Drip coffee, whether manual pour-over or automatic, creates clean cups that showcase coffee's inherent flavors without oils or sediment. This method excellently presents your Action Jackson blend's fruit brightness and chocolatey base.
Equipment needed: Drip coffee maker or pour-over setup, medium grind coffee, paper filters, hot water (195-205°F).
Brewing process:
- Use medium grind (consistency of kosher salt)
- Ratio: 1:17 (25g coffee to 425g water)
- Pre-wet filter to remove papery taste
- Add coffee, create small well in center
- Pour water in slow, circular motions
- Total brew time: 5-6 minutes
- Serve immediately
Optimization tips: Water temperature affects extraction - too hot creates bitterness, too cool under-extracts. Your Cigar Blend shines with drip brewing, as the method highlights the Burundi bean's sweetness while maintaining the Colombian's roasty chocolate notes.
