Drip Bag: how to brew it

Coffee

12 g

Water

180 ml about ¾ cup

Water temperature

90 °C — boiled, then left about a minute A medium-dark roast dissolves faster and turns bitter if you push it.

Brew time

2:15 A Natural coffee gives its fruit up early and its ferment late.

First pour

30 ml, then wait 30 seconds

That is a ratio of 1:15, if you would rather scale it.

1. Hook the two paper arms over the rim of the cup so the filter hangs inside it.
2. Tip the coffee in and level it with a tap.
3. Wet the grounds with a little water and wait half a minute.
4. Pour the rest in two or three goes, letting it drain between each.
5. Lift the bag out and throw it away. Squeezing it only adds bitterness.

• It is ground for this brewer already. If it runs through too fast, use a little more coffee rather than reaching for a finer grind.
• 80:20 coffee and chicory. It brews darker and faster than coffee alone, so pull it a touch short.
• Roasted 7 days ago, which is about as good as it gets.
