Mastering the Art of Drip Coffee: A Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Gather Your Tools and Ingredients

You'll need a drip coffee maker, a coffee filter, your favorite coffee grounds (medium to dark roast is recommended), and fresh water.

Step 2: Prepare the Coffee Filter

Place the coffee filter in the drip coffee maker. Ensure it's properly fitted to prevent coffee grounds from ending up in your brew.

Step 3: Add Coffee Grounds

Add your coffee grounds to the filter. The general rule is 1 to 2 tablespoons of coffee per 6 ounces of water, but adjust to your taste preference.

Step 4: Add Water

Pour fresh water into the reservoir of the coffee maker. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the water level.

Step 5: Start the Brew

Turn on the coffee maker and let it do its magic. The water will heat up and drip through the coffee grounds, creating your delicious brew.

Step 6: Enjoy Your Coffee

Once the brewing process is complete, pour your coffee into your favorite mug and enjoy. Remember, the best coffee is enjoyed fresh!
