Filter Coffee: Back To The Brewing Basics
Just like musicians and music lovers all over the world have been overjoyed with the resurfacing of vinyl, so too have everyday people and coffee enthusiasts alike begun to appreciate specialty and artisanal coffee again. Artisanal coffee is coffee that is roasted in small batches in micro mills, using coffee beans provided by single-source suppliers from around the world.
Artisanal roasters use cutting-edge micro mills to roast their beans evenly and efficiently so that the distinct flavours of the region can shine through. In doing so, they prevent the scorching, underdevelopment, or overdevelopment of the coffee bean – which is packed with oils and molecules that are often easy to damage during the delicate roasting process. What results is a smooth, rich-tasting coffee with a unique palate.
Part of this appreciation for small-batch-roasted artisanal coffee seems to be the result of an increasingly large movement towards the traditional, simple craft of coffee-making – with less fuss and more attention on the flavour and the brewing process. What’s great about this renewed appreciation for simplicity in brewing is that everyday people get to enjoy the benefits of good coffee no matter where they are or what machinery they have. So long as you have access to quality coffee grounds or beans, you can enjoy a fine brew using simple home equipment.
Filter Coffee: Accessible Equipment
Have you ever taken a look at the cost of a coffee machine in 2024? Whether it’s a Nespresso machine or a proper barista setup, you’ll likely find yourself shocked at the price of the equipment needed to make that perfect cup of coffee that we crave every other day. These machines can really enhance your coffee game, bringing you that much closer to the perfect brew. But for those who aren’t willing to pay quite so much in the name of a good daily cuppa, there are many more budget-friendly alternatives out there.
The humble stove-top Percolator has served campers for years. Meanwhile, bachelors have been brewing the finest drip coffee without fuss and, in pretty much every other household, you’ll find that the French Press has saved many a working man and woman from what would otherwise be an unbearable early morning – not to mention the Siphons, Pour-Overs, clever Drippers, AeroPresses, and even Ibrik coffee pots that have been used for decades as a manual means of preparing the most delectable cups of coffee at home.
Although these methods may seem rather traditional in comparison to the polished sheen and efficiency of an automated, modern coffee maker, they have stood the test of time for a reason. These manual machines act as an extension of the human hand, requiring not much more than some patience, some heat, and some finely-ground, fragrant filter coffee.
For coffee enthusiasts who enjoy a more hands-on, yet paired-down approach to the brewing process, these types of manual methods and tools can be of great use. They are not only affordable, user-friendly, and portable, but also timeless — while barista machines undergo constant renewals and upgrades, items like the Moka Pot and the French Press remain a humble and reliable option for both beginner brewers and coffee fanatics alike.
For example, the French Press (also known as the plunger or the press pot) dates back to 19th century France. The simple design allows one to steep the coffee grounds in water and then separate them again by pressing down on a metal filter. What results is a full-bodied cup of coffee, and an iconic-brewing device that remains a staple in many coffee houses and personal homes purely by virtue of its simplicity and versatility.
Naturally, depending on the method or machine, it’s also important to consider things such as the coffee-to-water ratio, the brewing time, water temperature, and grind size. All of these factors, although seemingly insignificant in the grander scheme, contribute to a stark difference in taste. So, while the methods associated with filtered coffee are quite simple, keep in mind that your care and attention is an important ingredient in the recipe for a perfect brew.
