Drip brewing is the most popular method of coffee brewing, owing to the overwhelming popularity of the automatic drip brewing coffee machine. There are, however, several manual drip-brewing devices on the market, offering a little more control over brewing parameters than automatic machines.

Polly's Gourmet Coffee - Fresh Roasted Daily (1515 words)

This may be the result of differences in the brewing dynamics and chemistry of the two methods, or the the mechanical differences in brewing devices, such as filter type and performance.
The molecular dynamics of the extraction process may be different since extracted compounds remain in close proximity to the coffee grounds and increase in concentration as the brew cycle progresses, while in the drip method, water is constantly carrying the extracted compounds away from the grounds.
