Equipment

  • Cold Drip Brewer
  • Coffee grinder
  • Glass Carafe
  • Paper Filters
  • scale
  • Measuring spoon

Ingredients
  

Coffee Base

  • 140 g medium roast coffee coarsely ground
  • 700 ml cold filtered water
  • Ice cubes optional

Instructions
 

  • Grind coffee beans coarsely for a smooth, balanced extraction. Avoid fine grounds to prevent bitterness.
  • Insert a filter and add grounds evenly into the chamber. Keep the surface flat without pressing.
  • Fill the top chamber with cold water and optional ice. This slows the drip and enhances smoothness.
  • Adjust drip rate to one drop per second. Maintain a steady pace for consistent flavor.
  • Let the coffee drip for 8 to 12 hours. The brew should appear clear with a soft, rich tone.
  • Serve over ice or mix with milk. Expect a silky texture and gentle flavor profile.

Notes

Control texture by adjusting grind size; coarser yields smoother coffee, finer increases strength. Keep drip steady for best results. Chill immediately and store up to three days. Add vanilla or citrus for flavor variation. Handle brewer carefully during setup to maintain even dripping and balance.
