How do you brew a drip bag coffee for a consistent cup?

Front Street Drip Bag Coffee Brewing Suggestions

1. First, the net content of coffee grounds in Front Street drip bag coffee is clearly marked (usually 10 grams), so there is no need to worry about a grinder or electronic scale.

2. Next, address the water amount and water temperature. Consistent with pour-over coffee, use a coffee-to-water ratio of 1:15 to 1:16, and the final brewed coffee liquid should reach 140 to 150 milliliters. The water temperature is best at around 90°C, and a thermometer or temperature-controlled kettle should be used first if available; if not, it can also be roughly estimated—after the kettle boils, turn off the heat source and open the lid, let it sit for 2 to 3 minutes, and the water temperature will drop to about 90°C (at a room temperature of 28°C).

3. Once ready, take out the drip bag and tear open the sealed opening, unfold the "ears" on both ends of the filter bag, rest it on the rim of a mug or cup, and gently shake the coffee bed flat.

4. For the first pour, simply wet the entire coffee bed, then let it bloom for 30 seconds.

5. After the bloom ends, make the second pour, using a thin stream of water in a circular motion to fill it directly, and after the coffee bed drops slightly, continue pouring to the top, repeating this operation until the coffee liquid in the cup reaches 140 to 150 milliliters, then remove the drip bag and start enjoying. (If you want to control the water amount more precisely, you can also first pour 150 to 160 milliliters of water into the pouring kettle, pour all the water from the kettle during brewing, and remove the drip bag after the coffee liquid filters into the cup. The entire brewing process is completed in about 1 minute.)
