Rich aroma of fresh coffee fascinates people worldwide. Many people would have a cup of coffee every morning.

The world of coffee is profound once you are particular about how to brew it. Today we are going to introduce a simple way to brew authentic coffee.

What You Need

What we are introducing today is hand-dripped coffee using a paper filter. You can use your favorite coffee beans.

The advantage of hand-dripped coffee is that you can brew delicious coffee with minimum tools. Coffee beans should be grinded just before brewing coffee if possible.

All you need are a dripper, coffee mill (grinder), kettle, server (as lined from the left side in the picture above), and conical paper filter.

How to Brew Delicious Coffee

1. Grind coffee beans

For a cup of coffee, grind 20 g of beans. If you use a grinder, you can apply your favorite grind size.

2. Pour hot water and steam the coffee

For a cup of coffee, prepare 300 mL of hot water.

Set a dripper and filter on the server and get the filter wet with hot water that was boiled in a kettle in advance. This prevents smell transfer from the paper.

Next, pour hot water like drawing circles from the center to outside (3 to 4 circles in total) and let it steam for about 40 seconds. Repeat this process 5 to 6 times.

In winter, it would be even better to pre-warm the cup, dripper and server by pouring hot water beforehand.

3. Pour coffee into a cup

The coffee extracted in the server will have 2 layers with different concentration, so stir it well before pouring. That’s all for delicious coffee!

Summary

The key to delicious coffee is to measure the amount of beans and water accurately and to proceed quickly and carefully. For those who want to save time and effort for measuring, it is recommended to use a dripper attached with measuring spoon, etc. Would you like to have a wonderful morning with hand-dripped coffee?
