what is the difference between white and brown coffee filters? any difference in taste of the coffee?
the white ones are bleached. The coffee likely won't taste any different, but my preference is always the untreated paper just in case.
Unbleached for me, just because.
I prefer oxygen bleached paper.
non-bleached paper imparts a.. well.. paper taste to the cup.
Rinse well with REALLY hot water before using it to brew.

Unfamilar with this step. You're referring to the paper filter? Curious as to how one would undertake that step (REALLY hot water).
Have gone back and forth between the paper filters/gold swiss filters/paper filters. Currently we use the Melitta Natural Brown filters. We still get some of that "oil slick" in our cups. There might be a flavor difference, but without brewing side-by-side I don't guess it is significant enough to notice.
it will help a bit with any paper taste in your cup.
