Able Reusable Coffee Filter
Number Four — $35
FOUR, Able’s first stainless steel filter designed to work seamlessly with any #4 filter basket, delivers sweet, clean, full-bodied coffee that meets Specialty Coffee Association standards—without the need for paper filters. Carefully engineered for optimal water flow and flavor, FOUR features precision-welded, photo-chemically etched stainless steel, a graduated-density hole pattern, square-to-round holes, and a food-safe polymer support ring. Unlike typical #4 filters with layered metal construction, FOUR’s single-layer design ensures unmatched durability and easy cleaning. Built to last and easy to use, FOUR brings cafe-quality brewing to your kitchen.

Constructed from a single piece of precision-welded, photo chemically etched stainless steel and an injection-molded, food-safe polymer support ring, the Four is built to stand up to the daily demands of the cafe and your home.
The Four brews a full-bodied cup of coffee, rich with oils and flavors normally trapped by paper filtration, and doesn’t impart unwanted flavors. And unlike paper filters, the Four produces no paper waste. Simply rinse and repeat.
Every last detail of the Four has been painstakingly engineered to help you brew a delicious cup of coffee. Its singular design and unique features facilitate an even, controlled flow of water through the coffee grounds for better extraction and consistent flavor.
A quick rinse and occasional scrub keeps the Four in tip-top shape. Unlike other reusable filters made with cloth, mesh, and gimmicky construction, the Number Four’s elegant, single-layer design prevents build up of oils and sediment.
Able’s line of reusable coffee filters are widely celebrated among coffee pros. Able’s first product, the Kone, was designed by coffee veteran Keith Gehrke, and made its debut in 2011 at Coava Coffee’s brew bar in Portland, OR. Able’s reusable filters are now used in homes, cafes and competitions around the world.
