  Café Abi Nasr’s brand for filter coffee is the Western Cup. The “Western Cup” is a medium roasted coffee of distinction, well balanced. The Costa Rican coffee beans in its blend give this distinguished filter coffee its smoothness and enrich it with a delicate full flavor, while the Columbian coffee beans add a well rounded and mellow taste, with a slightly nutty flavor. The Western Cup features everything a great coffee should be to start off a great day.

  The fundamental principle of filter coffee is simple: a basket, usually conical, lined with a porous filter. Finely ground coffee is added to the basket, hot water is then poured, sprayed or dripped on to the coffee and the extract drips through the filter into a container below. Practically speaking, these days there are two different types of filters used in manual or automatic brewers. At Café Abi Nasr we use the automatic brewers. For more information on the filter coffee machines, please check the filter coffee machines’ section

The filter types are paper filters, which can be folded to fit a cone; and "Gold" filters, fine metal or plastic meshes usually built into the cone itself.

Electric filter machines usually consist of a tank with a heating element, a water distribution system, a cone to hold the filter and the coffee, a carafe or jug of some sort to receive the brew and a hotplate to keep it warm. We use two brands of filter coffee machines at Café Abi Nasr: Nuova Simonelli and Bravilor Bonamat

When it comes to the different filter types, paper or mesh, Café Abi Nasr’s preference is always for the mesh type. Paper filters preferentially retain the coffee oils which carry flavor and aroma, and for me this always means that the resulting coffee lacks something. The mesh filters do not hold back anything from the coffee extract, but may produce more sediment depending on how finely the coffee is ground.
