Drip coffee, brewing it drop by drop
Drip coffee is one of the most popular methods to brew coffee. It's cheap and effective. It's the type of coffee machine you're most likely to find in every home. In fact, you've probably grown up drinking drip coffee.
There are several different methods to brew coffee, and drip coffee is probably the most commonly used along with the espresso. Drip brewing is based on the process of boiling water slowly dripping through ground coffee and a paper filter. It offers a quick and clean solution and that's why it is one of the preferred methods for everyone.
Keep in mind that coffee brewing is not an exact science. We can rely on technology to take care of some stuff (like keeping the constant temperature, and timing it perfectly) but then there's the art part. Grinding it right, just before brewing it, to ensure you'll get the best drip coffee possible is just a small detail; you'll learn more, with each coffee you make.
