Drip coffee is a convenient way to enjoy high-quality coffee wherever you are. However, small mistakes in the brewing process can affect the taste. Here’s how to brew a drip bag correctly and what to avoid.
The Main Mistake: Brewing Like a Tea Bag
Many people drop the drip bag into the cup and pour water over it, just like a tea bag. This prevents the coffee from fully developing its flavor.
How to Do It Correctly:
- Hang the drip bag on the edge of your cup.
- Pour the water slowly and evenly, allowing the coffee to extract properly.
-
Remove the bag after brewing—keeping it in the cup won’t improve the taste.
Water Temperature: Not Too Hot, Not Too Cold
Using the wrong water temperature can ruin your brew:
- Too hot (100°C) → Burns the coffee, resulting in a bitter taste.
-
Too cold (<90°C) → Leads to weak extraction and a flat taste.
Optimal Temperature: 90–96°C for perfect extraction.
No thermometer? Simply wait 30 seconds after boiling before pouring.
Water-to-Coffee Ratio: Get It Just Right
Common Mistakes:
- Too much water → Weak, watery coffee.
-
Too little water → Overly strong and concentrated brew.
Recommended Ratio for Two Bean Coffee Drip Bags:
200 ml of water per 1 drip bag.
Brewing Time: Don’t Rush It
What Happens If You Brew Too Quickly?
- Poor extraction results in weak, flavorless coffee.
-
Improper blooming leads to harsh, unbalanced flavors.
How to Brew Properly:
-
Pour 30-40 ml of water and let the coffee bloom for 30 seconds.
-
Slowly pour the remaining water in 2-3 stages.
-
Total brewing time: Around 5 minutes for full flavor development.
How to Get the Best Flavor with Drip Bags
-
Use water at the correct temperature (90–96°C).
-
Pour the water slowly and evenly for full extraction.
-
Follow the proper ratio (200 ml of water per drip bag).
-
Remove the drip bag after brewing.
With these simple tips, every cup of Two Bean Coffee will be rich, aromatic, and perfectly balanced.
