Do you know if there was a difference between paper filtered to get rid of certain oils vs non paper filtered for you?

I used to make stovetop percolator coffee so strong, espresso was kinda meh, other than the crema. It wrecked my gut. But paper filtered stuff wasn't as bad so I've since migrated to Aeropress and pour over.

EDIT: Although tea isn't as horrible on the gut, be aware of how strong you're drinking your tea. Certain teas can continue to wreck your gut if it is steeped too strong. Chinese black tea, Assam and English breakfast are like this for me when too strong. Teas with bergamot can also add weird side effects if I consume too much, but this is kinda rare (I use Earl Grey to make strong Hong Kong styled milk tea).

Btw... do any of you aerate? It's an inexpensive way to enhance the flavors of certain teas and coffees.

I like using a double mesh foam frother to rapidly aerate the whole drink before adding anything with only a few quick lifts of the handle. The difference is most prominent when making milk tea, but many aerated coffee are noticeable as well. I learned it from guy who used a venturi aerator on his coffees before serving.

I order from a local roaster who delivers to your house and grind it myself.
