Just wondering what everybody thinks about filtering the CS after its made? I've heard some say its a definite... some say its not needed... some say that coffee filters leach chemicals into the final product... any thoughts??? White (bleached) coffee filters... brown (unbleached) coffee filters... is one better than the other? TIA, Mike Hi Mike, I found the following by Russ Rosser in the archives: ************** One controversial point about coffee filters regards white paper's contaning dioxins, etc. while brown paper might actually be DYED that way as a deceptive marketing practice. My objection to paper filters is that they are uneccesarily slow conpared to a womens' nylon "knee-high" stocking stretched over the top of a jar. Because agglomeration agglomerates, this technique seems to expeditiously remove all visible residues. --Russ ************** Also, I couldn't find a copy of the post, but a lister (I think it was Trem) suggested a gold coffee filter, no contamination that way. Remember, all you are trying to filter is visible agglomerates, that ugly fuzzy stuff that forms on the cathode. Jack
