How I brew a 'Drip filter' coffee...
The thick-walled rigidity of my polymer funnel is advantageous as it provides confidence of safety when holding the boiling water. Many alternative designs are available.
Fold the filter paper into quarter segments, so that it can open 'cup-like'.
Once the paper filter 'cup' rests in the filter-body, lightly run water through the process. Hot or cold water can be used.
This paper 'dampening' does not involve coffee. You are merely wetting the filter paper, setting it open for the next stage...
Move your construction on top of a mug/pot/whatever you choose. Put medium ground coffee into the funnel (not coarse, not fine).
Boil a kettle. I use a 'slow-drip kettle' for this, but any device can be learnt to carefully use.
Gently begin to pour some of the boiled water on top of the coffee. Only a little.
As the water sinks through, down into the mug, ensure that you are getting the most out of you coffee. Circle the pouring water around the edge of the coffee. It sinks down the middle, so catch as much taste as you can!
Repeat this step until you have enough coffee.
Finished? Just rest the cone on the previously used glass cup.
Smoooooooooooth coffee :)
