Please see below on how to brew Grand Cru Cafe by using paper filter dripping. Because the coffee beans selected as Grand Cru Cafe are much higher in density than average coffee beans, the exactly measured amount, or rather an ample amount, of coarsely ground Grand Cru Cafe with a short time of brewing is recommended.

1. Use of Soft Water with Weak Acid

Tap water may be used but a water purifier is recommended. Use of water pH7 or higher (neutral or toward alkali) would weaken the coffee’s acidity.

2. Selecting a Drip Pot

A drip pot with a spout thick at the root and thinner toward its end is recommended for easy hot-water measuring.

3. Selecting a Dripper

A plastic dripper with more than two holes, instead of a porcelain one, is recommended.

4. Always Keep Your Coffee Mill Clean

Avoid a coffee mill that creates coffee dust. Disassemble your mill from time to time and clean it.

Coffee dust hampers not only uniform grinding but also degenerates inside your mill and can damage coffee flavor. 

5. Generous Amount of Beans and Coarse Grinding

Measure 20 grams (0.7 oz) for a cup, 36 grams (1.26 oz) for 2 cups and 48 grams (1.69 oz) for 3 cups. You may use the measuring cup that comes with Grand Cru Cafe.

While the level of grinding is up to you, a generous measurement of beans and coarse (like granular sugar crystals) grinding are recommended.

6. Pouring Hot Water

Boil water, roughly 200 cc (6.76 fluid oz) per cup. Pour boiled water into the dripper slowly till the coffee starts dripping, and stop pouring for about 30 seconds. Then, start pouring till the surface expands. Pour boiled water to the dripper as if writing the letter “e,” more for the center and less for the edge. Keep pouring so as not to let the brewed coffee stop dripping from the dripper. Repeat the whole process, and you will get approximately 150 cc (5 fluid oz) of brewed coffee.
