Filter Coffee FTW A brief introduction to your new favourite thing. Well, my favourite thing at any rate.
Origins
❖ Kaldi, the Ethiopian goat herder!❖ Budan, the Indian Sufi and smuggler!❖ Smuggled by the Dutch into Europe…!❖ …then to Indonesia…!❖ …by de Clieu into the Caribbean…!❖ …and finally into Brazil
Filter vs. Espresso❖ Roasted lighter, to highlight inherent flavours!❖ Coarsely ground (ideally w/ consistent particle size)
for even flow!❖ Brewed in minutes, usually under gravity!❖ Even more caffeine! (lower concentration)!❖ Never drunk with milk!!❖ Fruity, citrusy, floral, sweet, delicate, clean
❖ Roasted darker, for body and bitterness!❖ Finely, inconsistently ground and firmly tamped, to
restrict flow!❖ Brewed in seconds, under pressure!❖ Good amount of caffeine!❖ Often served with milk!❖ Chocolatey, nutty, bitter, berry-like, syrupy, ashy, bold
