Coffee Ingredients

Method

Brewing Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil the Water

    Start by boiling 4 cups of fresh, cold water in a kettle or pot. Bring it to a rolling boil.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Coffee Filter

    While the water is boiling, place a coffee filter in your drip coffee maker's basket. If using a paper filter, you may want to rinse it with hot water to remove any paper taste.

  3. 3

    Measure the Coffee Grounds

    Measure 0.5 cups of coffee grounds and add them to the filter in the coffee maker. Adjust the amount according to your taste preference.

  4. 4

    Add Water

    Once the water has reached a boil, let it cool for about 30 seconds to a minute, bringing it to approximately 200°F (93°C). Then, pour the hot water over the coffee grounds in a circular motion to ensure even saturation.

  5. 5

    Brew the Coffee

    Turn on the coffee maker and allow it to brew. This process typically takes about 4-5 minutes. Stay nearby to monitor the brewing process.

  6. 6

    Serve and Enjoy

    Once the coffee has finished brewing, pour it into your favorite mug. You can enjoy it black or add milk, sugar, or other flavorings to taste.
