siphon filters

I have been using a yama siphon 5 cup brewer and like the results. The difficulty I am having is keeping the filter clean. Even after soaking in it in really hot water, I feel all of my extractions have the faintest hint of dirty coffee equipment. I learned the first lesson, espresso cleaning powder is not the answer (i prefer a hint of dinge to an obvious flavor of cafiza (or urnex or cafetto). Any experienced siphon brewers with sugeestions?
