I just became interested in pour-over coffee, after a lifetime of only drinking mokas. While shopping for my first coffee machine, i noticed that there are two kinds of coffee filters: bleached and unbleached, apparently the only difference between them is just the color, but i’m sure there’s something i’m missing.
What should i grab, and why?

Unbleached, but mainly due to growing up with it. There is definitely a difference in taste. It’s also, at least here in Germany, available at practically any store, whereas bleached filters are only available at bigger stores.
The best thing you can do is test this for yourself.
Steep a plain coffee filter in water, taste it, and determine your findings from there. Repeat with each filter candidate
I would imagine the filter itself doesn’t have much of a taste, the differences would be in how they absorb the oil, right? Seems like experimenting with coffee would be pretty essential
