I bought these filters because the price was good and the shipping was what I needed. What a waste of money. I wish I had used a coffee filter. I've been making maple syrup for 6 years now and have never had a problem with the filters I bought from a company that specializes in maple syrup supply and the syrup was as clear as can be. Thought to try this. Each vessel had sediment with these filters. I would not recommend this filter to anyone. You would be very disappointed.
