So you after buying a new coffee machine look here first

Personally one of the focal reasons I have a weakness for paper coffee filters is that there is no untidiness! Merely shovel up the filter and toss it in the bin.

Unless you are an idiot like me! I once had an old Breville filter coffee machine and (as a student) I tried to save money and I tried to recycle the filters and the brewed coffee! After the grounds were producing rotten coffee (fairly quickly actually), I'd twirl the filter inside out, tip out the remains, twirl it back place it back into the brewer That is until the filter committed suicide and exploded while I was taking it across to the bin!

It must have been a "Eureka" moment for the filter coffee machine in the 18th century, as a sock was used to produce the original cup of filtered coffee. I'm not confident if this is real, but I hate to think if the sock was clean or not! However something must have sparked since it caught on and the filter coffee machine was born. Metal filters came next and after that the paper filters, although more and more filter machines contain plastic reusable filters.

Melitta filters are widely acknowledged and used. They were initially used in the early 1900s by Melitta Benz, who wanted to get around the bitter taste of the coffee. It was a revolutionary instant in the history of coffee as the paper filter was born!

THE SCARAMANGA OF THE FILTER WORLD (bear with me!)

Do you recall the tune from the Bond film 'Goldfinger' - "....He's the man, the man with the golden...." Ok so you got it it. Now swap Goldfinger with "Gold filter, your the one, the one with the golden filter" (this is running through my brain now - what a fool!)

Anyway the thing is you can pick up golden filters - filters with gold inside them!

These are designed to allow the coffee's natural oils into the cup and this then produces a much better taste. But as you may well expect, being gold, they are more pricey. The benefit with gold coffee filters is their durability and they will carry on for quite some time (could have done with these as a student - probably much better off selling them at that time in my life - hey ho).

The paper filter is the most conventional on the marketplace and a few say thay can give out a paper like taste to the coffee. It's a individual thing really, but I think they are fine.

OTHER TYPES OF FILTER

There are as many differing views about coffee as there are variety of coffee flavours and it's no different with filters. Paper, metal or cloth.

Environmentalist will probably be attracted to the cloth option and this will produce accomplished service for several months

Metal clearly costs more but lasts a lengthy time and has first-rate environmental qualities.

Paper traps most of the oils but it is very inexpensive and the mess issue is very low.

That's the splendid thing about coffee. It's all to do with taste - what's yours?I'm a keen coffee lover and love sharing my experiencies.
