The Filter is one! 50 things we loved this year, from a sleep mask to the perfect pan

A cartoon dog stands with its arms outstretched and they are balancing several items including a bottle of wine, a plant in a pot, a coffee machine and a pot of skincare

The Filter is turning one. Since we launched a year ago, we’ve run, hiked, camped and swum; we’ve drunk 455 cups of coffee; washed 34 loads of clothes; slept on mattresses for 2,240 hours, and much more, testing a total of 2,040 products – from coffee machines to gin – to bring you the most rigorous, informed and entertaining buying advice.

We’ve even had a decent stab at identifying the preferred lipstick of a global icon. And we’ve helped you consume less – and look after your precious things, from your phone to your wooden kitchen utensils, to make them last longer.
