Drip coffee. This term stands for coffee revolution, fresh and fragrant single origins of highest quality, delicious taste and slow coffee. When you first discover these new and delicious taste territories, you can\u2019t overlook drip coffee and its influence on alternative brewing.<\/big><\/strong><\/p>\n

Old novelty<\/h2>\n

What is drip coffee? This depends on how we look at it. Technically, it is any appliance which uses filters and pours water over ground beans to make coffee. So it can be the Hario V60, Chemex, Wilfa Svart Manuell, Chomka, Melitta, Kalita, but also any no-name product.<\/p>\n

The word drip means to fall in small drops. Well-brewed coffee, however, shouldn\u2019t drip, but rather fall freely in a single thin stream. But let\u2019s leave it for now; first, we need to discuss another really important matter.<\/p>\n

\"dripper,
The Hario V60 Copper Coffee Dripper looks nice!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I mentioned the technical side. And yet, theory is one thing; practice and habits are another. It is customary to use the word \u2018dripper\u2019, meaning by that just one particular device: the Hario V60 which we mentioned in the first paragraph.<\/p>\n

Why V60? V stands for cone-shaped filers, whereas 60 represents the sloping angle of the dripper\u2019s sides. Simple!<\/div>\n

This dripper was brought to the coffee geeks\u2019 attention by the third-wave coffee revolution, which is all about quality coffee and pour-over methods in place of espresso italiano. This is also where the name of alternative brewing comes from: coffees made this way are alternative to those brewed in a pressure coffee maker. Paradoxically, the pour-overs were invented earlier, but lost their importance due to the popularity of Italian espresso.<\/p>\n

So the V60 Dripper<\/h2>\n

Since, for the sake of the text, we have already made this complicated story a bit simpler, let\u2019s now consider our social practices and say more about the dripper or, in other words, the V60. Which, in my opinion, is one of the simplest and best ways of making good coffee.<\/p>\n

Of course, there are other brewing methods great for the beginning and easier to follow, such as the AeroPress. The dripper, however, gives you more opportunities and helps you discover the light, sweet and clear nature of homogenous coffees.<\/p>\n

Shapes, sizes, materials\u2026<\/h2>\n

When you first start looking for your dripper, you will notice that the choice is very wide. You can choose between ceramics, glass, metal or plastics. You will soon come across the latter when searching for the V60, especially\u00a0 from Hario.<\/p>\n

Pouring hot water through the filters before brewing is extremely important!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

How do they differ and does this really impact on the brewing process and the taste of the cup? You should actually begin by considering your preferences and the size of your wallet. In case of the Hario drippers, their structure, size and ribbing are identical, regardless of whether they are made of glass or plastics. What you may want to consider is temperature stability while brewing. However, when you brew drip coffee at home, not outside in the cold, wind or rain, the materials the device is made of don\u2019t matter so much anymore. The more so since the appliance should be warmed up before each use; we\u2019ll talk about it later.<\/p>\n
