Filters remove heart-harming cholesterol from coffee, which significantly reduces your risk of dying from cardiovascular disease, a new study finds.
Furthermore, is pour over coffee less acidic?

What is the difference between French press and pour over?
In both methods you are pouring water directly over the coffee grounds and, just like with the French press, you will want to use fresh, filtered water and freshly ground beans. The big difference is that a pour-over kit consists of a carafe and a paper filter, not a mesh strainer like a French press has.
What is the difference between Kalita and V60?
The key difference is in the design, particularly the bottom of the vessels.

The flat, holed bottom of the Kalita allows for more uneven pours and less attention to detail.
What’s so special about pour-over coffee?

Whats the difference between Chemex and Bodum?
