Preparation
Cold drip coffee is not just cold coffee – on the contrary, this
special preparation method will provide you with a very special
taste sensation. The fl avours and oils are slowly extracted from
the coffee over many hours. As no heat at all is used here, far
fewer bitter compounds can be released from the coffee, which
means that the complex notes of the coffee can be displayed in
full and you can enjoy your favourite coffee in an entirely new
way: from woody to fruity, from earthy to chocolaty.
You will fi nd tips on dosage and preparation in our "Tips
for the Perfect Cold Drip Coffee" on the following pages.
1. Place the permanent fi lter in the coffee container. Make
sure that it fi ts correctly.
2. Fill the coffee container with the desired amount of freshly
ground coffee. Do not pour too much powder into the
coffee container as in due course it will bloom. And do not
press the powder down too much as otherwise the water
cannot pass through it.
We recommend 25 g of ground coffee per 250 ml of
water. You will fi nd more information on this in the next
chapter.
3. Moisten the surface of the coffee powder with a little water.
This encourages even extraction throughout the coffee
container.
If you use very coarsely ground coffee or a small amount
of powder, we recommend placing a paper fi lter on the
coffee so that the water can distribute more evenly.
4. Place the lid on the coffee container and then place it on
the coffee jug.
