The Drip Coffee method, also known as filter coffee or automatic coffee brewing, is one of the easiest and most reliable ways to make great coffee.
It works by dripping hot water evenly over ground coffee, allowing gravity to pull the brewed liquid through a paper or metal filter.
This process results in a smooth, balanced cup with clean flavors and a pleasant aroma — perfect for everyday coffee lovers.
🧂 Ingredients You’ll Need
- 30–35 g medium-ground coffee
- 500 ml filtered water (about 93°C / 200°F)
🛠️ Equipment
- Drip coffee maker or manual pour-over setup
- Paper or reusable metal filter
- Grinder
- Kettle
- Coffee mug or carafe
👨🍳 Step-by-Step Process
1. Prepare the Filter and Machine
Insert the paper filter into the basket of your drip coffee maker.
If using paper filters, rinse them with hot water to remove any papery taste and to preheat the carafe.
Discard the rinse water.
2. Add the Coffee
Place 30–35 grams of medium-ground coffee into the filter.
This grind should feel like beach sand — not too coarse or fine.
3. Add the Water
Pour filtered water into the machine’s reservoir — about 500 ml for two cups (adjust as needed).
Use fresh, clean water for the best flavor.
4. Start Brewing
Turn on the coffee maker and let the water heat and drip evenly over the grounds.
As the coffee brews, it will fill the carafe below with a rich, aromatic liquid.
The full cycle usually takes 4–6 minutes.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Once the brewing is complete, remove the carafe and pour your freshly brewed coffee into a cup.
Enjoy it black, or add milk and sugar to your taste.
💡 Tips for the Perfect Drip Coffee
- Use freshly ground beans for the best aroma and flavor.
- Keep your coffee-to-water ratio around 1:16 for balance.
- Don’t leave the carafe on the heating plate too long — it can overheat the coffee.
- Clean the coffee maker regularly to avoid bitter aftertastes.
- Experiment with different beans and grind sizes to find your perfect cup.
