The “spoon” filter bombilla (Filtro de Cuchara) has that classic flat, wide tip, looks just like a spoon with tiny holes or slits to keep the leaves out while you sip.>

Best for: Coarse cut yerba or blends with plenty of stems and big leaves. The spoon shape is perfect for this kind of cut since it keeps the flow smooth and does not clog up.

This was my first bombilla. I used it for my first mate when I was just starting out, it’s got a super simple design that just works.
