Drip Filter
Perhaps the easiest way to make multiple cups of coffee in a short period of time, drip filter coffee rejects the high-pressure world of espresso for a slower, more thoughtful approach. The result is a lighter, less concentrated, and often more complex cup.
Tip - While waiting for your brew, here’s a useful tip: the shape of the basket and filter will influence the taste of your cup, accentuating different flavours of the same coffee.

1. Filter Paper Prep
A note before you start: the dose is dependent on two factors – how many cups you’ll be brewing and your taste preference. The SCA recommended ratio is 1:18, or 55g of coffee per 1ltr of water.
First, place the filter paper into the semi-conical basket. The semi-conical basket will help enhance the flavour. Gently wet the paper.

2. The Grind
Grind 23g of coffee beans to a size that resembles coarse table salt. Pour the ground coffee into the basket and tap to settle.
