The kettle : It is used to boil water at a specific temperature, and helps to control the flow of water during distillation to achieve optimal flavor extraction.
The dripper : It is the basic tool for preparing drip coffee, in which the filter paper and ground coffee are placed, allowing the water to pass through and the rich flavor to be extracted in a balanced and smooth way.
Filter paper : Placed in the dripper to filter the coffee from oils and sediment, giving you a pure beverage with a smooth and homogeneous taste without any impurities.
