With drip coffee, gravity is the driving force. Water is poured over a bed of coffee grounds to produce the delicious coffee. From large batch brewers, to pour over cones, to the $20 machine at your parents’ house – ‘drip’ coffee comes in many shapes and forms.

Grinding your coffee fresh for every brew will ensure you are brewing with the most desirable flavours. Oxidisation occurs once coffee is ground which causes the loss of flavours and aromas once the air hits the ground coffee.

Using filtered water to brew will help keep the clean flavour of the coffee. A gooseneck kettle with temp control can assist with the control of speed and accuracy when pouring water for our brew method, whilst giving you an accurate temperature.

Scales will assist you in your coffee to water ratio. Ensuring you start with the right amount of coffee and add the correct amount of water. Some scales also have inbuilt timers to help track the brew time.

Paper filters can be much finer, whilst reusable metal filter sare not quite fine enough to catch everything that is poured into them,meaning they can letoils and micro-fines into the cup (not necessarily a negative outcome). Regardless of the filter of choice, always rinse the filter with hot water before adding coffee and brewing.
