Method

Brewed Coffee

1

Measure

Measure 0.05 cups (about 1 level tablespoon, ~8–9 g) of freshly ground coffee. Use a medium grind for drip or filter, slightly coarser for a French press, and finer for espresso.

2

Heat water

Heat 0.85 cups (about 200 ml) of fresh cold water to just off a boil (around 90–96°C / 195–205°F). If using a kettle, let the water sit 30 seconds after boiling.

3

Brew

Place the ground coffee in your chosen brewer (filter cone, French press, pour-over, or espresso basket). Pour hot water evenly over grounds to fully saturate, then continue pouring in a steady spiral until you've added all the water (for pour-over). For French press, pour water, stir gently, steep 3–4 minutes, then press. For drip/automatic machine, follow the machine's standard cycle.

4

Strain/Finish

If using pour-over or French press, let coffee finish dripping or press the plunger. For drip or espresso, stop the machine when brewing is complete. Pour the brewed coffee into a pre-warmed cup.

Add-ins / Serving

5

Sweeten and lighten

Add 2 tablespoons of milk or cream and 1 teaspoon of sugar to the hot coffee. Stir until sugar dissolves and milk is evenly incorporated. Adjust quantity to taste.

6

Optional garnish

If desired, sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of cocoa powder or ground cinnamon on top. Serve immediately while hot.
