Filter

— in filter coffee makers (also called drip coffee makers), hot water passes through a filter containing ground coffee. Unlike espresso machines, the water doesn't flow under pressure but relies on gravity to move through the system.

Filter coffee brewing, traditionally popular in the USA, has gained popularity in Europe. While the taste and caffeine concentration of filtered coffee may not match that of espresso, its larger serving size compensates for it. A distinguishing feature of filter coffee makers is the inclusion of a coffee jug that typically holds 10 — 12 servings of the brewed drink.
