Drip Coffee Guide

Basic pour-over recipe for clean, bright specialty coffee with any dripper.

1 min read

Drip (pour-over) makes a clean, bright cup. Works with any size dripper. A coarse grind highlights the origin's flavours.

Recipe:

6 g of coffee per 100 ml of water (adjust to taste). Water at 92-96°C. Total brew time: ~2:30-3:00 min.

Best coffee:

Light-roast single-origin with fruity or floral notes. Central/South America or Africa work well.

Recipe:

Prepare the dripper:
Place the filter in the dripper over a cup. Pour hot water to rinse the filter and preheat. Discard the water.
Add the coffee:
Measure the coffee. Grind coarse (like sand).
Add it to the filter.
Level it evenly.
Bloom: Zero out the scale, start the timer.
Pour ~1x the weight of the coffee from the centre outward to wet it all.
Main pour:
At 0:30, pour the rest of the water in a steady spiral. Avoid the filter walls. Keep a consistent water level.
Finish:
Finish pouring at 2:30-3:00. Let it drain completely.
Serve:
Remove the filter. Serve immediately.

Notes:

Coarse grind prevents bitterness.
A fine-spout kettle helps control the pour.
Dripper material (plastic, ceramic, glass) barely affects flavour. Match the size to your batch.

Adjust ratios and timing to suit your coffee and taste.
