Drip coffee

People who like to experiment and test different types of coffee tend to stick with drip coffee, or pour-over as it is also called, as a brewing method. All you need besides hot water and freshly ground coffee is a scale, a filter holder and a filter.

We believe drip coffee tastes cleaner and more honest, the uninitiated would probably say thinner.

One of the upsides of drip coffee is that you can brew as little as one cup per brew and you can achieve different flavors with small adjustments to the grind and dosage.

Everyone has their own favorite recipes when it comes to drip coffee. Below we give examples of what we at Solde Kafferosteri have as our favorite recipes when brewing with Hario filters.

Jonas: 27 gr coffee / 400 gr water
Johan: 17 gr coffee / 320 gr water
Dan: 10 gr coffee / 170 gr water

How to brew drip coffee

There are a variety of single-cup solutions available. We will instruct you on a porcelain filter. In addition to the filter itself, you will also need coffee and freshly boiled water. The coffee grind can be anything from fine like sugar to coarse like raw sugar and the amount can vary between 7 to 14 grams per deciliter.

Start by preheating the filter by pouring water on it.

You fill the filter with your desired amount of coffee and pre-soak by pouring a small amount of hot water. Then let it steep for 20-30 seconds. Then pour the remaining water in a fine stream into the center of the filter and slowly work the coffee out to the sides with a circular counterclockwise motion.

Experiment, change and try your luck. But whatever you do, never pour clockwise!

Good luck!
