If you are just getting into speciality coffee and want to get as many flavours out of it as possible, you can’t go wrong with using the drip method.
You may have seen a hand-brew dripper before – it is an inverted cone-shaped funnel which slowly extracts the coffee from the grounds by slowly draining it through a paper or reusable filter. The result is a delicate, sophisticated cup.
It’s actually a method used around the world, too, in some form or other. The ‘sock’ (a thin muslin material) is a popular filter in Middle Eastern countries, and others use bags similar to tea bags to extract their coffee.
But many brands have developed dedicated coffee drip makers in response to its popularity, including Japanese brand Hario with their infamous V60.
