Brewing Coffee

    Prepare the Coffee Grounds

    Measure 2 tablespoons of freshly ground coffee beans and place them in your coffee filter or French press.

  2. 2

    In a kettle, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. If you are using a French press, let the water cool for about 30 seconds after boiling.

  3. 3

    Brew the Coffee

    Pour the hot water over the coffee grounds evenly, ensuring all grounds are saturated. If using a French press, stir gently and let steep for 4 minutes before pressing down the plunger.
