Coffee Ingredients

Method

Brewing the Coffee

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coffee Maker

    Start by ensuring your coffee maker is clean and ready to use. If you're using a French press, ensure it is also clean.

  2. 2

    Measure the Coffee Beans

    Using a coffee grinder, measure out 2 cups of coffee beans. Grind them to a medium-coarse consistency, suitable for brewing.

  3. 3

    Boil Water

    In a kettle, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. If you're using an electric coffee maker, this step will be handled by the machine.

  4. 4

    Add Coffee Grounds

    Place the ground coffee into the filter or French press. If using a French press, add the grounds directly into the press.

  5. 5

    Pour the Water

    Slowly pour the hot water over the coffee grounds, ensuring all the grounds are saturated. If using a French press, let it steep for about 4 minutes.

  6. 6

    Press the Coffee

    If using a French press, after 4 minutes, press down the plunger to separate the grounds from the brewed coffee. If using a coffee maker, simply wait for it to finish brewing.

  7. 7

    Serve the Coffee

    Pour the freshly brewed coffee into a cup. Add sugar, milk or cream, and vanilla extract according to your taste.
