Product Information

For filter coffee, you need a grind size that is more coarse than for espresso because the water needs to make its way through the coffee on its own using gravity (while the water is under pressure with an espresso machine) and “filter” its way through the grounds and into the pot or mug below. What coffee is best for a filter coffee machine? It's just a case of tasting and seeing what works for you. Some people will say that 1:1 is the right dilution, for example a 40ml shot of espresso and 40ml of water, while this would be far too intense for many people to enjoy. Some will add double, triple or quadruple this amount of water – in fact, some coffee shops dilute their Americano far more than this, for example one double shot mixed with 300 – 400ml of hot water. My simple answer to this question is, James Hoffmann's daily coffee machine is a filter coffee machine (the Sage precision brewer, at the time of writing) – if that doesn't make filter coffees valid in 2023, I'm not sure what does.

This isn't a cheap machine, which to be fair it really can't be when you consider the materials used, but these are solidly built machines, so this isn't a machine you might have for just a few machines. I'd think anyone investing in any Moccamaster machine would be buying a filter coffee machine to use for years, decades even. You don’t need to spend that much as there are some really good machines that cost a lot less, but the point is that the fact that someone this knowledgeable about speciality coffee uses (daily) a filter coffee machine shows that they're a very valid coffee brewer. Turkish coffee requires a super fine grind, espresso with traditional machines requires a fine grind, but it’s completely different with each coffee and each machine.

Filter coffee and Americano may look similar, and they can taste similar (this just depends on the filter coffee and Americano you're comparing and how they were produced) but they're different. Americano is made by mixing espresso with hot water, filter coffee is made by filter brewing coffee, and these are two different brew methods, with different results. So as I mentioned earlier, this is called the brewing ratio, the amount of coffee to the amount of water – and a good place to start is around 60 grams (2 ounces) of coffee per one litre (35 fluid ounces) of water. When it comes to bean to cup filter coffee machines, that is, filter coffee machines with an integrated grinder, there aren't all that many options, and from what I've seen, this is probably the one I'd go for, at the time of writing, if I wanted bean to cup filter coffee. Whether you do like filter coffee though, will depend on whether you've experienced filter coffee brewed well, using decent quality coffee. So if you're not sure if you like filter coffee, I'd recommend getting yourself to a speciality coffee shop where they serve filter coffee. If you have a local roastery with a coffee shop attached, this can be a great place to go. Hario V60 is a manual filter coffee brewer, from Japanese manufacturer Hario. It's called V60 because it's v shaped at angles of (approx) 60 degrees. You can get them in a few different sizes to be used with different sized filters for different sized brews, and you can put them on top of single cups or servers/carafes. The 02 size is the most commonly used.

It has a state-of-the-art feel to it, with the display walking you through the process - reminding you to fill the tank when needed, and offering you all the options you need. The Sage Precision Brewer goes beyond simply changing the strength of the brew and offers six brewing modes, including: fast, ‘gold’ which is supposedly the optimum brew, strong, your own customised ‘My Brew’ setting, as well as options for pour over and cold brew. If you literally mean what kind of coffee is best for filter, i.e. what coffee beans work best for filter coffee, and you’re not talking about grind size, then there’s no answer to this, other than: “whatever you find you prefer”. It's just such a clever design, it's very aesthetically pleasing, such a cool looking brewer – and some will say it's the best ever manual filter coffee brewer.This is another low cost filter coffee machine from the German inventors of filter coffee, Melitta. It features the same stronger glass carafe as the Melitta Look V and the calcification warning, but no “aroma selector” which I think is probably a plus, as I don't think it actually does anything. I've seen this kind of comment in the past, on various filter coffee machines that come with one of these filters, and it just comes from a misconception. These reusable filters are there if you need them, or if you choose to use them, but they do result in quite a different taste and mouthfeel. If you're grinding your own coffee (and I'd highly recommend that you do) then you can counter this to at least some degree by changing the grind size, but if you're buying pre-ground then obviously you can't do that. You might think you don't like a particular type of coffee because you tasted it at some point and it wasn't for you. If this is the case, I'd highly recommend just trying that coffee, that you don't think you like, a few times before concluding that this is (or is still) the case. But there are several issues with pre-ground that will stop you from getting the maximum flavour from your coffee.

Filter coffee machines are often overlooked in the UK, when it comes to coffee machines as a whole, they often don't get a look-in behind pod machines and bean to cup coffee machines, but filter coffee machines are a great, inexpensive and simple way to enjoy great quality filter coffee.I would highly recommend that if you get this coffee filter machine, you just use the 20 min keep warm function if you're going to use any. 20 minutes is just about the maximum I think you really want to keep a pot of coffee on a warming plate. The name for this coffee maker does seem a bit odd until you come to learn that it was invented by a Chemist. Peter Schlumbohm invented masses of products, and the Chemex was initially supposed to be a multi-purpose device, which could brew coffee and also be used as a filter device in laboratories, so the “Chemex” name does make more sense in that context. It’s often referred to as drip filter of course because a filter is used and the coffee drips from the filter into the cup or jug. What is the difference between Cafetiere or French Press coffee Vs.

Aeropress was invented by Alan Adler, who invented the Aerobie flying ring, and it's kind of a hybrid brewer. It does filter the coffee, and it does use paper filters (although you can buy metal reusable filters if you prefer) but it's also a full immersion process like cafetiere. A standard UK “builders mug” when filled up to about an inch from the rim, is about 280-300ml. I can't imagine that anyone drinks 125ml cups of filter coffee. I think most people probably drink 200-300ml cups of filter, so being realistic, this will brew enough for 1-5 decent sized cups. The reason for this is that Breville sold the brand name in Europe in the 80s, so the Australian-designed Breville machines can't be sold in the UK under this brand name, hence they're sold under the brand name Sage Appliances, instead.As with the precision brewer, it uses all the water you put in the tank for each brew, so you're using clean fresh water each time (as long as you fill it with clean and fresh water, of course). This doesn't give you control over brew temp or bloom, but the temperature is very stable, and you do have control over the flow rate. The brewing controls are where this machine really shines. Not only in the unique (at the time of writing, at least) level of control this brewer gives you over the important brew variables, but also when it comes to the simple fast buttons where all of these variables have already been optimised for you.
