With a filter coffee machine, you fill a coffee filter with ground coffee. Typically, one full tablespoon of ground coffee is enough for a regular cup of black coffee. If you prefer a stronger brew, you can add another half tablespoon. Want to brew a full pot of filter coffee for 5 to 6 cups? You'll need about 5 tablespoons of ground coffee and 1 litre of water. Place the filled filter into the coffee machine, and hot water will flow through the coffee grounds. The water absorbs the flavours and aromas of the coffee. The freshly brewed coffee is then collected in a coffee pot. A filter coffee machine is especially convenient when you need to make coffee for multiple people at once.
Among all types of coffee, filter coffee is considered the healthiest. The filter traps cafestol and other substances that can raise LDL cholesterol. High levels of LDL cholesterol increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
