What Grind Works Best for Drip Coffee?

Question

Accepted Answer

Drip machines need a medium grind that’s fine enough to extract fully in the few minutes water runs through, but coarse enough that it won't clog the filter or turn bitter. If you're grinding fresh, that's the target. If you're using our coffee pre-ground, that work's already done. A reasonable starting ratio is 1 to 2 tablespoons of coffee per 6 ounces of water, adjusted from there to taste.

How Much Caffeine is in Drip Coffee?

It depends on the beans and how strong you brew it, but drip generally lands in the same range as most home-brewed coffee. You’ll get more than a shot of espresso by volume, but less than what you'd get sip for sip from a concentrated cold brew.

Which Roast Should You Brew?

Every roast in this collection can be ground and calibrated for the drip maker, so the only real decision left is which flavor you're in the mood for.

Can You Use Espresso Beans for Drip Coffee?

Yes. The roast doesn't lock a bean into one brew method, the grind does. Espresso beans just need to be reground to a drip coffee size, before they'll work in a drip machine. Nizza, for example, is roasted for espresso, but the bag sold on this page is ground for drip instead.
