The filter screen in the filter press pot can disperse coffee powder in water. When the filter screen is pressed down by the handle, the space in the appliance is compressed. Because the coffee powder particles are coarse, they are trapped by the filter screen and separated from the coffee liquid. The advantage of the filter pot is that it does not filter coffee fat, so it can retain the essence, with a stronger aroma and flavor.
