How To Make Drip Coffee

6/19/2019

 

Our Head Roaster's Instructions

You’ve just purchased your first bag of Spirit Mountain Coffee. Great! This is the first step to brewing the perfect cup of coffee. All of Spirit Mountain’s coffee beans are roasted to order, ensuring you will have the freshest beans possible. Freshly roasted, quality beans are a prerequisite for a great result.
​
Just as important as quality coffee is clean, fresh water. Tap water typically has chlorine added which can significantly affect the final taste in a negative way. Spring water is best. Distilled water has been stripped of all minerals, the minerals are an important part of the flavor profile and should be present, so distilled isn’t recommended either. Clean water + fresh beans = delicious coffee.

Drip is probably the most common way of brewing coffee in most households. Drip machines are common and easy to use.

Instructions:
  • Measure your beans:  A good baseline ratio of coffee to water is 2 tablespoons of whole bean coffee for every 8 oz. of water
  • Grind beans to a “medium” level - similar to beach sand.  Coarsely ground beans provide less of a surface area to pull the flavor out of the beans. Finely ground beans provide too much surface area leading to over-extracted coffee.

  • Place filter into your drip machine.
  • Place ground coffee into the coffee filter.
  • Add the necessary amount of water to the drip machine’s water container based on the ratio above.
  • Press brew button.
  • When the machine finishes dripping, pour yourself a mug, enjoy black or add your desired amounts of cream and/or sugar.
