Brewista Essentials paper filters have always been 100% compostable and made from responsibly harvested sources. Our new Smart Brew™ PLA filters take it a step farther and contain absolutely no wood-producing plant content! The lightweight, fine-filament material is made from polylactic acid (PLA), a biopolymer derived completely from the sugars extracted from annually grown plants such as corn.

A smaller version of our Cold Pro™ filters, these PLA filters are made to fit a variety of cold brew systems on the market including:

• Brewista® Cold Pro™ Jr. Cold Brew Brewing System
• The Oxo Good Grips® Cold Brew Coffee Maker
• The Toddy® Cold Brew System
• The Filtron® Cold Water Coffee Concentrate Brewing System, Part Number 30L
