Drip coffee is a popular brewing method where hot water slowly passes through ground coffee held in a paper or metal filter. The water extracts flavors as it drips into a carafe or cup below.
Known for its clarity and balance, drip coffee highlights the nuances of specialty coffee beans, making it ideal for showcasing origin and roast profiles.
It’s commonly brewed using machines like a Fetco Brewer or manual pour-over devices like the Chemex or V60.
Drip coffee is favored for its consistency, smooth body, and ability to produce multiple servings, making it a staple in our stores.

Step by Step Guide
GRIND SIZES
Like espresso, changing the grind size for your filter coffee grinder will affect the flavor of the final product; however, unlike espresso, the runtime will remain the same as it is programmed directly into the Brewer.
Instead of dialing in to a specific recipe, with filter coffee, you dial in to taste.
Filter coffee needs to be “dialed in” just like espresso.
Dialing in is about finding the best tasting cup of filter coffee. The right balance between bitterness, acidity and sweetness.
To achieve this, you need to adjust the grind setting based on what you taste.
If your coffee is on the bitter side, heavy, dark, ashy, etc. You should make your grind setting coarser.
If your coffee is on the sour, dry, weakside. You should make your grind setting finer.
You should taste your drip coffee everyday to ensure the flavor is on point and determine whether and adjustment needs to be made.
You should always have labels on your grinder, so the Team knows what is the current & best grind setting.
