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 reviewHad some trouble with my mailing address and customer support was very patient and responsive
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.
Quick, responsive and helpful customer services. Quality coffee that taste and smells wonderful
Subscribed to their weekly coffee beans. Beans are good, and overall a pleasant experience.
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.
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.
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
Coffee with origins and no regrets trying out! Grind is consistent, the fragrant and beans are all fresh!
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!
It’s so convenient to make my regular cup at home with a coffee subscription. Yasumi coffee provides a satisfying cup of coffee with great customer service. Extending my subscription is a breeze, whenever I can’t finish my coffee in time… this ensures I get the best roast possible.
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.
Coffee smells is good and aromatic. Even though I left it quite long but the coffee smells still lingers l.
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!
I love the coffee beans roasted by Yasumi coffee. Great taste and quality.
One of my favourite coffee subscription services in Singapore: user-friendly interface, great rewards for continued subscription, and most important of all, I enjoy the beans!
Love the coffee beans and the flexibility to choose the type of beans as well as when I want the beans to be delivered
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.
Love the customer service from Yasumi. Have tried Brazil dark roast, Colombia and Nicaragua coffee beans. Enjoyed all 3 roasts very much. Yasumi coffee beans is of great quality. Amazing aromas!
Great coffee subscription service and very fuss-free. The beans they use are freshly roasted :)
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.
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.
Love the coffee, always flexible to change the coffee flavour and comes in time!
great coffee and service. a little in the expensive end but they deliver in terms of quality
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.
The ease of coffee subscription cannot get any easier and fuss free. Not to mention the coffee taste superb. The coffee packet is almost always empty.
Love the freshly roasted coffee beans and warm customer service! Recommend to try!
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.
Tried the Brazil coffee. Great nutty taste and smell. Received on same day of the roast too. Fast delivery
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.
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!
Got an extra 60g of coffee in the trial subscription to try out. Can’t wait to try out the different beans!
Great coffee and customer service. They have a good selection of coffee as well.
I started with the free trial and got hooked! Already tried 3 of 6 of their coffee and 4th one awaiting to be delivered. Beans are well roasted, flavourful and fresh.
Coffee is freshly roasted and I always receive them very swiftly! Appreciate the friendly and responsive customer support as well :) Very honest, local roasters!
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 :)
Great coffee and service! Flexible coffee subscriptions and their Coffee Tour lets you try many different types of beans every order
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.
