Brewing Coffee

  1. 1

    Measure Coffee Grounds

    Measure out 0.5 cups of coffee grounds using a measuring cup.

  2. 2

    Boil Water

    In a kettle or pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. This will be used to brew the coffee.

  3. 3

    Combine Coffee Grounds and Water

    In a coffee maker or French press, add the measured coffee grounds. Slowly pour the boiling water over the coffee grounds.

  4. 4

    Steep or Brew

    Allow the coffee to steep for about 4-5 minutes if using a French press, or follow the instructions of your coffee maker.

  5. 5

    Press or Filter

    If using a French press, press down the plunger to separate the grounds from the brewed coffee. If using a coffee maker, simply wait for the brewing process to finish.

    Serve

    Pour the freshly brewed coffee into cups.
