What is a filter coffee?

Filter coffee, also known as a pour and serve coffee, is pre-ground coffee infused with 94c water, to create full-bodied fresh coffee. 

Filter coffee is ideal for office environments as it is simple to use, anyone can make fresh delicious coffee with no training. Not only is it easy to use it is also easy to clean and the coffee can be used as fertilizer or disposed into the organic bin 

1. Place the cone on top of the receptacle, and tuck the paper filter into the cone.
2. Use beans or pre-ground coffee -  If grinding which is ideal as the coffee will be fresher, grind your beans to a reasonably coarse consistency and pour them into the paper filter.
3. Wet the paper 1st so it sticks to the cone receptacle.
4. Slowly pour a little (30ml or so) hot water over your grounds in a circular motion, starting in the centre and moving outwards. It is a great deal easier to pour from something with a spout - of course, there are specially designed pouring jugs for this, but a teapot or lipped jug will do the trick too.
5.  After a minute (the coffee has now 'bloomed'), continue pouring hot water, equally carefully, over the wet grounds, again starting in the middle and circling outwards. Pour until the water feels like it's enough to fill the cup below to a satisfactory level. 
6.  After a minute or two the drips from the cone into your cup will become very slow, and this indicates that the brewing is finished. Remove and bin the filter from the cone and enjoy one of the purest and most full-bodied coffees you will ever taste.

Top tip - Use coffee beans for extra fresh coffee - grind by hand or use an automatic grinder like Eureka Mignon Chrono
