Although it sounds convenient, before choosing a coffee filter cup, you need to clearly understand your needs.

Advantages and disadvantages of coffee smart cups

The advantage of the coffee smart cup is that it has the function of soaking and extracting, which can fully extract the aromatic substances of coffee. At the same time, it can also filter through the filter paper and reverse flow of ribs like other coffee filter cups, so that the coffee flow can pass through the powder layer more evenly and filter out the clean coffee liquid. If you just want to drink coffee with stable quality and full taste, you can choose coffee smart cup.

The disadvantage is that the coffee smart cup does not pay attention to everyone's water injection method, and at the same time, the material extraction of the soaked coffee will be more sufficient, the taste will be very full, but the level will be relatively less rich. If your friends want to practice a variety of hand-brewed coffee techniques and drink more layered coffee, Front Street Coffee recommends that you choose a conical coffee filter cup.
