About Coffee Filter Cup

A coffee filter cup is a tool for extracting coffee by placing it inside the filter cup. Typical manufacturers include Melita·Carita·kono·Hario, etc.

Melita

Melita's filter cup has a trapezoidal single hole. With the same amount of extraction and little change in taste, anyone can easily make delicious coffee.

Karita

Carita's filter cup has three holes and is shaped like a trapezoid. Extraction time and taste can be adjusted by pouring speed. Even if one hole is blocked, it can be compensated by the other two holes, so that the particle size of the powder and the dispersion of the baking degree can be adjusted in a balanced manner.

KONO

Kono's filter cup has a large hole, conical in shape. You can adjust the taste according to the amount of hot water and pouring position, and you can change the taste according to the pouring speed.

HARIO

Harriot's filter cup has a large single-hole conical shape. Since the extraction amount can be adjusted according to the amount of hot water, the taste can be changed.

Different filter cups, different tastes

Difference in number of holes

Even though shapes like Melita and Carita are similar, the difference in coffee flavor only appears in the number of holes. Because one hole is hot water with a long residence time and rich in the flavor of extracted coffee, in the case of three holes where hot water drops rapidly, you tend to become easy to drink coffee.

The tip of the KONO and HARIO styling filter paper protrudes from the dripper.

Rib difference

Depending on the manufacturer, the depth and shape of the grooves engraved on the inside of the dripper vary. By having ribs, it is possible to vary the air flow between the filter and the dripper and adjust the speed and quantity of hot water.

It deepens when poured slowly into hot water and becomes crispy when poured. Dripper and filter are used by the same manufacturer, but you can enjoy the characteristics of each manufacturer.
