Kalita filter storage

I keep mine in original Kalita boxes with cardboard ring inserts from back when I was buying them in packs of 50 in 2011. I'm surprised Kalita doesn't make a little filter storage stand, because they really do need to be kept compressed to maintain their shape. I have considered making something, but I've been on a V60 kick for a while so it hasn't been a priority.

I store my 155's in a 250ml take-away cup. I like that tea tin though, Tom!

If you buy this $99 Geisha collection from Blue Bottle, you'll have Kalita filter storage containers for you home, office and travel kit

(These are the containers I am using. I think they sold these a couple years ago with some special 90+ offerings.)

If it otherwise would have been tossed out/recycled or something else need to be bought, then I wouldn't consider it free

Do you guys pull from the inside or outside? I've found pulling from the outside deforms the filter less so it's less likely to collapse. With that said, I store them in the box they come in.

They are a bit annoying trying to dig them out and not screw them all up. I swear I spend too much time fixing these things before wetting them than I should. If I could have a Chemex setup at work, I'd donate every other manual brewing device I own.
That being said, I pick them out from the inside.

My two kalita brewers collect dust. I hate those filters with a passion
