I'm totally mystified. I've always purchased the natural (buff colored, unbleached) filters because they are of course ... natural! Why add extra processing? And where is all that bleach going out to pollute our rivers and groundwater?
But really? I've inherited a batch of bleached filters and I can't tell the difference between coffee made in one or the other. And does bleaching change anything? I'm not even sure if white isn't the natural color and the "natural" coffee filters may be artificially colored.
I guess I'll keep buying the buff colored filters if there's no good reason to prefer one over the other...
So anybody/everybody, please tell me whether you prefer bleached or unbleached coffee filters, and why?
