With the papers that came with it you can make 500ml easy as the papers went right to the top but the filtropa's are a bit below the top and also a little narrower so some coffee can get behind the paper if you're not careful. I probably wouldn't be bothered by it if I hadn't used the other papers first.
Maybe try Melitta or Rombouts and see if either are bigger (and report back, lol). I definitely brim my clever dripper using filtropa filters into the danger zone lol.
I'd not heard of the Rombouts ones but they do them at Ocado so I can throw some in with the next shop, seems like technivorm do their own branded versions as well. I'm just gonna end up with a million filters all the same as the filtropa ones aren't I?
I was in asda yesterday and they had the Rombouts so I picked up a pack. They're a fraction smaller than the filtropa but slightly more ridged so they stand up a bit better. Basically no difference for 500ml brews, you're at the edge on both.
