How to make drip coffee

Drip coffee is made by pouring water through roasted and ground coffee powder into a coffee filter, allowing the water to flow through the coffee powder to extract the flavorings from the coffee.

How to make Drip Coffee

1. Prepare your equipment:

Dripper (e.g., V60 or Kalita Wave)
Filter paper
Ground coffee (recommended: coarse to medium grind)
Kettle (gooseneck kettle for better water control)
Scale + timer
Server or glass

2. Coffee-to-Water Ratio

1 gram of coffee: 15–17 grams of water (depending on your preferred strength)
For example: 15 grams of coffee + 250 grams of water

3. Brewing Procedure

Rinse the filter paper.
Pour hot water through the filter paper to reduce paper odor and warm the equipment.
Add coffee powder.
Pour ground coffee into the dripper and shake gently to evenly distribute the coffee powder.

Pour a small amount of hot water (approximately 92–96°C) twice the amount of coffee (e.g., 15 grams of coffee → 30 grams of water). Let it steep for 30–45 seconds.
👉 This helps the carbon dioxide in the coffee evaporate, resulting in a cleaner, more refined taste.
Pour water in a circular motion.
Gently pour the remaining hot water in a circular motion from the center outward, avoiding the edge of the dripper directly.
- Pour one round at a time, allowing the water to drain before continuing.
- Total brewing time: approximately 2:30–3:30 minutes
Serve and drink once the drip is complete.
This will give you a distinct aroma, a clear, balanced flavor, and a smooth, balanced coffee.

4. Tips for a better taste:

Use clean filtered water (RO + TDS adjustment is best, as we discussed earlier 😁).
Adjust the coffee grind level → Fine grind = rich flavor / Coarse grind = clear flavor.
Control weight and time consistently.

👉 Summary: Drip coffee = ground coffee + hot water + careful timing and pouring. This results in a cup of coffee that's both fragrant and clean.
