@nikolabeacon thank you for your work on this. Made the switch to paper filter this morning and the coffee is so much smoother, not nearly as bitter.
I thought it was interesting information. Yeah its telling .. difference in taste is very noticeable esspecially with high quality fine paper filter.
Excellent explanation, thank you.
Another question: is instant coffee free of these thyroid-altering compounds (the fats, not caffeine), as filtered coffee is??
It seems that in preparation of instant coffee they use similar fast method with pressurized hot water like in espresso. Fast preparation is I think preventing too much diterpenes ending up in coffee brew.

"Diterpenes in instant, drip filtered, and percolated brews were negligible." ". Boiled coffee had the highest diterpene esters content, while filtered and instant brews showed the lowest concentrations"
"High chronic intake of French press coffee or Turkish/Greek coffee could increase serum cholesterol "
You have this papers that actually confirms my explanation and quotes from that previos article that diterpenes and sterols are responsible for this.

Consumption of French-press coffee raises cholesteryl ester transfer protein activity levels before LDL cholesterol in normolipidaemic subjects. - PubMed - NCBI

Interesting that W.F. Koch also was writing that terpenes and sulphides in coffee, some plants and some fruits and fruit skins are harmfull and poisons . He mentioned that They aslo can be removed with oxidation with Chlorophyll and produce "tasteless" cofffee while keeping its stimulating effect from caffeine.
Yeah . With fine quality paper filter you remove almost 100% of all oils. There is around 5-6 grams of pufa per 100 grams of ground coffee. And extracted part in French press or turkish coffee is around 15-20% ..around 1 g pufa per 100g. But I think maybe even if u use metal laser cut reusable filter lot of pufa will stay in the coffee grounds not in coffee brew. This is more about thyroid altering diterpenes and sterols that only Paper filter absorbs almost 100% and even espresso is pretty free of them because of fast preparation method.@nikolabeacon
Are you saying that when using a paper filter drip method, less than .2% of total fat from the ground coffee ends up in the drinkable portion?
So if my coffee is ~15% fat, and I use 100 grams of ground coffee per day then I would get < .03 grams ( or 30 milligrams ) of total fat in my coffee?
