How fine is the mesh in the bag? I'm looking to make a brewing filter to remove fruit solids so I need it pretty fine.

The mesh is not very fine at most it would filter semisolid pulp for example but that may not be enough for your needs. Try a nylon stocking.

I would guess that tomato seeds would be filtered but anything finer would go through. I would suggest trying a couple of layers of cheese cloth in addition. Might work for you.

Mesh is not fine but contraption is great that you can replace the mesh with something else like nylon stocking

It is as fine as a metal mesh can be. I'm not sure where you live, but you can check it out at any David's Tea in Canada.

It's a pretty good sized filter- basically the whole handle- and very fine. I don't think it will let any particulates through. I've had to pop it out and rinse it a couple of times when I noticed flow decreasing. It's very easy to do.

Yes, the mesh is fine enough to retain raspberry seeds--the challenge will be compressing the puree against the mesh! Maybe a large flat spoon to press the raspberry mixture against the mesh?

This is an extremely fine mesh. It is much like a coffee filter. I imagine that the grounds would be incapable of passing through as small grain cheese does not fall through. What a perfect way to reduce our impact on mama earth! I think I might sew a few filters for my husband.

The coffee maker does include a mesh-sided filter of which you can use. I do not prefer to, just because (for me) it is easier to use the smaller (non-conical shaped) paper filters. I have been known to 'toss' out the mesh one into the trash forgetting that I had used that instead of the other ... Be Aware of which one you are choosing to use that day, if not always! Personally, I prefer the small paper filter liners - Not a Cone Shaped! The coffee is, although, just a bit richer if you do choose the permanent filter as your option. It is because of my mistakes that I am 'safer' with the filters! The coffee maker does include a mesh-sided filter of which you can use.

No, it is not a mesh bag. It is a green colored plastic bag, like a ZipLock, that keeps fruit and produce FRESH for much long that 'regular' storage. I don't have the answer for HOW this happens. The bags come in different sizes.

The bag comes filled with Purigen and it is small (shipping size is 4"x3" so the bag is about that size). Nothing special to the bag so if a small bag loosely filled with fine material will fit into your filter, you will be fine. I actually hang my Purigen at the opening of the filter so the water flows across it. I have another filter and I put the bag on top. You do not want to pack it into the filter because the particles are not coarse enough to allow for water flow. The water will not flow through the material if the bag is tightly packed into your filter.

The factory filter bag is rated for 2 micron nominal. I am not aware of any alternate filter bags as the assembly may not be capable at proper dust/chip removal if you try to go less. The restriction at 1 micron or less may be a problem. Keeping the filter bag clean is easy enough - just tap on the sides when finished. I find the unit does a very adequate job considering the price. If finer filtration is required I would suggest an air cleaner set up with HEPA filtration.

The mesh seems well-connected to the rings, which are one-piece stainless. The handle and hanger(?) are sturdily welded on. Mine have supported the weight of full capacity in wet grapes, so I'd imagine so.

I don't have anyway to measure the holes, but it is a very fine mesh, and holes don't stretch apart under pressure. I use Vitamix at high speed on hazzlenuts, and after filtering, the consistency of the vegan milk is really like dairy milk, with no particles left in the milk. You would probably need to ask the company directly, as my guess is it filters in microns.

I think it is, especially if you put a bag in the pulp collector. Also, I would clean the mesh right after juicing to be sure nothing starts to stick; a brush is included for that.

it's very nice. the strainer middle part also is removable. the holes aren't too big or too small. if there are very fine particles in the liquid the may pass through. i hope this helps.

The "filter" is just a simple Mesh filter that is attached to the Lid that matches the Geometry of the Spout. The Mesh is about the same density as a french press filter, it is only going to be good for filtering out larger particles from your water... but if you are using water that has crap in it... uhh.. you may have other issues :P

Yes, rice will fall through the mesh. It's about 1/8 inch square. You should use the organic cotton muslin bags for grains like rice.

NO. the mesh strainer should be cleaned by hand so your coffee doesn't taste terrible. this is for hand-made coffee. it takes little time to clean the rest of the pot. maybe the top rack. not recommended.

I stopped using filters and pour it through a reusable mesh filter to get rid of what few grounds are in the brew. I've been doing this for a year.
