How do I choose the right filter brewing method?

Choosing your gear depends on the kind of flavour profile you’re after and how much you love the ritual. Filter brewing generally falls into two camps: percolation and immersion. Percolation methods like the V60 or Chemex involve water passing through a bed of coffee, giving you high clarity and bright acidity. Immersion methods, such as the AeroPress, steep the grounds in water for a more rounded, balanced cup with a heavier body.

Why does water temperature matter for filter coffee?

To get the best out of your coffee beans, we recommend brewing within the 92°C to 97°C range. Your target temperature is guided by both the roast profile and the coffee processing method. Water that’s too hot can pull out those harsh, bitter notes, while water that’s too cold leaves your brew tasting sour or thin.

The Importance of Grind Size Distribution

The grind size is measured in microns (μm) and is the biggest factor in how fast water flows through your brew device. For most filter methods, you’re looking for a medium-coarse grind between 600 and 1200 microns.

Yes, definitely! Rinsing your filter with hot water before brewing removes any loose paper fibres and that "woody" taste. It also preheats your dripper and server, which is crucial for keeping your brewing temperature stable

A great starting point is 1:16. However, keep in mind that this ratio will vary according to each coffee processing method and the specific brew gear or dripper you’re using. For instance, naturals and experimental lots often have different extraction rates compared to washed coffees. If you’re brewing a single cup for yourself, try 15g of coffee to 250ml of water. You can always customise it to be a bit stronger or lighter once you’ve had a few sips!

Most manual drippers made of ceramic, glass, or high-grade stainless steel will last a lifetime if you look after them. For the AeroPress, the rubber seal on the plunger is a "wear part" that usually needs a refresh every 2–3 years to keep that pneumatic pressure solid.
