Coffee Ingredients

Optional Add-ins

Method

Brewing Coffee

  1. 1

    Measure Coffee Beans

    Start by measuring out 1 cup of medium roast coffee beans. Make sure to use fresh beans for the best flavor.

  2. 2

    Grind Coffee

    Grind the coffee beans to a medium coarseness using a coffee grinder. This should resemble granulated sugar in texture.

  3. 3

    Boil Water

    In a kettle or pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and let it cool for about 30 seconds to reach the optimal brewing temperature (around 200°F or 93°C).

  4. 4

    Prepare Coffee Maker

    Place a coffee filter in your drip coffee maker and add the ground coffee into the filter. Make sure to evenly distribute the grounds for a consistent brew.

  5. 5

    Brew Coffee

    Pour the hot water slowly over the coffee grounds in the filter. Let it brew for about 4-5 minutes, allowing the water to extract the flavors from the coffee.

  6. 6

    Serve Coffee

    Once the brewing process is complete, discard the used coffee grounds and filter. Pour the freshly brewed coffee into your favorite mug.

Add Optional Ingredients

  1. 7

    Add Sugar

    If desired, add sugar to taste. Stir well to ensure it dissolves completely.

  2. 8

    Add Milk or Cream

    For a creamier texture, add milk or cream to taste. Adjust according to your preference.
