Making drip bag coffee for two

Drip bags are single-serve by design, so for two people the simplest approach is one bag per cup, brewed separately at 150 ml each. Want one larger shared pot? Two bags handle roughly 300 ml at balanced strength — brew them side by side into the same carafe, or one after the other. Don't try to stretch a single bag across two mugs; you'll get two weak cups instead of one good one.

Set bags to 2 above for your exact water total.

Frequently asked questions

Can one drip bag make two cups?

Not well — a single 10 g bag only has enough coffee for one 150 ml cup. Splitting it across two mugs gives two weak, watery cups. Use one bag per cup.

How much coffee do two drip bags make?

Two 10 g bags make about 300 ml of balanced coffee — two normal cups, or one large shared mug.
