My experience: Coffee + water in container, filter afterwards: good. Coffee in fine-mesh bag in water in container: good, but needs longer brew time or some agitation. Coffee in steel mesh su...

I screen shot 4:31, from a Hong Kong television cooking show. I stumbled this YouTube video only because I'm learning how to cook 象拔蚌 or Geoduck. I don't speak any Chinese. What's Chef Paul Wong do...
