Which kind of filter should be selected for hand brewed coffee filtration: filter paper, metal filter, filter cloth comparison

Into the world of hand brewing for a period of time, in addition to looking for knowledge on the Internet to see the film, discuss with friends, is to see some coffee-related books to enrich coffee knowledge, occasionally a chance, a friend asked me whether I will make coffee before the filter paper wet? I replied: Of course, isn't that a necessary step? The result friend replied: he did not wet the filter paper first, so I turned over the book to see, like the ugly duckling barista training center compiled "hand brewed coffee 2 perfect extraction" P.115 is written can not wet the filter paper first,

Collation and full text quote:

Ugly duckling:

Never wet filter paper before brewing coffee.

Mainly because wet filter paper will affect the initial air flow,

Soak coffee particles in water, and once soaked for too long,

Coffee's astringency and undesirable flavor are released.

Generally speaking, hand brewed coffee will have a paper taste,

Mostly due to the use of filter paper exposed to moisture for a long time,

So if you want to avoid the smell of paper in brewed coffee, you can store filter paper in an airtight container and

Remove it when you want to use it to reduce the chance of moisture due to contact with air.

And Mr. Han Huaizong's book "Fine Coffee Learning" P.214 is that filter paper needs to be wetted and washed first,

Han Huaizong:

Many hand brewers pour coffee powder directly into dry filter paper without rinsing the filter paper with hot water.

Start brewing, which will filter impurities and odor with the black coffee drink,

It's unsanitary. For your health, remember that coffee powder must be filtered through hot water 'baptism' after

Put it back in.

Due to the lower temperature of hand brewed coffee, most of them are between 70 ° C and 80 ° C.

So don't forget to warm the pot and the cup. If you're worried about pouring coffee from the bottom pot into the cup,

will lose temperature again, or do not use the bottom pot, directly put the filter cup against the cup to rinse,

This black coffee temperature will be higher, but only if you know the number of milliliters of the cup.

The ugly duckling says:

1. Wet filter paper-> Affects air flow-> Coffee powder soaked in water for a long time-> Coffee has a bad taste

-> Do not wash filter paper

2. Moist filter paper-> paper smell
