How to Brew the Best Pour-Over Drip Bag Coffee
TL;DR: Open, Set, Pour, Enjoy!
- Like stronger coffee? Add less water!
- Do not submerge filter directly in liquid for more than one minute.
- Handle with care. Keep drip bags uncrushed and free from heavy pressure during travel.
You Will Need:
-
1 KNDZ COFFEE drip bag
-
1 tall mug (best size: ~3.1"/8 cm wide opening)
-
hot water
-
a kettle with a narrow spout for slower pouring
Brewing Steps:
-
Start boiling water.
-
Gently tear open the top of the drip bag.
-
Gently unfold the paper arms to avoid damaging the filter and hang the drip bag on your mug. Ensure both arms are fully extended and secure on your cup before brewing.
-
Take your boiling water off the heat after it boils and wait 1-2 minutes (best temperature: ~90°C/194°F).
-
Wet all the coffee grounds and wait 30 seconds to let the coffee bloom (around 30 ml/1 oz/2 tbsp of water).
-
Pour water slowly in small circles and refill to 3/4 of the bag approximately 3 times (around 170 ml/6 oz/0.7 cups of water total). This will keep the pressure low and water filtering speed slow so the final coffee concentration is higher.
-
When dripping stops, remove the drip bag by pinching both side arms of the bag at once.
-
Drink with your favourite condiments like milk or sugar. Enjoy!
KNDZ Coffee FAQs - Drip Bag & Pour-Over Questions
1. Why isn’t KNDZ COFFEE Fair Trade or Organic?
Certification for Organic and Fair Trade is expensive and often out of reach for small specialty farms. Many farmers already use sustainable practices but can’t afford the years of paperwork, audits, and annual fees required for certification.
In specialty coffee, direct trade is preferred. Farmers are paid well above Fair Trade prices (often more than double) through transparent, long-term relationships that focus on quality and traceability, not labels.
Fair Trade was designed for commodity coffee, while specialty coffee prioritizes flavour (80+ cupping scores) and ethical pricing. Organic certification also doesn’t guarantee better quality or health benefits and is often more about marketing.
We pay farmers more than Fair Trade standards, so a certification stamp isn’t necessary.
2. How do you define specialty?
Not only do the beans need to be specialty grade (above 80 points on a 100-point scale), but the roasting process must also follow strict specialty standards. Many coffee brands purchase specialty beans, yet their roasting and brewing methods do not consistently meet true specialty-grade standards.
3. Why is specialty coffee more expensive?
Specialty coffee is carefully handled at every step. Many beans are dried by hand on raised beds, a process that’s labour-intensive and requires more space and time. This extra care helps preserve flavour and quality, which is why specialty coffee costs more than commercial-grade coffee.
4. Is your coffee single origin? Why not?
Our coffee is intentionally blended using Ethiopian and Colombian beans, not single origin.
Blending allows us to combine the strengths of both origins. Ethiopia’s bright, fruity notes and Colombia’s balanced body and sweetness are combined to create a smooth, everyday cup that’s not too bitter and not too sour.
It also helps us maintain flavour consistency. If one batch varies, we can adjust the blend to keep the taste familiar. With single origin coffee, any issue from one farm could dramatically change the flavour.
5. Why Ethiopian and Colombian coffee?
Ethiopia and Colombia are two of the most established coffee-producing countries, known for their mature farming practices and consistent quality.
-
Ethiopian coffee is known for bright, fruity, and floral notes
-
Colombian coffee is known for balance, sweetness, and body
Blending the two creates a smooth, well-rounded cup that’s flavourful and easy to drink every day.
6. What is a Q Grader, and why does it matter?
A Q Grader is a certified coffee expert trained to evaluate quality and flavour. Our blends were developed with one to ensure every cup meets specialty-grade standards.
7. What are your drip bags made of?
Our drip filter bags are made from high-temperature-resistant PP and PET non-woven fabric imported from Japan. They’re certified and licensed for food use, and are bonded without glue or added chemicals. They are also recyclable.
8. How do I dispose of the drip bag?
The drip bag is fully recyclable. After brewing, follow the steps below:
-
Shake or scrape out as much of the used coffee grounds as possible and place them in your compost.
-
Let the bag dry briefly to help reduce moisture and odour.
-
Once emptied, place the drip bag in your recycling bin or regular household garbage.
Waste guidelines may vary by municipality, so be sure to follow your local recycling and disposal rules.
We like to reuse the coffee grounds:
-
Compost them in our garden soil
-
Put them in our fridge as a deodorizer
-
Rub them our fingers to remove garlic and onion smells
9. What natural flavour do you use?
When we say “infused with natural flavour,” it means we add natural flavouring derived from real sources (such as vanilla extracts and other plant-based flavour compounds) to enhance the aroma and taste of the coffee.
It’s similar to how brands like sparkling water companies add natural fruit flavours to create a consistent and pleasant taste. The flavour is not made from artificial chemicals, but from naturally derived flavour compounds.
This approach helps us create a balanced, smooth, and consistent coffee experience in every cup, while keeping the flavour approachable and enjoyable. It’s a great option for people who love the taste of coffee but prefer something a little smoother, milder, and more aromatic.
10. Do you test your coffee for mold or toxins?
Coffee is actually considered a very low-risk product when it comes to mold and toxins, especially when proper sourcing and roasting standards are followed.
At KNDZ, our beans are carefully inspected and graded before roasting. We work with a trained Q-grader who evaluates the green beans and removes any defective beans before they ever reach the roasting stage. This is a standard quality control practice in specialty coffee.
After roasting, the coffee is stored and packaged using food-grade processes to ensure freshness and quality all the way to your cup.
Because we work with specialty-grade beans and professional quality grading, we’re confident in the quality and safety of the coffee we serve.
