Method

Brewing the Coffee

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    Start by boiling the water in a kettle or on the stove until it reaches a rolling boil.

  2. 2

    Measure Coffee

    While the water is boiling, measure out the coffee grounds into a coffee filter or French press.

  3. 3

    Cool Water

    Once the water has boiled, remove it from heat and let it cool for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. This allows the temperature to drop slightly, which is ideal for brewing.

    Brew Coffee

    Pour the hot water over the coffee grounds, ensuring that all the grounds are saturated.

    Steep Coffee

    If using a drip coffee maker, allow it to complete the brewing cycle. If using a French press, let the coffee steep for about 4 minutes before pressing down the plunger.

Serving the Coffee
