About the Drip method
The Drip Coffee brewing method is a simple, easy quick fix. This quintessential filtered-coffee method requires little preparation or time, and with good ingredients, can make a bang-up cup of coffee.
Or, take a more detailed look below at our fanatical Drip Coffee brewing instructions.
The Materials
• Ground coffee • Fresh water • Drip machine • Filter
The Measurements
We recommend 2 TBSP of coffee for every 1 cup of water. For geeks, that’s a coffee-to-water ratio of 55 grams (2 oz) of ground coffee per 1 litre (34 fl oz) of water.
For the bold folks out there, use more. And for the, um, less bold… you get it.
Step 1
ADD COLD, CLEAN, FRESH WATER TO THE MACHINE.
How much water? Well, how much coffee ya wanna drink? (Add that much water.)
Step 2
PLACE THE FILTER IN THE MACHINE.
Step 3
ADD GROUNDS TO THE FILTER.
Step 4
TURN. IT. ON.
Press the button. And fer 5-cents, make sure it’s plugged in.
Step 5
LET IT BREW FOR 4-5 MINUTES.
Read a book about birds. Stretch yo’self.
Step 6
SWIRL THE COFFEE POT.
Step 7
SERVE. SIP. SAVOUR.
Step 8
REPEAT. SHARE. WAKE UP & KICK ASS.
Drip Coffee vs Pour Over
Here’s where Drip Coffee wins… Put water in the machine, add a filter and ground coffee, turn it on, walk away and voila! Pour Over can result in more rich and complex flavours, but will take more time.
