How to Drink Drip Bag Coffee? What Are Some Recommended Drip Bag Coffee Brands?

When you want a cup of coffee, stop reaching for instant. People today pay more attention to health, and even when they want a convenient, rich cup, they increasingly choose drip coffee bags instead of instant coffee.

FrontStreet Coffee's drip bags are packed with freshly roasted beans and use only Arabica varieties rather than Robusta, so they deliver both flavor and a cleaner cup. With a promotion or two each month, they are also excellent value.

How should FrontStreet Coffee's drip coffee bags be brewed?

1. Tear open the filter paper seal
2. Unfold the two hanging ears and place them on a mug. Folding the ears slightly helps them sit more securely.
3. Slowly pour in hot water. For the first pour, simply wet all the coffee grounds and let it sit for about 15 seconds so the coffee can bloom, then continue adding hot water until you reach the desired amount. (Recommended brewing amount: 150-250cc, adjusted to your preferred strength)

Secrets to Making Drip Coffee Bags More Delicious

Standard coffee cup (200cc)

1. Tear open the top seal of the drip coffee bag filter paper and hang it on your cup.
2. Prepare hot water. For temperature reference, see pour-over brewing water temperature. Recommended brewing amount is 200cc of hot water to yield 160-180cc of coffee.
3. If your water dispenser output is too strong, prepare a spouted kettle or measuring cup for easier pouring.
4. If your water dispenser allows manual control of the flow, you can place the cup directly under the outlet.
5. Slowly pour hot water into the center. For the first pour, just wet the coffee grounds and stop, letting it steep for 20 seconds.
6. Then continue pouring until the water reaches 2/3 of the filter bag, then stop and let the coffee drain through. (The flow should be continuous and even, not intermittent or fluctuating between too strong and too weak.)
7. Continue pouring until the cup is 8/9 full (about 160cc), then let it steep for about 5 seconds before removing the filter paper.

A cup of rich, aromatic drip coffee is now ready.

FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

For drip bags, bright, fruit-forward coffees work best. FrontStreet Ethiopia Huakui is a standout choice: its tropical fruit aroma is extremely prominent, with strawberry, passion fruit, jackfruit, and even lychee, plus clear sweetness and very little bitterness. Smooth and full of juice, it is a coffee that changes the minds of people who think they dislike coffee. FrontStreet Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Gedingding is the gentler counterpart, with bright citrus and berry notes and a floral, green-tea finish that many drinkers find an easy first step into specialty coffee.

Because these coffees are delicate, keep the water temperature moderate and pour slowly, in a steady, even stream. Both are sold as convenient drip bags with the coffee already ground and portioned, so you can enjoy them at the office, on a trip, or anywhere a mug and hot water are available.
