Filter Coffee Machines

Filter coffee is the simplest way of creating liquid coffee from coffee beans. Hot water is ‘filtered’ through ground coffee beans and the resulting flavoured brew is collected below.

Because gravity does all the work of pulling the water through the layer of grounds and through the filter, this is a time-consuming process. The coarseness of the beans, the porosity of the filter, and the duration of the filtering process determine the strength and character of the coffee.

Here are the best filter coffee machines Singapore coffee-lovers can buy.
