Drip Brewer Basics
The Basics of brewing with drip brewer
Possibly the easiest and most conveniet form of brewing from your trusty Mr Coffee machine to hi-tech programable do it all machines! The standard drip brewer is sure to be the go-to for that quick and convenient cup of hot coffee that you crave in the mornings.
We recommend starting with a 1:17 ratio of coffee to water. For every 1 gram of coffee, use 17 grams of water.
One thing to note with coffee brewers in the US is what a "cup" is considered. A coffee pot "cup" is actually 5oz. A lot of our standard home brewers that are labled as 12 cup pots or brewers, would actually yeld about 60oz of coffee. With the US Cup measurement being 8oz, that would make 7.5 cups of coffee.
Quick reference:
- 12cup brewer -- 1774g(60oz) of water --104g(3.7oz) coffee -- roughly 12 Tablespoons
- 10 cup brewer -- 1479g(50oz) of water -- 87g(3oz) coffee -- Roughly 7 Tablespoons
What you will need:
- A drip coffee brewer of some kind
