Make sure the utensils used are clean and sterile to fully guarantee the taste and hygiene safety of the coffee.

Brewing tips

1. Choose the right water temperature: The water temperature of drip coffee should be controlled between 90℃-94℃. Too high water temperature will make the coffee too bitter, while too low water temperature will lead to insufficient extraction and affect the taste.

2. Immersion method: Put the drip coffee bag into the cup, pour in hot water and let it stand for a while to allow the coffee to fully soak and extract, then take out the coffee bag and drink it. This method can fully release the aroma and taste of the coffee.

3. Pour-in method: first pour hot water into another container, then soak the drip coffee bag in the hot water for a while, and then pour the soaked coffee into the cup. This method is suitable for friends who want to make the coffee more intense.

Adjustments for personal taste

In addition to basic brewing techniques, adjusting personal taste is also key. You can add milk, sugar and other condiments according to your personal preferences to create your own unique taste. Different types of drip coffee also have different flavor characteristics. You can choose different flavors of drip coffee to try according to your preferences.
