There are many kinds of coffee, such as: American, Italian, Pour over(V60), and another saying is: drip filter, what kind of coffee is this? In fact, the most common drip coffee is Pour over(V60) coffee, and Pour over(V60) coffee is a type of drip coffee. In fact, the drip filter method is more common in offices and homes, because it is usually relatively simple.
Drip coffee is usually brewed with a Hong Kong-style drip machine or an American drip machine, (which is equivalent to brewing coffee powder with boiling water). Espresso is made with a fully automatic coffee machine or a professional semi-automatic coffee machine with a pressure of 15-20 Pa. There is a layer of coffee essence on the coffee.
Drip coffee is a brewing method invented by a German. Melita coffee pot filter paper is sold everywhere in supermarkets, which is the brand founded by this German. To make drip coffee, simply put, grind the coffee into powder, pour hot water on top of it, and the coffee will flow out from the bottom due to the gravity of the earth. (It would be more troublesome to do this when traveling in space without gravity.) In fact, most coffee machines on the market make coffee this way, but they just use electricity to heat water. However, one problem with these electric coffee makers is that most of them are not powerful enough and the water they heat is not at the ideal brewing temperature, so the coffee they make often has a sour taste.
The most common method of brewing drip coffee is Pour over(V60) coffee. This type of coffee usually better reflects the subtle and delicate taste of coffee, so people usually taste single-origin coffee by Pour over(V60) coffee. Unlike espresso, drip coffee has a lower density and concentration, no layering, a pure taste, and uniform quality. This is because there is no pressure effect, and hot water can more fully absorb coffee oils and aromatic substances, making the coffee taste softer.
Brewing drip coffee by hand is also easy and inexpensive. A good coffee grinder can grind coffee beans into relatively uniform powder, a kettle can boil water, and then you need something that can filter coffee powder. There are many types of filters, some with filter paper and some without filter paper. Filter paper is quite controversial. Some people think that coffee filtered through filter paper tastes cleaner, while coffee grounds often get into the cup when using a filter, which is unpleasant. Some people think that the filter paper will filter out the aromatic oils in the coffee, as well as the unpleasant filter paper smell. However, the controversy over these flavors is purely a matter of personal preference. No problem with either approach.
What is the difference between drip coffee and espresso?
It only takes ten seconds for the espresso to lose its original flavor, so people who order this drink usually finish it quickly. In the former, the flavor will last much longer. Many fancy coffees, such as lattes, are made with espresso as the core, but drip coffee cannot. In terms of portion size, espresso is usually divided into single and double portions, which means there is only one ounce or two ounces in a cup. But drip coffee is divided into large, medium and small cups. Regarding the coffee beans used, not all coffee beans can be used to make espresso, but the beans that can be used to make espresso can be used to make drip coffee. As for the degree of grinding of coffee beans, espresso needs three degrees, and drip coffee needs seven or five degrees. It depends on whether the funnel for brewing coffee is conical or flat-bottomed.
The ideal brewing water temperature for most coffee is between 88 degrees and 92 degrees. Depending on the origin of the coffee beans and the degree of roasting, the best brewing water temperature will be different, but it is basically within this range. If the water temperature is too low, the coffee will not be extracted enough and it will be sour. If the water temperature is too high, the coffee will be over-extracted and the coffee will be bitter.
Lightly roasted coffee beans will highlight the floral aroma and fruit acid in the coffee. The water temperature of Front Street Pour over(V60) medium and dark roasted coffee beans is 88 degrees; the medium roasted coffee will have a relatively balanced flavor, with a more obvious nutty flavor. Dark roasted beans emphasize body and chocolate flavor, while medium and light roasted coffee beans have a water temperature of 91 degrees.
Knowing this principle, if you use an electric coffee pot and the power of the coffee pot is relatively small, you should try to choose coffee with lower acidity and darker roasting for brewing.
Brewing drip coffee by hand is also easy and inexpensive. A good coffee grinder can grind coffee beans into relatively uniform powder, a kettle can boil water, and then you need something that can filter coffee powder. There are many types of filters, some with filter paper and some without filter paper. Filter paper is quite controversial. Some people think that coffee filtered through filter paper tastes cleaner, while coffee grounds often get into the cup when using a filter, which is unpleasant. Some people think that the filter paper will filter out the aromatic oils in the coffee, as well as the unpleasant filter paper smell. However, the controversy over these flavors is purely a matter of personal preference.
The drip filter is characterized by continuous extraction through water injection. In addition to being affected by the time factor, the size and height of the water injection are also one of the factors that affect the taste of coffee.
Drip coffee was the coffee that people in most parts of the world were used to drinking before Italian coffee became popular, except for the Arab region and the Balkans. The taste of this kind of coffee is much lighter than that of espresso, but it may be easier for beginners to drink coffee. Because the making of espresso is too complicated, few people can master it well. So although Italian coffee seems to be popular all over the world, by far the most people drink drip coffee. Especially when making coffee at home and personally, drip coffee is also the most traditional and easiest to make coffee. There is no stratification, the taste is pure, and the quality is uniform. This is because without the influence of pressure, hot water can more fully absorb coffee oils and aromatic substances, making the coffee taste softer.
Perhaps drip coffee, a relatively weak coffee, is easier to accept for people who are new to coffee, and it is also a common way to make coffee at home. Of course, the choice between these two types of coffee also depends on your personal preference. Some people like the silky taste of milk-based coffee, while others like the pure taste of drip coffee.
For example: these two cups are commonly used for Front Street brewing, one is V60 and the other is KONO cup.
The V60 cup is very suitable for emphasizing the acidity and floral aroma of coffee. Although it uses filter paper, it can still retain a considerable amount of coffee oil through the V60 and retain the body. For example: Front Street Ethiopian Coffee, Front Street Kenyan Coffee, Front Street Panama Gesha Coffee, etc.

Front Street Ethexi Damo Oiran Coffee is lightly roasted, and the coffee beans are hard in texture. It requires high-temperature hot water of 91°C to bring out the floral and fruity flavors in the coffee. Grinding Front Street recommends medium to fine grinding (Chinese standard No. 20 screen pass rate 80%). If it is too coarse, the mellow substances cannot be extracted, and the brewed coffee will appear thin. If it is too fine, it will easily be over-extracted at high water temperature, and the brewed coffee will be prone to bitterness.

The KONO cup is very suitable for brewing medium-dark roasted coffee beans, which can highlight the mellow and smooth taste of the coffee beans. For example: Front Street Blue Mountain Coffee, Front Street Mandheling Coffee, Front Street Colombian Cymbidium Coffee, etc.
Parameters for brewing Mandheling coffee on Front Street:
Front Street uses a KONO filter cup to brew Mandheling coffee. The KONO rib stops when it is less than half the height of the filter cup. This design is actually to ensure that the filter cup sticks to the wall of the filter cup after being wetted with water, limiting the air flow. This will increase the time for the coffee powder particles to absorb water, so that the extracted coffee is more uniform overall and improves the mellow taste.
KONO filter cup, water temperature of 88 degrees Celsius, powder to water ratio of 1:15, 15g of coffee powder, grinding degree (75% pass rate of No. 20 standard sieve), three-stage extraction.
Using segmented extraction, use 2 times the amount of coffee powder for steaming, that is, 30 grams of water is steamed for 30 seconds. The reason why the steaming process is required is to allow the coffee powder to discharge the internal carbon dioxide gas, thereby making the subsequent extraction more stable. Use a small flow of water in a circle to inject water in stages until 125 grams is reached. Continue to inject water until 225 grams and stop. When the water in the filter cup has finished dripping, remove the filter cup. Start timing from the water injection. The extraction time is 2'00'. Next, pick up the entire cup of coffee and shake it evenly, then pour it into the cup and taste it.

Front Street Brewing Coffee Suggestions:
No matter what kind of coffee you brew, the freshness of the coffee beans is very important. Front Street has always believed that the freshness of coffee beans has a great relationship with the flavor of coffee. Therefore, the coffee beans shipped by Front Street Coffee are all roasted within 5 days. The purpose of Front Street Roasting is "freshly roasted and good coffee", so that every customer who orders receives the freshest coffee. The bean-growing period of coffee is about 4-7 days, so the flavor is at its best when customers get it.
For those who need to grind the coffee beans, Front Street would like to remind you that if the coffee beans are ground in advance, there is no need to raise the beans. Because during the transportation process, the pressure generated by the carbon dioxide in the packaging can also make the coffee flavor mellower, so you can make a cup of coffee immediately after receiving the coffee powder. But the coffee powder needs to be brewed in time, because the coffee powder oxidizes quickly when exposed to air, which means that the flavor of the coffee will dissipate relatively quickly, and the flavor of the coffee will not be so good. Therefore, Front Street recommends buying whole beans and grinding them freshly, so that you can better taste the flavor of the coffee.
