Brewing Guide

Brew Guide for 10g Coffee Drip Bags:

1. Coffee-to-Water Ratio:

   • Recommended Ratio: The globally accepted coffee-to-water ratio for drip coffee is typically 1:15 to 1:17.
   • For a 10g coffee drip bag, use 150 to 170 ml of water to achieve an optimal extraction.
   • This ratio provides a balanced brew where flavors are well-extracted without over-extraction or bitterness.

2. Brew Time:

   • The total brew time should be approximately 2 to 2.5 minutes. This includes the water drip-through time.
   • Pre-infusion (Blooming): Start by pouring about 20-30 ml of water (roughly twice the weight of coffee) to bloom the coffee grounds, allowing the CO₂ to release. Let it sit for 20-30 seconds.
   • After blooming, continue slowly pouring water until you reach the desired total amount.

3. Water Temperature:

   • Use water between 90°C and 96°C (195°F to 205°F), as this is the optimal temperature range for coffee extraction.
   • Avoid boiling water, as it may scorch the coffee grounds, leading to a bitter taste.

4. Expected Brew Output:

   • For a 10g drip bag with 150-170 ml of water, the expected output (or brewed coffee) should be around 130-150 ml after extraction, considering some water absorption by the coffee grounds and the drip filter.

5. Brewing Technique:

   • Ensure you pour water slowly and steadily, evenly covering the coffee grounds for an even extraction.
   • A slow and controlled pour, ideally in a circular motion, will help ensure the coffee grounds are fully saturated and extracted evenly.

Example Guide for 10g Drip Bag:

• Input: 10g of coffee grounds.
• Water: 150-170 ml.
• Brewing Time: 2 to 2.5 minutes (including 20-30 seconds for blooming).
• Expected Output: 130-150 ml of brewed coffee.
• Taste Profile: Balanced acidity, body, and sweetness with optimal flavor extraction.

Example Guide for 10g Drip Bag:

• Input: 10g of coffee grounds.
• Water: 150-170 ml.
• Brewing Time: 2 to 2.5 minutes (including 20-30 seconds for blooming).
• Expected Output: 130-150 ml of brewed coffee.
• Taste Profile: Balanced acidity, body, and sweetness due to optimal extraction.

Brew Guide for 16g Coffee Drip Bags:

1. Coffee-to-Water Ratio:

   • Recommended Ratio: The globally accepted coffee-to-water ratio for drip coffee is typically 1:15 to 1:17.
   • For a 16g coffee drip bag, use 240 to 270 ml of water to achieve an optimal extraction.
   • This ratio provides a balanced brew where flavors are well-extracted without over-extraction or bitterness.

2. Brew Time:

   • The total brew time should be approximately 2.5 to 3 minutes. This includes the water drip-through time.
   • Pre-infusion (Blooming): Start by pouring about 30-50 ml of water (roughly twice the weight of coffee) to bloom the coffee grounds, allowing the CO₂ to release. Let it sit for 30-45 seconds.
   • After blooming, continue slowly pouring water until you reach the desired total amount.

3. Water Temperature:

   • Use water between 90°C and 96°C (195°F to 205°F), as this is the optimal temperature range for coffee extraction.
   • Avoid boiling water, as it may scorch the coffee grounds, leading to a bitter taste.

4. Expected Brew Output:

   • For a 16g drip bag with 240-270 ml of water, the expected output (or brewed coffee) should be around 210-240 ml after extraction, considering some water absorption by the coffee grounds and the drip filter.

5. Brewing Technique:

   • Ensure you pour water slowly and steadily, evenly covering the coffee grounds for an even extraction.
   • A slow and controlled pour, ideally in a circular motion, will help ensure the coffee grounds are fully saturated and extracted evenly.

Example Guide for 16g Drip Bag:

• Input: 16g of coffee grounds.
• Water: 240-270 ml.
• Brewing Time: 2.5 to 3 minutes (including 30-45 seconds for blooming).
• Expected Output: 210-240 ml of brewed coffee.
• Taste Profile: Full-bodied, rich, and balanced with optimal flavor extraction.
