If you look further into it, I think you'll find that unbleached paper filters recommended as the healthiest option. The downside is of course the coffee doesn't taste as good without as much cafestol and kahweol. Funny 'bout that. Well, I don't feel I need much worry about this; obviously, it would be the least of worries for most members here.

Don't care for the limited amount the portafilter hold. We have the 'machine', French presses & Moka pots, and prefer the cheap A$$ drip funnel ???? why mess about with all that .... paper filters, drips, cleaning etc .... no thanks .... buy an expresso machine ..... 1000 baht .... easy peasy !! hot latte or cappuccino or expresso ...... make whatever you want and no mess ..... easy cleanup .... .

Our coffee machine isn't any easier to clean than the other method. Probably the most 'hassle' to clean and use, as our biggest portafilter is only about 25g. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is a decent Americano @ 1 to 6 coffee/water ratio. Weighed this morning, and a 285g/ml ish yield. Grounds keeping about 65ml. Makes it a 9.5 oz cup for you yanks. Leaves plenty of room in my cup if I want to make it a flat white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I decided I wanted to cut milk/creamers out of my coffee and the only way of doing that was to drink 'fresh' coffee, so I headed down to my local Foodland, picked up the cheapest ground coffee I could find, went to Ikea and got a cafetière(cheaper are available now on Laz/Shopee), and I've never looked back since. I've tried Boncafe, which is nice, I've tried imported African ground, which was disappointing, I've also gone random in Foodland and tried some more expensive ground coffee, but nothing compares to my old faithful - Duang Dee Hill Tribe Coffee It costs B99 for 250g, the flavour is amazing, it may not be the coffee connoisseurs' choice, but it's a million miles away from that instant muck, plus there's zero sachet/pod wastage. So, for a low cost foray into 'fresh' coffee, try this first, you won't be disappointed, not for taste, nor price. Where's this Duang Dee from? link?
