Most people are unaware of the difference between automatic drip and manual drip coffee makers. The difference is extremely simple. While an automatic drip coffee makers automatically pours hot water over coffee grains, a manual one does not, and it is up to you to pour the hot water.
The results are basically the same, and manual drip coffee makers are available in sizes that range from one to twelve cups. Many people feel they get a better tasting cup of coffee when they have the ability to pour the water themselves and choose from a variety of filters and filter holders. The best asset of a manual drip coffee maker is that it doesn't require electricity and it can virtually be used anywhere. This fact alone makes manual drip coffee makers a great choice for camping. Water can easily be boiled on the campground fire or on a portable stove.

The main components of manual drip coffee makers are the pot or cup, a filter, and a filter holder. There are more complicated varieties available but for most of them, this is all you will need. First you set your pot or cup on a counter, set the filter holder on top, add a filter and fill it with ground coffee. At this point all you have to do is to pour boiling water over the filter and grains. It's pretty easy but if you don't know what you are doing or have the proper pot to boil water in, there is a potential to get scalded. Using a teapot or special pot that has a place for pouring is the best way to go as a saucepan isn't designed for pouring water out.
Every manual drip coffee maker has a special filter and filter holder. You have the option to choose between permanent metal filters and disposable paper filters. Many people like the metal filters because they can be used many times and provide the same water flow each time. Paper filters can be more expensive over time, and they provide a different type of water flow depending on the brand one buys. The filter holders come in hundreds of varieties but you usually get one with your manual drip coffee maker. Substituting the holder with a new one can lead to the risk of overflow. Filter holders can be porcelain, plastic, metal, or glass and come in many different sizes.
And of course, you should be particularly mindful about the pot or cup. How much coffee do you want to brew? The single cup version is ideal for people living alone and for anyone struggling with space issues. The 10-12 cup type works best for large families and in households where a lot of coffee is typically drunk; they
