Cold Drip

This brewing method will take slightly longer than your 'Back to the Future' marathon.

This production method takes a long time and requires patience, just like in the movie "Back to the Future".

When this thing gets up to 88kph… I mean when this coffee hits your taste buds , you're going to taste some serious flavors. A rich, bold flavored coffee that is often likened to a coffee liqueur.

Once the car reaches 88 km/h... I mean, once the coffee is made and touches your taste buds , you will feel the mellow taste. The cold drip coffee tastes rich and mellow like coffee liqueur.

GRIND Grinding degree:

BREWING TIME

Extraction time: 7 hours

YOU WILL NEED

Cold Drip Ice Drip Pot

Paper Filters

Cold Water(600ml)

Ice water (600 ml)

Fresh Coffee (80g) Freshly ground coffee (80g)

Ice (to serve)

1. Start by rinsing the paper filters with warm water to get rid of any paper taste. Take your coffee chamber, and insert one paper filter followed by the metal filter. Grind your coffee and add on top of the metal filter . You will want a flat, even surface, so give the coffee a shake and a firm tap to settle it.

Moisten the filter paper with warm water to remove odors; open the powder bin, add a piece of filter paper, and then add the metal filter; pour the coffee powder on the metal filter ; gently shake the powder bin to ensure that the powder surface is even and flat; finally, compact the coffee powder.

2. Place the second paper filter on top of the ground coffee – this will help the water to disperse evenly across it . Slide the coffee chamber into place. Make sure the drip tap is secured in the off position (full left) before filling the chamber with water.

Add a second filter paper over the coffee grounds to ensure even contact between the water and the coffee grounds; assemble the powder bin in place and pour in cold water; do not open the drip valve until the water fills the powder bin.

3. Slide the catching vessel in place and ease on the tap to about 2-3 drips per second . Keep the drips at this speed until you can see that the top 50px of coffee is saturated (approximately 30 minutes).

Assemble the upper water tank in place and ensure that the drip rate is 2-3 drops per second ; open the drip valve and maintain the water flow rate until 2 cm of coffee is dripped into the bottom coffee pot (this process takes about 30 minutes).

4. Slow the drip down till it drips at roughly one per second-try to maintain this speed through the rest of the brew. The whole brew should take around 7 hours. You will know it is complete once the top chamber is empty and water drips only occasionally from the coffee chamber

Slow down the drip rate to 1 drop/second and maintain this rate until the extraction is complete. The entire extraction process takes about 7 hours. If all the water in the upper water tank has dripped out and the drip valve almost no longer drips coffee, it means that the production is complete.
