Great Brew of Coffee with a Stainless Steel Coffee Filter

For coffee lovers, a new coffee pot is just like getting a new sports car, but smaller in scale. There are those who can be particular in the way they brew their coffee, right down to selecting and grinding their own beans. For them, a basic Mr. Coffee machine or even a Proctor Silex just won't do. Instead, they want something more upscale, preferably from Europe, since they believe that in order to make the best coffee, you need the best coffee maker money can buy. Well, that's not necessarily true.

The quality of a cup of coffee is affected by many factors. It could be due to the type of coffee beans, grind density, water used or the brewing temperature, just to name a few. Something to also consider is the kind of coffee filter used. Most people are satisfied with a simple paper filter, with some even going to extremes in a pinch by using a paper towel or napkin. If you're wondering whether filters do matter, the answer is a resounding yes -- because much too often, a lousy coffee filter will ruin what could be an excellent cup of coffee.

A stainless steel coffee filter is more advantageous to use than a paper coffee filter due to its re-usability. Unless you want grounds present in your coffee, you should never attempt to reuse a paper coffee filter, since it's a disaster waiting to happen. In contrast, the steel mesh of a stainless steel coffee filter is porous enough to allow consistently perfect brewing, which never fails to make the same pot of coffee every time, as long as the grounds are the same.

With a stainless steel coffee filter, you can use it, rinse it, then use it again and again, with an occasional washing using light dish soap; it's the only maintenance needed to provide you constantly good tasting coffee for years. In addition, a stainless steel coffee filter saves time and money because you don't always have to buy and load a paper coffee filter every time you brew.

If you think that stainless steel coffee filters cause the coffee to acquire some kind of metallic taste, think again. The steel does not give a residual flavor effect to the coffee at all. Instead, you get consistently good brewed coffee every time, and to a real coffee connoisseur, that is the most important thing.
