Filter coffee is classed as perculated brew where water passes over the coffee to extract it and usually filter out using a paper filter. This results in a lighter cup of coffee with less oil or residue. Cafetiere is an immersion brew, where the coffee is steeped for a period of time to extract, this usually leads to a fuller bodied cup, with a little bit of oil and silt present in the cup.
