ONE TRICK will DRASTICALLY improve your coffee // drip coffee maker recipe

Drip Coffee Maker Recipe

Ingredients

• 30 g coffee beans, ground medium-fine
  • Without a scale, use about 4 tablespoons. Use a little less for weaker coffee or more for stronger coffee.
• 450 g water—about 3 cups on the machine’s markings, with each mark representing 150 g.
• The recipe uses a 15:1 water-to-coffee ratio.

Equipment

• Automatic drip coffee maker with a basket and water reservoir
• Coffee grinder
• Timer or watch
• Scale, if available; otherwise, tablespoons and the machine’s cup markings

Method

1. Grind the beans to a medium-fine texture: finer than a typical pour-over grind, but not very fine.
2. Put the grounds in the coffee maker’s basket. Fill the reservoir to the 3-cup mark.
3. Turn on the machine and start a timer. When coffee first begins dripping, turn the machine off. The first drip may take around 40 seconds, but there is no fixed time.
4. Leave the machine off for 30 seconds to pre-wet the grounds and let them bloom. Bubbles will appear as the coffee degasses.
5. Turn the machine back on and let it finish brewing.

Tips and Serving

• Keep the 15:1 ratio consistent, then adjust the amount of coffee to taste.
• The on-off pause is the key technique: it gives the grounds a brief pre-wet before the full brew.
• Try letting the brewed coffee cool before judging it; the presenters say its flavor improves as it cools.
• Serve and taste once the brew is complete.
