No joke – and not just for connoisseurs: The best filter coffee is made by rinsing the filter paper with hot water first to lose the papery taste. If possible, use freshly ground beans (60g per liter) and, in a circular motion, pour over hot water at 197-201F from a gooseneck kettle. For two-and-a-half minutes. This allows the filter coffee to fully develop its wonderful aromas.
