...an Italian Innovation.

The filter allows the preparation and serving a cup of infusion or decoction, only using the elegant Inox Neapolitan coffee pot, (without resorting to pots, covers and strainers.)

The filter for infusions and decoctions with the Neapolitan coffee pot is simple to use: Put the cut herbs in the small basket at the one end of the tubular filter.

To prepare an infusion, insert the entire filter into the Neapolitan coffee pot so that the herbs remain at the top, i.e., they are not immersed in the water.

Remove from the heat, turn the infuser/decocter upside down and the boiling water will cover the herbs. Wait for the time it takes to infuse and serve by pouring with the Neapolitan coffee pot.

It is better than using a coffee plunger or french press and very good for roasted barley tea.

For a decoction the filter is placed at the opposite end so that the herbs remain immersed in the water while it is simmered on a low heat for the required length of time.

To serve, simply turn it upside down.

For Italian companies Ilsa, Stella and Martinazzi make the filter in stainless steel to add to their Neapolitan coffee maker.
