filter coffee

Paper-strained morning drink

Filter coffee is coffee made by pouring hot water over ground beans held in a paper or mesh filter, allowing the liquid to drip through into a pot or cup below.

The term distinguishes this brewing method from espresso, French press, or instant coffee.

In British English especially, it refers to the drip coffee Americans consider standard: I'll just have a filter coffee.
