Drip Coffee Brewing Method

Brewing through filter drip infusion, water is heated by the machine's internal heating tube, then injected from above through a nozzle, spraying radially over the coffee grounds to evenly moisten them. During steeping, water permeates the coffee grounds and, under gravity, the liquid drips down through the coffee machine's filter screen or filter paper.

Important Reminder

Since drip machines can brew multiple times, pay attention to cleaning the hot water outlet and coffee filter outlet regularly to ensure coffee retains its original brewing flavor without being affected.

Usage Steps

1. Add water to the water tank.
2. Place filter paper in the filter and add coffee grounds.
3. Press the brew switch and drip into the glass pot to complete brewing.

Tips for Brewing Delicious Coffee

Finally, here are some tips for brewing a delicious cup of coffee:

1. Use the freshest drip coffee beans.

   It's best to grind just before brewing.

2. Use fresh water.

   In some regions, you may need to use filtered or bottled water. Avoid using unfiltered water.

3. Use the grinder correctly.

   If ground too fine, the coffee will taste bitter; if too coarse, the coffee will be relatively weak.

4. Use standard coffee measurements.

   Typically, the common ratio of coffee grounds to water in Western countries is 15-30 grams of coffee grounds (1-2 tablespoons) to 300 ml of water (6 ounces). Coffee enthusiasts often use the upper limit of this ratio, but this amount can be adjusted according to personal taste and experience. Please note to make appropriate adjustments based on the coarseness of the coffee grounds.

5. Water temperature should ideally be just below boiling point at 93°C.

   Proper water temperature is also crucial. Water temperature selection is related to brewing equipment, coffee bean variety, and roast level. If water temperature is too low, flavors in the coffee beans cannot be fully extracted; if water temperature is too high, over-extraction occurs, deteriorating taste and often resulting in bitterness.

6. Brewing time should ideally be completed within 4-6 minutes.

   Using the "pour-over method" is best completed within 4-6 minutes; using "moka pot" and "siphon" brewing methods can both be completed within 4 minutes; using "electric circulation filter machines" should not exceed 6 minutes. Brewing too long will cause coffee to develop bitterness.

   Additionally, if water passes through coffee grounds only once, the finished product will mainly contain easily soluble substances (including caffeine). If water circulates through coffee grounds multiple times (like common circulation filter machines), less soluble substances from the coffee beans will also enter the finished product, causing bitter taste. This method is therefore not favored by enthusiasts.
