What is Hand Drip Coffee?

Hand drip coffee is also called pour over coffee or filter coffee. This brewing method is simply pouring hot water through coffee grounds in a filter and the water drains through the coffee grounds and filter into a carafe or mug. The recipes for it, as well as equipment within a hand drip coffee set are diverse.

Different hand drip coffee equipment and the coffee to water ratio can change the flavours and aroma of the coffee. Hand drip coffee in Hong Kong is popular for single origin coffee because it can brighten the taste. Unlike espressos, hand drip coffee is clean and clear. Coffee will excrete oil and fragrances during brewing, but the filter can catch lots of oils, and this is the reason leading to a clean cup. Since most of the oils will be left in the dripper, oily dark roast coffee is not recommended for making the hand drip coffee pot.
