I've removed the redirect to drip brew; is the usage of coffee filter for drip brew common enough to warrant a dab page? Ambarish | Talk 23:10, 19 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Filter coffee is very common all over the world, arguably until the rise of Starbucks bringing espresso chains it was the most commong form that people would have, especially at home or work. It is not just an Indian term or method of preparation. Paper filters, metal (gold or otherwise) filters, all are very very common everywhere. We need to ensure that this is reflected in the articles on coffee filter, filter coffee and coffee (drink). --VampWillow 08:25, 2004 May 20 (UTC)

All right, maybe we should wait until the discussion on Coffee dies down. Just a doubt, though. Don't Starbucks etc. use coffee percolators or coffee-makers though? Are paper-based coffee filters (essentially a piece of filter paper?) used still? Ambarish | Talk 08:35, 20 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

agree with useing Coffee (drink) to discuss. Starbucks etc use espresso machines (big and look espensive so easier to charge silly prices!) and paper and metal filters in very common use in UK (probably equal with cafetiére, maybe higher) --VampWillow 09:23, 2004 May 20 (UTC)

Is the following in error? I wonder if the original author meant to say "Metal or "nylon" mesh filters do not remove these components." I have never heard of paper mesh filters. From the page: "Paper filters remove oily components called diterpenes; these organic compounds, present in unfiltered coffee, appear to increase the risk of coronary heart disease. Metal or paper mesh filters do not remove these components.[1]" KitINstLOUIS (talk) 17:19, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

this does not make sense: “This enables it to trap the dirt particles that are big and the small water particles can flow through, thus this gives us pure water.” Swoolverton (talk) 00:38, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
