Advantages and limitations

Overview
Paper filters in espresso are a newer trick. Placed on top of the puck, a paper disc works like a disposable puck screen: it spreads the water and keeps the group head clean. Placed under the coffee, at the bottom of the basket, many people find it gives a cleaner-tasting shot with less sediment.
They are cheap to try, and IKAPE's pack of 200 comes with a metal case to keep them flat and dry.
Compare with a reusable etched puck screen if you would rather not buy filters regularly.
