dryppere

Dryppere is a Norwegian term that translates to "drip" or "dripper" in English. It most commonly refers to a type of coffee maker, specifically a pour-over coffee device. In this context, a drypper is a manual brewing method where hot water is poured slowly over coffee grounds contained in a filter. The water then drips through the grounds and filter into a vessel below, resulting in brewed coffee.

The design of a drypper can vary, but often consists of a cone-shaped holder for the filter and coffee grounds, which is placed on top of a carafe or mug. Materials commonly used for dryppers include ceramic, glass, metal, or plastic. The process of using a drypper requires attention to detail, including the grind size of the coffee, the temperature of the water, and the rate at which the water is poured. These factors influence the extraction of flavor from the coffee grounds and ultimately the taste of the final brew.

Beyond coffee, the term dryppere can also be used more generally to describe any object or mechanism that allows liquid to drip or trickle. This could include items like certain types of watering systems for plants or even medical devices for administering fluids intravenously, although its primary association in everyday language is with coffee brewing.
