Front Street Coffee today to talk about how to choose hand-washed filter cups?

First, let's look at the filter cup materials.

It can be roughly divided into plastic, ceramic, glass, and metal.

Do different materials make a difference in flavor? Indeed, I have used filters of the same shape and different materials, and the brewed coffee flavor is slightly different, but it does not have a huge impact, so we temporarily do not regard the impact of materials on flavor as the most important consideration.

Flow rate of filter bowl

Another important function of the filter is to control the flow rate! The flow rate determines how and when the water comes into contact with the coffee. Basically, if you want to have a very stable brewing quality, I would recommend choosing a filter with a slower flow rate, because the slow flow rate allows me more time to add water.

Therefore, you can choose a filter with a relatively small hole below, basically 1 to 3 small holes, you can start.

Of course, if you want to use a big hole, I won't stop you ~ it's just that it's very difficult to use and the stability is not easy to control.
