Drip

Thorne and Thatches' Roasters Notes:

They call drip the heartbeat of Boot Hill… steady, patient, and honest. the drip machine’s the workhorse of the saloon… steady, uncomplaining, and always ready before the rooster crows. It’s not fancy, but neither are the men and women who keep this town alive. This is coffee built for workin’ hands and weary souls. it just does its job, one drop at a time. â€‹

​

Our roast for drip carries that same creed.
Medium-dark, fire-kissed but never charred. When the bloom rises, it breathes out notes of burnt sugar. There’s a sweetness hiding within the grounds… something earned, not given.

​

We roast each batch in our old drum, listening for the bean’s hymn… that faint crack that says it’s ready to shed its shell and tell its story. Some folks hear a pop; we hear a confession.

​

This one’s brewed for the ones who rise before the dawn fog burns off, who’ve got more scars than excuses, and who still find time to breathe deep before the day begins. It ain’t fancy… but neither is truth.

Thorne and Thatches' Guide To: Drip

What You’ll Need:

​

  • Boot Hill Drip Machine (any good brewer’ll do — just make sure it’s clean and loyal)

  • #4 paper filter (rinsed clean with hot water)

  • Fresh Boot Hill Coffee, medium grind (like coarse sand, not dust)

  • Scale or spoon

  • Mug or thermos that’s seen a few miles

  • 1 gram of coffee to 16 grams of water (roughly 2 tablespoons per 6 ounces of water)

 

Method

​

  1. Heat the Water
    Bring fresh, filtered water to 200°F... just off a boil.
    (If you hear it hiss but not scream, it’s ready.)

  2. Prep the Filter
    Place the paper filter in the basket and pour hot water through it.
    This gets rid of that papery taste and warms the brewer.
    Dump the rinse water... Boot Hill don’t take kindly to shortcuts.

  3. Load the Grounds
    Add your freshly ground beans. Tap the basket to level ‘em out like a gunslinger setting his sights.

  4. Start the Brew
    Pour your water in slow, steady streams... or let the machine do the pouring if you trust it.
    The bloom will rise, a puff of steam like gun smoke after the first shot.

  5. Wait It Out
    The drip’s no race. It’s a quiet ritual... a minute or two of reflection before the day claws its way back in.

  6. Pour and Enjoy
    Serve black, or with a splash of cream if you’re soft-hearted.
