Also, industrial nylon or polyester filter bags, down to 5 microns. These are the same thing as Superbags, but come in more (and finer) mesh sizes, and cost a fraction. Great for anytime a chinois isn't fine enough, but you don't need to actually clarify something. Make sure to get the mesh ones and not the felt ones (you can't clean and reuse the felt).

I've looked into using nylon filter for filtration as an alternative to coffee filters because nylon fabric is relatively cheap and reusable, but currently I have my clarification and filtration projects on hold, so I haven't tried it.

 

@paulraphael How do you clean your filter and why does clarification not work with this kind of filter?
