How to Use a Manual Drip Coffee Maker: A Step-by-Step Guide

If you’re new to using a manual drip coffee maker, don’t worry—it’s simpler than it sounds! Follow these steps to brew a delicious cup of coffee:

1. Add a Coffee Filter:
   • Place a coffee filter in the filter basket. Opt for a specialized filter provided by your coffee maker or a mesh filter if available. Avoid generic paper filters for consistent results.
2. Measure Coffee Grounds:
   • Use approximately 2 tablespoons of coffee grounds for every 6 ounces (180 ml) of water. Adjust based on your taste preferences.
   • Grind the coffee to a medium coarseness suitable for drip brewing.
3. Add Water:
   • Measure the desired amount of water using the markings on the coffee pot or the side of the coffee maker.
   • Pour the water into the designated compartment (usually behind or above the filter) rather than directly into the filter basket.
4. Turn On the Coffee Maker:
   • Plug in the coffee maker and turn it on. Some models start brewing automatically, while others have manual settings.
5. Wait for Brewing:
   • Allow the coffee maker to complete the brewing process. If your coffee maker has a “pause” setting, you can fill a cup before it finishes.
6. Discard the Filter:
   • If you used a paper filter, throw it away immediately after brewing to prevent bitterness.
   • For mesh filters, discard the coffee grounds and rinse the filter.
7. Enjoy Your Coffee:
   • Pour the freshly brewed coffee into your favorite mug and savor the aroma and flavor.
