Drip Brew Guide
Basic pour-over recipe for clean, bright specialty coffee using any dripper.
Drip (pour-over) makes clean, bright coffee. Use any dripper size. Coarse grind highlights origin flavors.
Recipe:
6g coffee per 100ml water (adjust to taste). Water 92-96°C. Total brew ~2:30-3:00.
Best coffee:
Light-roast single-origin with fruity or floral notes. Central/South America or Africa work well.
Recipe:
Prepare dripper:
Place filter in dripper over mug. Pour hot water through to rinse filter and preheat. Discard water.
Add coffee:
Measure coffee. Grind coarse (like sand).
Add to filter.
Level evenly.
Bloom: Zero scale, start timer.
Pour ~1x coffee weight water from center outward to wet all grounds.
Main pour:
At 0:30 min, pour remaining water in steady spiral. Avoid filter walls. Keep water level consistent.
Finish:
Complete pour by 2:30-3:00 min. Let drip fully.
Serve:
Remove filter. Pour immediately.
Notes:
Coarse grind prevents bitterness.
Gooseneck kettle helps control pour.
Dripper material (plastic, ceramic, glass) doesn't change taste much. Match size to batch.
Adjust ratios and timing to match your coffee and taste.
