How to Make Yemeni Coffee in a Drip Coffee Maker

October 25, 2026 · Al-Aqeeq Team

Quick answerUse about 2 level tablespoons (roughly 10 g) of medium-ground Yemeni coffee for every 6 oz (180 ml) of water, or about 60 g per 1-liter pot. Use fresh, filtered water, a clean machine, and drink the coffee within 30 minutes; don't leave it on the hot plate.

A drip machine is the easiest way to enjoy Al-Aqeeq every morning.

Steps

  1. Grind beans medium, like sand.
  2. Place a filter and add the coffee.
  3. Fill the reservoir with filtered water.
  4. Brew, then remove the pot from the warmer.
  5. Stir the pot before pouring for an even cup.

Tips for better drip coffee

  • Choose a machine that heats water to 92-96°C (SCA-certified brewers do).
  • Clean your machine monthly with descaler or vinegar.
  • Transfer coffee to a thermal carafe to avoid a burnt taste.
