Hand filter coffee: traditional coffee preparation

Making coffee with a hand filter is considered particularly traditional. It is still very popular today because it gives you a lot of control. You can adjust every step of the brewing process and perfect it according to your individual preferences. Be it the temperature of the water, the quality of the coffee beans or the speed of pouring. The water should be 92 to 96 °C when making coffee. If the coffee tastes bitter, then the water was too hot or the coffee grounds were ground too finely. If you prepare your coffee with a filter, then the quality of the coffee beans is crucial. They should be fresh and of good quality; filter coffees are usually light to medium roasts. You can even grind the beans yourself and then use particularly fresh coffee powder.

What do I have to pay attention to if I want to prepare coffee with a hand filter?

If you want to brew filter coffee with a hand filter, the temperature of the water is crucial and the quality of the coffee is also very important. You should pour the water evenly over the coffee powder in circular movements to achieve the best possible extraction. The grind is also important; it should be medium-fine to ensure adequate contact time with the water and achieve a balanced taste.

How do paper filters work?

Coffee from the hand filter is poured through filter paper. This ensures that water and coffee powder are separated. The water absorbs the full aromas of the coffee and offers you an intense taste experience. It is crucial that the coffee filter is of good quality and does not emit any taste or smell.

Which coffee is suitable for preparation in a hand filter?

We recommend that you choose single-origin coffees for preparation in a hand filter. The coffee then comes from only one growing region and you can enjoy its unadulterated flavor profile. Make sure to choose a light to medium roast. This is ideal for hand filter coffee.

What equipment do I need to make coffee from a hand filter?

If you want to brew hand filter coffee, your equipment is crucial. You need a coffee scale, filter paper, a kettle and ideally a coffee grinder. This will allow you to grind fresh coffee grounds and enjoy the full aromas of your coffee. You can buy the equipment you need online from Coffee Annan.
