How Do You Brew Front Street Coffee Drip Bags for Floral Flavor?
Drip bag coffee suits drinkers who want a simple cup without equipment. Yirgacheffe lots are the floral option, and the Front Street Coffee lineup includes three: Washed Yirgacheffe with lemon, citrus, tea, honey, and berry notes; Washed Gutingding with citrus, berry, lemon, cane sugar, and green tea; and Natural Red Cherry with citrus, berry, fruity fermentation, honey, and a creamy mouthfeel.
Brewing follows the same basic steps each time: open the sachet, set the bag over a cup, and pour hot water in stages. Water temperature, the coffee-to-water ratio, and pouring rhythm determine whether the cup tastes thin or layered. Front Street uses beans within five days of roasting and ships within 24 hours of ordering, so the aromatics are still lively when the bag arrives, which helps when learning to brew in the bag coffee well.

How Should You Brew Front Street Coffee's Drip Bags?
Using drip bag coffee is very simple—just open the package and pour in hot water, and it's ready to enjoy. However, there are actually some small nuances to brewing drip bag coffee. Below, Front Street walks you through step by step how to brew a cup using the drip bag method that's just as good as what you'd get from a coffee shop.
1. Open the individually packaged Front Street Coffee drip bag and find the side of the packet printed with "OPEN HERE" and a dashed line.
2. Tear along the OPEN dashed line, and rest the drip bag on your usual cup or other container.
3. Prepare a kettle of water at 91°C. Front Street Coffee's single drip bag has a net weight of 10g. Front Street recommends a coffee-to-water ratio of 1:15 for drip bag brewing, so the flavor is at its best when you pour up to 150ml.
4. For the first pour, wet the coffee grounds in the drip bag roughly by pouring in a circular motion (about 20ml of water), then pause and wait for 20 seconds.
5. After 20 seconds, continue pouring in a circular motion until the total water reaches 150ml.
6. Finally, remove the drip bag and discard it. You can also add milk or sweetener to taste.
