Coffee Recipe

Brewing Coffee

1. 1

   Grind Coffee Beans

   Using a coffee grinder, grind the coffee beans to a medium-coarse consistency. This helps to extract the flavor optimally during brewing.

2. 2

   Measure Water

   Measure out 4 cups of fresh, filtered water. The quality of water can greatly affect the taste of the coffee.

3. 3

   Boil Water

   In a kettle or pot, bring the measured water to a boil. Once boiling, remove it from the heat to allow it to cool slightly (ideal brewing temperature is around 200°F or 93°C).

4. 4

   Brew Coffee

   In a coffee maker, French press, or pour-over setup, add the ground coffee. Pour the hot water over the coffee grounds, ensuring all grounds are saturated. Let it steep for about 4-5 minutes.

5. 5

   Strain Coffee

   If using a French press, gently press the plunger down to separate the grounds from the brewed coffee. If using a coffee maker, the coffee will automatically be filtered.

6. 6

   Add Optional Ingredients

   Taste the brewed coffee and add sugar, milk, or vanilla extract as desired. Stir well to combine.

7. 7

   Serve

   Pour the brewed coffee into a mug and enjoy it hot. You can also cool it for iced coffee.
