What is "filter coffee"?

Filter coffee, also known as drip coffee, is a method of brewing coffee that involves pouring hot water over ground coffee beans placed in a filter, allowing the water to slowly drip through and extract the coffee flavor. This method can be done manually using a pour-over cone or automatic coffee maker. The filter removes the coffee grounds, resulting in a smooth and clean cup of coffee with a consistent taste. The flavor of filter coffee can vary depending on the type of coffee beans used, the grind size, and the water temperature, but it is generally milder and less intense than other brewing methods. Filter coffee is often served black or with a splash of milk or cream.
