Yama Cold Brew Tower Paper Filters – 6–8 Cup CDM8, 20 Count

These are the round paper filters that sit on top of the coffee grounds in a Yama 6–8 cup CDM8 cold brew tower. Also known as Kyoto filters, they are a small but important part of setting up your cold-drip brew. Each filter measures 2 inches in diameter, and this is the 20-count option.

If you already enjoy watching a slow-drip tower do its thing, these are the replacement papers to keep on hand before your next batch. No complicated upgrade here, just the right filter for the right spot.

What are these filters used for?

A cold-drip tower gradually delivers water onto a bed of ground coffee. The paper disc sits above that bed, helping spread the incoming drips across the surface rather than letting them land directly on one exposed spot.

These are top-of-grounds filters, not a replacement for a separate filter beneath the coffee bed. Knowing where the paper goes matters when you are choosing replacement parts for your tower.

The details that matter

• Compatibility: Yama CDM8 6–8 cup cold brew tower.
• Diameter: 2 inches.
• Material: Paper.
• Quantity: 20 count.
• Placement: On top of the coffee grounds.
• Part reference: CDM8PF.

Will they fit my cold brew tower?

Match your tower's model to the Yama CDM8 before ordering. These are listed for the 6–8 cup tower; do not assume they fit other tower sizes simply because the brewing method looks similar. Check the required filter diameter and placement if you are replacing paper in a different setup.

How to use a top paper filter

Prepare your tower and coffee bed according to the brewer's instructions. Place a fresh paper disc flat on top of the grounds before starting the drip. Keep it seated evenly so the water lands on the paper as intended.

Use your usual coffee dose, grind, and drip settings as a starting point, then adjust based on the finished coffee. A filter helps with water distribution, but it does not replace dialing in the rest of your cold-drip recipe.

Who are these for?

These are for Yama CDM8 owners who need replacement top filters for their regular cold-brew routine. They also make sense to keep nearby if you brew occasionally and would rather have the paper ready when a new bag of beans gives you a reason to set up the tower.

Store the unused filters somewhere clean and dry. Discard the used paper after brewing and clean the tower according to its care instructions. Then you are ready for the next slow-drip experiment.
