In our previous article, 「Budget Coffee Filters: Recommended NT$39 Deals at Daiso」, I analyzed how Daiso is a fantastic destination for purchasing everyday pour-over coffee filters at unbeatable prices — well, even though inflation has nudged the price up to NT$49 today!
Naturally, the next logical question arises: when buying cheap filters, can you pick up a dedicated coffee filter storage case at Daiso as well?
The answer to this question is both yes and no.
To begin with, Daiso does not sell an official, purpose-built coffee filter case in the conventional sense. You won’t find those rigid, fan-shaped acrylic holders with swivel wooden lids that you often see on artisanal lifestyle blogs designed to sit pretty on a barista counter.
However, can we discover an ingenious alternative that performs the exact same function?
Following this line of thinking and scouring the household storage aisles in the store, I stumbled across a plastic food container that serves the purpose brilliantly — the exact transparent model pictured in the cover photo. Its interior depth holds roughly 100 cone or basket paper filters, and its length and width accommodate multiple standard filter paper sizes without bending or crimping the edges.
Even better, the lid is made of flexible polyethylene. When snapping the lid shut, gently pressing down on the center expels excess internal air, creating a semi-sealed environment that shields paper filters from humid ambient air and kitchen odors. For just a few coins, it’s a remarkably practical coffee bar hack!
