Drip machines are the most common brewing method. If you choose to grind your own beans which is ultimately the best way to get the most out of your coffee, we would recommend grinding approximately 2.5oz (8 tablespoons) of coffee using a medium grind setting. Since coffee is mostly water, we suggest filling your pot up between the 8-10 mark with cold, filtered spring water. You can vary the amount of water depending on how light or dark you prefer your coffee to be.

If you choose to use a drip machine to brew your coffee we suggest using permanent filters instead of paper filters. Permanent filters will preserve the flavor and aroma of your coffee better then a paper filter and eliminate any possible paper flavor.
