Coffee with depth, fine acidity and a round finish

A cup of filter coffee rarely comes alone

A good cup of coffee, time, peace and quiet. That's all you really need to be happy. Except perhaps a second cup of coffee. The classic of coffee culture is perfect for such moments: filter coffee. As it is not ready at the touch of a button, you need to take a little more time to prepare it. But you can use this time to look forward to a well-earned break from the hectic pace of everyday life.

In Germany in particular, coffee lovers of all ages often opt for filter coffee. After all, around 71% of all Germans own a filter coffee machine. However, this is not only because this coffee is such a wonderful way to relax. Filter coffee makes it very easy to recognize how good a coffee really is. During brewing, it has a particularly long contact time with the water, revealing its true character without being able to hide behind milk foam, syrup and the like. This makes it all the more important, especially with ground coffee, to choose high-quality varieties such as our EILLES KAFFEE Gourmet.

For your own personal coffee break

Hand filter

The classic, manual brewing method for maximum control and a clear, nuanced aroma.

French Press

Strong extraction through direct infusion - full-bodied and intense in taste.

Filter coffee machine

Easy preparation for clear, balanced coffee - ideal for several cups.

Syphon

Vacuum brewing method with a special process - produces a particularly clear, aromatically complex coffee.

Hand filter

The classic preparation with a hand filter:

To prevent the coffee from tasting like paper in the cup, you should rinse the paper filter with a little hot water. This also preheats the pot and protects the delicate aromas of the ground coffee.
Pour in the ground coffee (15 g per 300 ml - a little more or less depending on your taste). If you grind the coffee yourself, choose a medium grind that is similar to a grain of sugar.
First moisten the coffee powder with hot water (92-94 °C) - the coffee will then start to swell and the CO2 it contains can escape. This prevents the coffee from becoming unintentionally acidic and at the same time gives it a more intense taste. The swelling process is also known as "blooming".
Give the blooming about 10-15 seconds before pouring in the rest of the water - in slow circular movements, from the outside in.

French Press

As the ground coffee has longer contact with water in the French press without filter paper, a coarser grind is recommended (comparable to cane sugar). Coffee grounds that are ground too finely would make the coffee too strong, bitter or sour.

Rinse the French press with hot water. Hot coffee does not like it at all when it comes into a cold pot.
Pour the coffee powder (approx. 20 g per 300 ml) into the French press and add a little hot water (90-92 °C). Stir well and leave to swell for 10-15 seconds.
Now you can add the rest of the water in a circular motion. Put the lid on the French press.
After about 4 minutes of brewing time, carefully press the coffee grounds all the way down with the plunger.
For a particularly tasty result, you should enjoy the coffee immediately or pour it into a jug. As the coffee continues to mature in the French press, the second cup always tastes a little stronger.

Filter coffee machine

Do you want to prepare your coffee easily in the filter machine? This makes it particularly tasty:

Fill the filter machine with fresh, cool water. Water with a medium degree of hardness is ideal for this preparation method.
Moisten the coffee filter slightly before using it to remove the paper taste and then add the ground coffee powder. Even though the rule of thumb "one spoon per cup and one for the pot" has been around for a very long time, it still applies today. You can therefore expect 50 g of finely ground coffee for one liter of water.
Switch on the machine and wait until the brewing process is complete - this is when the so-called extraction phases take place. During the three phases, the hot water extracts the water-soluble substances from the ground coffee in the order of their solubility - first the acids, then the aromatic substances and finally the bitter substances. So if you remove a cup before the end of the brewing process, you are drinking coffee that has not yet been able to develop its full aroma - and leaving coffee in the pot that contains too many bitter substances.
As soon as the brewing is finished, you should either drink the coffee immediately or pour it into a thermos flask. If it is left on the hob and continues to heat up, undesirable acids are produced that make the coffee bitter.
