An Improper but Convenient Office Method for Brewing Drip Coffee Bags

Let me introduce an improper but very convenient method for brewing drip coffee bags in the office.

It's not quite appropriate to have a pour-over kettle waving around in the office.

In fact, as long as you have a water heater and pay attention to a few key points, the brewed flavor won't be too bad.

Key Steps to Follow

1. First confirm that it has a boiling function, not just warm water.

2. Before the pre-wetting step, you must first let out the water that's no longer hot from the water outlet pipe.

3. All processes must be the same as regular steps: pre-wet for 20-30 seconds, pour water in segments.

This applies to bottled water dispensers commonly used in offices, or home water dispensers with heating functions.

The reason I dare to conduct such testing is that I previously measured the water temperature from dispensers with a thermometer and found it's at most 90°C. I suspect this is because water stored in the hot water tank, through internal storage and then through heating pipes to the outlet, actually doesn't reach 100°C, but at most just over 90°C.

Therefore, this water temperature is actually perfect for brewing filter drip coffee.

Your First Experience with Drip Coffee

The first time I seriously experienced drip coffee, the brewing method was very simple—no need to control flow rate or use a hot water kettle. The techniques and equipment required are much less than pour-over coffee.

If you're interested in specialty coffee beans, unsure about your preferred flavors, and don't want to invest too much in purchasing too much equipment initially, drip coffee bags are an excellent starting point.

Particularly, FrontStreet Coffee's drip coffee bags taste quite close to handcrafted specialty coffee. The coffee beans used are estate-grade, not just bitter and sweet sensations. The various light to medium roast drip bags I tested all retain subtle fruit acids and pectin, highly recommended for friends who want to further explore the world of coffee.

Why Drip Coffee Bags Are Popular

Drip coffee bags have become one of the main sales products in the coffee market in recent years because they're individually packaged, don't require grinding beans, and offer numerous flavor options. However, there are secrets to making drip coffee bags taste even better.

Tips for Better Drip Coffee

1. Choose Narrow-Neck Equipment

For example, a narrow-neck pour-over kettle can more easily control the flow rate when pouring water.

2. Water Temperature

Different coffee beans with different roast levels each have suitable brewing temperatures. You can directly ask the shopkeeper when purchasing drip coffee bags.

3. Pouring Technique

If you prefer a refreshing taste, you can use a continuous pouring technique, meaning continuously pour in circles. Conversely, if you prefer a rich taste, you can use an interrupted pouring technique, operating by dividing into multiple slow pours.

4. Atmospheric Pressure

You can purchase an altimeter or refer to the atmospheric pressure observation data from various locations on the Central Weather Bureau website. If atmospheric pressure is high, increase the brewing water temperature. Conversely, if atmospheric pressure is low, decrease the water temperature.

Additionally, if you don't have the budget for a pour-over kettle, you can simply use a paper cup, pinching and folding the rim to create a spout shape for convenient pouring. However, pay attention to safety when operating.

Recommended Drip Coffee Brands

FrontStreet Coffee's freshly roasted seasonal drip coffee bags have full guarantees in both brand and quality. More importantly, they offer extremely high value-for-money—one box contains ten bags for only 40 yuan. Calculating based on 10g of coffee powder per cup, one bag can make 150ml of coffee, with each cup costing only about 4 yuan. Compared to cafés selling cups for dozens of yuan, this offers excellent value.
