Melitta Drip

| 40 grams coffee | 14oz | 12oz |
Grind the coffee. The grind should be soft but still a little gritty, fine enough that it forms into a clump when pressed between thumb and forefinger. Almost an espresso grind. One of the most common preparation errors in making filter drip is that the grind is too coarse.
Pour hot water through the empty filter into the cup to get rid of as much papery taste as possible and to warm up the filter and cup.
When water has drained from the empty filter, empty the hot water from your cup
Add ground coffee, and pour a pot full of water over the grounds.
Let the grounds expand for a few seconds.
While you are pouring, gently but steadily stir the grounds as the water runs through the filter. Stir. By stirring, you are extracting every speck of goodness from your coffee
When the coffee has drained from the filter, serve entire contents immediately. Do not let it sit. Do not reheat. Drink your coffee now.
