Tip 1: People with cholesterol problem should drink filtered coffee
Most coffee drinkers know that paper coffee filters eliminate unwanted sediments while letting through the essential elements of great coffee flavor. But what most people don't know is that paper coffee filters also filters out harmful coffee oils, which can raise cholesterol levels. Studies in The Netherlands have proven that, when coffee is filtered through a paper filter, these oils remain trapped in the filter. Percolated or unfiltered coffee does not eliminate these by-products which end up in the coffee cup. So it is important that coffee lovers who have cholesterol problems always drink filtered coffee!

Tip 2: Never reuse a paper coffee filter
It is not a good idea to reuse a paper coffee filter. The fats and oils that are trapped in the paper will effect both the filter performance and the coffee flavor. Use a fresh filter for every pot you brew.

Tip 3: Use a clean coffeemaker
When you brew a pot of coffee make sure that your coffeemaker is clean. Hard water leaves sediments that can affect taste. Clean and rinse your coffeemaker after each use and use a descaler at least once a month.
