Measure Coffee: Use about 1.5 to 2 tablespoons of coffee per 6 ounces of water. Adjust based on your taste preference. The "Golden Ratio" suggests 1 to 2 tablespoons for a balanced flavor
Prepare Water: Fill the coffee maker with filtered water. The ideal brewing temperature is between 197°F and 204°F (92°C to 96°C).
Grind Coffee: If using whole beans, grind them to a medium consistency just before brewing to preserve freshness and flavor.
Rinse the Filter: Rinse the paper filter with hot water to eliminate any paper taste and preheat the coffee maker's cone
Brew: Pour the hot water over the coffee grounds, allowing them to bloom for about 20 seconds before continuing to pour the remaining water slowly. This helps extract the flavors more effectively
Serve Immediately: Enjoy your coffee fresh, ideally within 30 minutes of brewing, as it can lose flavor over time.
By following these steps, you can create a rich and flavorful cup of drip coffee that rivals your favorite café.
