Paper Filter
Paper filter coffee can mean many things, but the method is fairly the same across the board. Brewing this way creates a clean, bright cup with plenty of aroma and clarity. It is a simple method that rewards patience and a steady hand. This filter coffee brewing guide will help you get the most from your beans with a smooth and consistent routine.
If you want to learn more about what a filter coffee is and what brewers use this method - from V60s to Aeropress and everything in between!- please see our filter coffee blog post.
STEP 1
If you’re using a paper filter wet it with hot water to get rid of any residual paper taste. If you’re not make sure you warm the cup and cone with hot water anyway
STEP 2
Hopefully you’re grinding fresh, if not why not? But if you are make sure the consistency is slightly coarser than granulated sugar.
STEP 3
Pour 2 - 3 tablespoons of just off the boil water on to the coffee then allow it to bloom for 10-45 seconds.
STEP 4
Pour the water in to the coffee keeping the water around 1-2cm above the surface of the coffee.
STEP 5
Pour the water in anti clockwise circles until the vessel you are pouring into is nearly full. Wait and allow the last of the water to drip through. This time will vary depending on the type of coffee used and amount of coffee used.
STEP 6
Stir the coffee thoroughly to mix together then sit back & enjoy.
**TOP TIP**
We recommend using around 45 - 55grams of coffee per litre.
