The Swissgold filter system was developed as an alternative to the paper filter to get the best tasting coffee. Due to its absorbent properties paper removes all fats from the liquid being filtered, so although a paper filter retains all the coffee grounds it also retains all the brewing colloids (flavour carriers in the coffee). The 23 carat solid gold plating is inert so prevents any tainting of the taste of the coffee.
This superb travel set comprises of a mug, a one cup filter, a measuring spoon and three containers with screw top lids that fit neatly inside the mug when not in use. The mug then fits inside the one cup filter, resulting in a compact unit ideal for travelling.
To make your coffee simply place the one cup filter on top of your mug, put the appropriate number of scoops of medium ground coffee into the gold filter, insert the perforated insert and pour just-off-the-boil water into the filter. The perforated insert means that the water does not come into contact with the coffee in only one place but is evenly distributed over the coffee for maximum flavour extraction.
An ideal gift for the traveller. Most places have free hot water available so simply keep a supply of ground coffee, sugar and powdered milk in the containers and you can have real coffee 24/7. The filter is easily rinsed out under running water.
