Drip Coffee: Brewing Techniques and Tips

Drip coffee, a method that many may not be fully adept at, is a convenient way to enjoy freshly ground coffee. The key advantage is its time-saving nature, allowing you to indulge in a delicious cup of freshly brewed coffee anytime with just hot water. However, brewing a tasty drip coffee requires attention to detail. Let's explore some brewing techniques together!

Drip Coffee Brewing Methods

Brewing Method 1:

1. Tear open the coffee bag along the perforation and remove the drip filter paper pouch.
2. Tear open the filter paper pouch along the arrow direction.
3. Open the ears on both sides of the filter paper and hang it on the rim of the cup.
4. First, pour a small amount of boiling water. Then, depending on your preference, continue pouring boiling water in batches, approximately 150ml. For a stronger brew, use less water; for a lighter brew, add slightly more.
5. Remove the filter pouch after brewing. Optionally, add milk or sugar as desired, and your freshly brewed coffee is ready to enjoy!

Common Issues and Precautions

Pregnant women should avoid excessive consumption. People prone to insomnia are advised not to drink drip coffee before bedtime.

Pour-Over Coffee Pot Brewing Quality

The key to pour-over coffee pot brewing starts from the fifth step, where we divide the pouring of hot water into three stages:

1. Slowly pour a small amount of hot water to fully saturate the coffee grounds. Let it sit for about 10 seconds to allow the grounds to "wake up."
2. Gradually pour in more hot water. At this point, you may see rich foam forming. Be careful not to overflow the filter.
3. Wait until the previous pour has filtered into the cup before adding the final pour. If you prefer a stronger brew, submerge the filter pouch in the cup for 40-180 seconds before discarding.

The total volume of hot water for the three pours should be 150ml-180ml.

Filter Drip Coffee Pouches

Filter drip coffee pouches represent the evolution of drip coffee into a compact and integrated form. Upon first sight, these pouches seem like a clever design. They contain pre-ground coffee within a dust-proof bag. By opening the attached ears and hanging them on the edge of a mug, you can easily brew a fragrant cup of coffee using hot water around 85°C.

This design is particularly beneficial for business travelers, vacationers, or those who find it inconvenient to use other equipment in the office and dislike instant coffee.

Steps to Brew with Filter Drip Coffee Pouches

1. Unfold the pouch and hang it inside a deep mug, preferably a Starbucks mug.
2. Fill the pouch with pre-ground coffee.
3. Pour in 85°C hot water and let it steep for 20-30 seconds. This temperature is sufficient to wet all the coffee grounds and help release aromatic compounds.
4. Continue pouring water in a circular motion, avoiding the edges of the pouch to prevent water leakage and ensure a balanced flavor.
5. Fill the mug to your desired level. For a stronger flavor, let the pouch steep longer.
6. Your coffee is ready! Adjust the taste with sugar or milk as preferred.

There are two common types of filter drip coffee pouches on the market: those filled with pre-ground coffee and those without.

Standard Brewing Method for Drip Coffee
