Drip coffee, with its clean taste and tantalizing aroma, holds a special place in the hearts of coffee enthusiasts worldwide. However, achieving the perfect cup requires attention to detail, the right equipment, and a little patience. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to make your perfect drip coffee.
Before getting started, make sure you have the following items on hand:
Select high-quality, freshly roasted beans for the best results. The coffee's flavor will depend on the origin of the beans, their roast level, and the freshness of the roast.
Grind your coffee beans to a medium grind size. It should be about the consistency of coarse sand. If the grind is too fine, the water will not filter through properly, resulting in over-extracted, bitter coffee.
Place a coffee filter in the drip cone or coffee maker. If you're using a paper filter, consider rinsing it with hot water first to remove any papery taste.
The general guideline is to use one to two tablespoons of coffee per six ounces of water, but you can adjust this to taste. Spread the grounds evenly to ensure balanced extraction.
Boil fresh, clean water. If your tap water has a strong taste or odor, consider using filtered or bottled water.
Once your water is boiled, pour it evenly over the coffee grounds. The hot water will extract the coffee flavors and flow through the filter into your cup or carafe.
Wait until all the water has dripped down into your cup before removing the filter. Give your coffee a quick stir to blend the flavors, then savor it while it's hot.
Remember, coffee is a matter of personal taste. This guide is a starting point, but don't be afraid to experiment with different coffee beans, grind sizes, and coffee-to-water ratios until you find your perfect brew. Happy brewing!

star reviewThere customer service was excellent, they were able to resolve the issues the raised regarding my subscription
Love the freshly roasted coffee beans and warm customer service! Recommend to try!
great coffee and service. a little in the expensive end but they deliver in terms of quality
Very quick response to my question that is accurately and clearly explained. The professionally designed online platform is customer centric and paid attention to details. I hope the coffee I’ll be receiving will be as good if not exceed my expectations. Pretty sure it will. Looking forward to my caffeine fix soon! Yes! Got my coffee earlier than expected. Got my caffeine fixed. Love the taste and can’t ask for more.
Just brewed a cup of Tropic Daydream. Wonderful blend, so delicious. Right amount of acidity and body. Great customer service and responds to email timely. Thanks for the rebates as well.
I can smell the coffee once I received the package. I can't wait to try it. The first thing I do the nexr morning was to make myself a cup of coffee. Yes, it didn't disappoint me. The bittersweetness is just nice..
Indonesian coffee was light roasted and flavourful. Yasumi has varied coffee bean varieties to suit different tastes. Subscription model is convenient and has a lot of discount perks for regulars.
Coffee subscription is affordable and convenient. Got single origin beans from Rwanda and tasting notes were true to description. Method of brewing: v60. Recommended to try.
Subscribed to their weekly coffee beans. Beans are good, and overall a pleasant experience.
Great coffee and customer service. They have a good selection of coffee as well.
Tried almost all the different coffee origins available. Loved the Indonesian, Columbian and Ethiopian ones best. Delivery direct to mailbox has been flawless. Online platform for subscription changes and promo codes is very convenient. Started out wanting to get the free trial only but have been continually hooked onto their service!
Chanced upon Yasumi on Instagram and decided to give them a try — was pleasantly surprised by an extra sample bag given and also the cards describing the coffee's tasting notes and processing description etc. Will definitely be repurchasing :)
Quick, responsive and helpful customer services. Quality coffee that taste and smells wonderful
Easy to use subscription website. Initial thoughts on the ethiopia beans for filter was that it was abit roasty, but after some dialing in it was really quite good, the blueberry notes were quite prominent. Coffee came with nice cards.
The delivery was fast. The beans was freshly roasted and the quality of the beans was good. I also received a free sample bag of coffee which i really appreciated
Love the coffee beans and the flexibility to choose the type of beans as well as when I want the beans to be delivered
The trial pack is of course of great value and the experience of buying from Yasumi is seamless. The "Rwanda" washed coffee is a great filter roast.
Fuss-free coffee subscription! Love that I can easily switch up my beans, its grind, the schedule of roast and delivery. Most importantly, I’m pleased with the aroma and taste of the beans I got!
I ordered a trial size of Brazilian coffee beans, and it arrived the day after roasting along with 60g of Tropic Daydream. Surprisingly, I found that I liked the Tropic Daydream even more! The whole beans were incredibly fresh and fragrant even before grinding. When I tried an espresso with oat milk, it tasted just like a latte from a cafe, but at only half the price and with 100% freshness. Today, experimenting with a coarser grind resulted in a lighter coffee taste. The convenience of the coffee beans subscription is a bonus; I can enjoy different beans every 6 weeks, and refills come directly to my house.
I like how Yasumi makes it easy for the customer to make a purchase and understand the product with its user friendly interface and clear product description. it also help that they usually give some discount code to offset next subscribed order / purchase!
Great coffee subscription service and very fuss-free. The beans they use are freshly roasted :)
The subscription service is fuss-free and you can easily change your next delivery date/beans via the website. No need for multiple emails back and forth and efficiency of updating the notice is great.
I ordered a trial subscription. The package came fast and the beans were well packed (despite being unregistered mail). The additional 60g X'mas sample was a nice surprise as it was meant to be a 120g trial and I actually really liked it. Usually do pourover or espresso at home with a hand grinder.
Had some trouble with my mailing address and customer support was very patient and responsive
Completely hooked! One of my joys now is to look forward to my coffee delivery and indulged in that addictive aroma. The coffee bean are roasted to perfection. No any other coffee bean come close.
I do really love the YASUMI Coffee! It brings much much convenient for me, I have an espresso machine at home, so I could make a great cup of coffee everyday. Fresh grind the whole bean, fresh brew the double shot, fresh steam the milk, and then, a fresh cup of specialty coffee. I have order with YASUMI coffee since last year, which Im really happy with the fresh whole bean which deliver to my mail box everytime! and the teams are so cute that everytime will send you an email to inform you that your coffee is going to roast, going to deliver. And the other thing I like YASUMI is becuz they are very flexible which I could skip the slot when I need to travel. Appreciate a lot!
Tried the Brazil coffee. Great nutty taste and smell. Received on same day of the roast too. Fast delivery
Coffee with origins and no regrets trying out! Grind is consistent, the fragrant and beans are all fresh!
The package of coffee comes with tasting notes and coffee info. The coffee itself smells super good and the brewed coffee I chose is very smooth and less acidic. Perfect!
We enjoy the latte so much brew with yasumi Colombia bean! After a trial I've decided to keep the subscription and receive the fresh high quality coffee bean regularly.
Coffee smells is good and aromatic. Even though I left it quite long but the coffee smells still lingers l.
A great coffee subscription service that makes my daily coffee a breeze - particularly love the ability to delay a delivery by a week or two so I can finish my existing beans before new ones arrive!
I love the coffee beans roasted by Yasumi coffee. Great taste and quality.
Updated review on 18/4: The support team has reached promptly to explain the delayed shipment. Mentioned that my shipment was delayed because I placed an order after their roasting date, which I find the explanation satisfactory. And I received my subscription of coffee yesterday. It tasted great. Excellent service recovery team Yasumi 👌 Earlier review on 14/4: My subscription is due for renewal in 1 day but my earlier order hasn't been received despite placing an order 1 week ago. I don't like to be charged for a renewal product when my earlier product hasn't been shipped out and received. I will consider changing my review when the management looks into this. I have cancelled my earlier subscription.
Coffee is freshly roasted and I always receive them very swiftly! Appreciate the friendly and responsive customer support as well :) Very honest, local roasters!
Decided to try Yasumi as i cam across their page, got a free bag of beans to try and i tried it today. Pretty convinced to continue my subscription with them👍🏻
I got very good coffee bean quality with a reasonable price from Yasumi. Highly recommended.
Signed up for the trial and only paid $0.99 for delivery. Received the coffee promptly after a few days in my letterbox. Packaging is SO cute and they even included tasting notes of the coffee beans sent! They even included a sample of another coffee bean for free :') Coffee beans were freshly roasted and smelt amazing when they arrived too :)
Finally order my first trial coffee from Yasumi. The moment I open the package . The coffee smells so good, love the fruity taste
I've tried different coffee subscription services before, and Yasumi is the best I've used. I make espressos at home, and their beans are excellent. I've had to ask for help with my subscription before and they were always very helpful and patient.
