Why do you need coffee filters to make and drink coffee?

 

There is hardly anyone who does not drink coffee. Such is the taste and flavour a fresh brewing coffee in the morning can pull you out of your bed without any physical assistance. Invention of instant coffee has made people go for it because it is fast to make when you compare with filter coffee, however instant coffee cannot beat the quality, taste and flavour of brewed coffee using coffee filters. However there are three type of coffee filters used in the contemporary world and they are paper, nylon and metal. Coffee connoisseurs still opt for paper filter because it is able to trap the minute particles of coffee grounds thus avoid the mixing of diterpenes a compound capable of raising cholesterol levels in human. According to researchers an unfiltered cup of coffee contains diterpenes 30 times more than filtered coffee.

·         Paper filters are superior to metal and nylon

This being the case it is advised to avoid coffee filters made of metal and nylon. These are designed to filter larger particles and let micro particles flow down to the coffee pot. With Paper coffee filters it is not the case as they have micro sized pores that can easily trap the impurity and enable you to drink coffee which is chemical free.  However it is important to know what kind of paper has been used to make those coffee filters because any paper which is not conforming to the standards of coffee filter paper is likely to disintegrate when you pour hot liquid in them. Unable to bear the heat the paper will disintegrate and lose shape and effectiveness.

·         Check integrity of paper coffee filter before buying

It is important to check the integrity of these paper filters so you are not deceived by the manufacturers who do not buy standardized filter papers to make their coffee filters. Cloth made coffee filters are in use in some parts of the world however they have been found to let in oil in to the coffee pot thus spoiling the taste and flavour.  For top quality paper coffee filters call on the expertise of Lifetree Corporation, Korea, finest Coffee filter exporters in Asia and contact them by phone numbers Tel. : +82-31-997-4703, Fax. : +82-31-997-4708 or send mail to coffeefilters@kakao.com.
