing structural collapses, side-wall blowouts, and coffee ground overflow from running down into your server.

Key Features & Operational Benefits

1. Advanced Fluted Design & Structural Integrity

The deep, accordion-like fluted ridges of the paper are carefully pressed to lean flush against commercial brew funnels. This design allows water to distribute uniformly across the large coffee bed, preventing a common flaw called "channeling" (where water aggressively cuts down one path, leading to weak, under-extracted coffee). The 8-inch flat bottom matches high-volume brew baskets perfectly, distributing weight evenly to reduce tearing under peak flow rates.

2. Oxygen-Whitened & Flavor-Neutral Construction

Zero Taste Contamination: The specialty porous paper is completely whitened using an eco-friendly oxygen process rather than chlorine bleach. This guarantees no trace paper odors or chemical residuals leach into signature specialty roasts.

Optimal Flow Rate: The paper's specific porosity acts as a clean filter that lets complex flavor oils pass into the final carafe while efficiently trapping microscopic fine grinds, bitter sediment, and heavy diterpenes (cafestol and kahweol).

3. Food Safety & Kitchen Convenience

PFAS-Free and Safe: Manufactured to strict FDA-compliant standards, checking out as completely non-toxic, safe for hot liquids, and 100% biodegradable in commercial composting facilities.

Moisture-Shield Poly Wrap: The inner bundle of 250 filters arrives sealed in clean, heavy-gauge poly film. This barrier shields the paper from absorbing ambient kitchen steam, airborne cooking oils, or dust while sitting in lower back-of-house storage drawers.
