What is a Drip Coffee Maker?

A drip coffee maker consists of four parts: a boiler, water tank, filter basket to hold the ground coffee and a carafe. The maker sits on a heated plate during the brewing process in order to maintain the temperature of the coffee.

The drip coffee maker works by heating up cold water until it creates steam that rises through to the filter basket holding the ground coffee. The steam condenses, turning into hot water that causes the coffee grinds to seep through the filter as the water absorbs its flavour and aroma. Once this process finishes, the coffee is ready.
How do you make the perfect drip coffee?
Making the perfect drip coffee comes down to achieving the golden water to grinds ratio- 1:15-18. For one gram of coffee, the recommended amount of water is 15-18 grams of water.

For this reason, the ideal coffee grind is over 15 times smaller than that used for espresso.
