When many people hear the word drip coffee, what does drip mean? Let us explain that to you.
At first, distillation is a boiling process at certain degrees in which the components of the different compounds in coffee are separated at each certain degree, and the difference between the boiling point from one to the other to be separated ranges from 40 to 50 degrees Celsius, and of course this process requires specialized tools to separate the compounds and prevent the coffee beans from melting. The first to discover the compound coffee method was the German "Melitta Bentz", a pioneer and researcher in her field, and when she was looking for the best way to make a cup of coffee, she was also the first to come up with the manufacture of "paper coffee filters" and use them at first until the development of coffee preparation in the modern era with modern devices that researchers manufactured and the innovation of old mechanisms and ideas, and this step was for the scientist "Peter Schlumbon".

The best ways to prepare drip coffee:
Many people are looking for a way to prepare drip coffee to enjoy a special cup of coffee. Here is the preparation method:
First, you need to weigh an amount of coffee, say 15 grams for every 250 ml of water. Start by grinding the coffee beans well to get a fine powder. Here, start by boiling the water, taking care not to exceed the boiling point of the water at 90 degrees Celsius. Wash the filter well, then place it on top of your cup. Sprinkle the ground coffee beans on the filter. Start pouring the water slowly to drip all the scattered beans. Enjoy drinking a cup of distinctive drip coffee.
- The methods of preparing drip coffee are similar to each other, and if there is a difference, it is very simple due to the difference in the tools used, such as the V60 tool, which works to filter and purify the coffee beans from sediments, and it was named this name because its preparation vessel is in the shape of the letter V and takes a 60-degree angle of inclination. Here is the preparation method: -
- Grind the coffee beans well.
- Place the v60 tool on your cup.
- Place a paper filter on top of the v60 tool.
