I own a french press (bodum) as back-up version. My husband used the kitchen paper towel method quite often as university student (no time for shopping filterbags / other hobbies) so it is proofed.Kikinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-41216862309739728522011-01-17T08:17:46.939+09:002011-01-17T08:17:46.939+09:00Kiki: Yes, it should never be let dry, and I forg...Kiki: Yes, it should never be let dry, and I forgot to mention another caution: Change water regularly, say, once per day. This won't be a problem if you are a daily drinker of coffee.<br />There are other cautions as well, such as avoid using dish soap or detergent when washing it.<br /><br />I think that most Japanese drink instant coffee at home. Some use electric coffee machines (without a grinder). But, there are some coffee geeks who prefer other brewing methods. Nel dripping is one of them.<br />Here is one good article about coffee brewing in Japan, if you are interested:<br />http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/fg20100326d1.html<br /><br />I have tried a paper oil filter, but the resultant coffee tasted bad. I guess a kitchen towel will work better.Hiroyukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075672590298671343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-79098222076671787822011-01-17T05:37:10.752+09:002011-01-17T05:37:10.752+09:00So the filter is stored in water through it's ...So the filter is stored in water through it's lifecycle? Is this sanitaric (molding?)? Never seen this kind of filter for coffee before (and we are a coffee drinker nation, at home we use an automatic coffee machine: grinding, brewing all in one, no need for filter bags). While runnig out of filterbags a paper kitchen towel /tissue works fine too.Kikinoreply@blogger.com
