How to drip your coffee
Drip coffee is a popular brewing method that offers several benefits over other methods. Here is a summary of the benefits of drip coffee, along with bullet pointed instructions on how to make it:
- Drip coffee is quick and easy to make, making it a convenient option for people who are short on time in the morning.
- Drip coffee is also versatile, as you can use a wide range of grind sizes and brew ratios to create a variety of flavors and strengths.
- Because drip coffee uses a filter, it produces a clean and clear cup of coffee with minimal sediment or bitterness.
- Drip coffee is also relatively inexpensive, as it requires only basic equipment and a small amount of coffee grounds.
Here are the steps for how to make drip coffee:
- Heat a pot of water to just below boiling, around 195-205 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Grind your coffee beans to a medium-fine consistency. You'll need about 1-2 tablespoons of coffee per 6 ounces of water.
- Place a paper or metal filter in your drip coffee maker and add the ground coffee.
- Pour the hot water over the grounds, making sure to wet all of the coffee evenly.
- Let the coffee brew for about 4-5 minutes, or until it has reached your desired strength.
- Once the coffee is finished brewing, remove the filter and pour the coffee into a mug or carafe. Enjoy!
