How to choose a coffee grinder?

One of the basics of brewing coffee in a dripper is freshly ground coffee. So it is worth choosing the right grinder to grind it. If we will use it only at home it is worth buying an automatic grinder. On the other hand, planning frequent trips, for which we will take coffee brewing equipment, it is worth considering the purchase of a lightweight manual grinder. Such a mill is not expensive to purchase. It is completely different when it comes to professional grinders, but such are usually not used at home, because a manual or automatic one is completely sufficient for preparing good and aromatic coffee in a dripper.

How to prepare coffee in a dripper?

Have you purchased a dripper and are wondering how to brew your first coffee in it? We suggest how to prepare it.

Coffee-drip brewing step-by-step recipe:

1. Place the drip on the server and pour hot water over it.
2. Then pour the water out of the server.
3. Pour the appropriate amount of freshly ground coffee into the filter.
4. Pour a small amount of water at the right temperature over the coffee filter so as to soak the entire amount of coffee.
5. We wait 30 s while preinfusion (pre-soaking the coffee before adding all the water).
6. Add the rest of the water, using circular motions. Pour the water in portions, making sure to pour it over the grains, never over the filter. Keep a steady pace of topping up water so that all of it does not run out.
7. Only at the end of brewing do we let all the water drain and then remove the filter from the dripper and throw it away.

Drip-coffee, which one to choose?

Dripper is one of the more pleasant methods of home coffee preparation if you don't have a coffee maker. It is an alternative for coffee lovers who care about a good quality brew. Of course, choosing the right dripper is already half the battle, but in addition it is worth betting on good quality coffee beans, which we can grind before brewing. Coffee for the dripper should be light roasted. This kind retains more flavor as well as will be richer in caffeine. Dark-roasted coffees, on the other hand, are often more bitter in flavor, and don't have the same effect. The taste of the coffee will also be affected by the temperature at which it is brewed. If you want a sweet taste, it is better to prepare it at a lower temperature. The most common coffees that have a sweeter taste come from Guatemala and Brazil. On the other hand, if we care about preserving a fruity note, it is worth choosing coffees from Ethiopia or Rwanda.
