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.
