Filtered coffee is a coffee preparation obtained by passing hot water through ground coffee using a paper, cloth, or metal filter. This method allows for a gentle and uniform extraction of the coffee's soluble compounds, providing a beverage with a clean, balanced flavor that is less intense than espresso.
Filtered coffee originated in Europe in the early 20th century, although similar versions of filtered coffee have been traditionally prepared in various cultures around the world. It is one of the most popular methods for brewing coffee at home and in offices due to its simplicity and capacity to prepare several cups at once.
In terms of properties, filtered coffee contains natural antioxidants, such as chlorogenic acids, which can help improve cardiovascular health and concentration. Furthermore, being a low-fat and low-calorie beverage, it is ideal for those looking for a stimulant without consuming sugars or additives. It is also often easier to digest compared to more concentrated methods due to the lower amount of oils and sediments.
In different Spanish-speaking countries, filtered coffee may have different names or synonyms, such as drip coffee, press coffee (although the latter is more commonly associated with the French press and its specific method), or simply filtered coffee. In some regions, it may also be called strained coffee or coffee prepared with a filter.
