coffee can be a healthful drink. It may be even better for you when brewed with a paper filter.

Norwegian researchers gathered health data on 508,747 men and women 20 to 79 years old and followed them for an average of 20 years. The participants also reported the type and quantity of coffee they drank — filtered through paper or brewed using unfiltered methods like French press or espresso.

Drinking filtered coffee was associated with a 15 percent reduction in the risk of dying prematurely from any cause in both men and women. But rates were lower when the coffee was unfiltered: Men who drank unfiltered coffee had a 4 percent reduction, and women a 9 percent reduction.

Unfiltered coffee contains much higher concentrations of cholesterol-raising phytochemicals called diterpenes than does filtered coffee, which may explain at least part of the effect.

The lead author, Aage Tverdal, a senior researcher with the Norwegian Department of Public Health, said that the effect on cardiovascular health is modest compared with that of exercise or weight control, but still significant.

Not the exact same item, but Bodum's 12oz travel version is available on Amazon for $14:

That mesh filter alone only filters out the big grinds, the coffee will be full of sediment. I don't know if they changed the design of the mesh filter but it's like drinking sandy coffee.. lol.

Globally, coffee is the most frequently used central stimulant, and probably the safest.1 It has been in common use for a little more than half a thousand years, and, during that time, has been claimed as a healthy remedy for any disorder (including the plague) and the cause of all evil. More current research is still divided, and the jury has not, for example, decided whether coffee consumption contributes to increased risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD) or not. Observational epidemiological studies assessing the association between coffee consumption and IHD mortality display an array of results. They range from showing no association2–7 to a protective effect,8–10 an increased risk,11–13 and a J-shaped curve.14 Relevant meta-analyses on the same issue have resulted in estimates indicating no increased risk, U-shaped risk curves, or an inverse association.15–20

The heterogeneity in these results indicates that there are population-specific factors that are affecting the possible association between coffee consumption and IHD, and that these factors are unevenly distributed across study populations. One particular factor might be the brewing method – that is, whether the final beverage has passed through a paper filter or not. Unfiltered coffee contains a substantial amount of the low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol, increasing diterpenes kahweol and cafestol that might contribute, at least theoretically, to a higher IHD risk.21,22 Meanwhile, possible protective substances or chemical components in coffee and the uneven distribution of confounders associated with both coffee and IHD should be considered.

Therefore, we studied the association between amount and type of coffee (filtered, unfiltered) and the risk of total, cardiovascular, IHD, and stroke mortality in a large cohort of middle-aged men and women, taking cigarette smoking and ot
