Filtered Coffee:
- Drip Coffee: Hot water poured over ground coffee in a filter, with the beverage dripping into a carafe. Very common in the United States, Canada, and Northern Europe.

- Moka: Prepared in a pressure coffee maker that forces boiling water through the ground coffee. Very popular in Italy and Latin America.
