Review of Melitta U S A Inc 640007 Perfect Brew Filter Cone

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I like this product. It is inexpensive, has filters that can be found anywhere, and provides real coffee taste in instant coffee quantities and time. This is great for me, because I do not drink more than 1 cup at a time, and making any more would just waste coffee time and money.

This cone allows you to come up with your own perfect brewing recipe without wasting pounds and pounds of coffee. The way the beans are roasted, the quality of those beans, the amount of coffee grounds you use and how they're ground, the temperature of the water: all of these have a bearing on the taste of your coffee.

First, the water:
The industry standard for the ideal cup of coffee begins with a water temperature of 195-205 degrees. This is not quite boiling, which is why the "Monsieur Brew" brands make such bad coffee. Brewing with water at the boiling point over-extracts the beans, making for an overly bitter-tasting result.
Use a food thermometer to find this temperature range and use it with 2 tablespoons of coffee per 8 ounce cup of output as a starting point. Then vary the amount of grounds and water temperature as you see fit.

Now for the grind and blend of your coffee beans:
Melitta recommends that you get a coffee ground a little finer than the standard drip grind. You can easily get this done in one of the better supermarkets that has a coffee grinder for specialty coffees.

As for the blend, I'm not going to recommend brands, but the hallmark of inferior blends of coffee is that they start tasting sharp and nasty as they cool down. If this still happens with your Melitta filter after you've used the right amount of coffee and the right temperature of water, then you can blame it on your daily grind. With this filter you will quickly find which brands are good and which are bad in a matter of cups, not pots.

After this, keeping a couple of brief notes on what you do and how much stuff you use per cup will lead you to the best recipe for your kind of coffee in a relatively short period of time.

Review of Swissgold KF 300 One-Cup Coffee Filter

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is an excellent solution if you like a small-ish (8-10 oz or less) and convenient cup of coffee in the morning.My experience is that no automatic drip maker is really designed to make a good single cup, and while I use a french press on the weekends, cleaning the screen assembly is too much hassle for a weekday morning, as is having to mind the infusion time.So the swissgold one-cup is an excellent compromise.There's no brew time to pay attention to, it's very easy to rinse everything clean under the tap, and you don't have to buy or throw away paper filters!

My only complaint (hence the 4 stars rather than 5) is that the infusion time seems very short -- the cup is usually done brewing in about a minute or less -- and the coffee does lack body as a result.I wonder if the filter might have been designed to slow down brewing a bit more.In any case, I just use a fairly fine grind, like one of the other reviewers here said, and end up with very decent coffee with a minimum of hassle.

Review of Toddy Filters (2-pack)

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Toddy filter is a key component of the Toddy Coldbrew Coffee system. Many people can't believe that a simple thing like coldbrewing your coffee would result in that different a tasting cup of coffee, but it's true! Each time I hand someone a cup of my coldbrewed coffee, I get another convert. Now, it is possible to coldbrew coffee without the Toddy system, but it's a lot messier and time consuming. With Toddy, it's quick, clean and easy. Rather than sit there, filtering a jug of coffee using a regular filter, the Toddy does it for me, making coldbrew something I enjoy year around. It's always in my fridge ready to go. The filters are also reusable, meaning it'sless wasteful. Two filters alone can last you quite a few months!
