Method
Brewing Instructions
Step 1: Grind the Coffee Beans
Using a coffee grinder, grind 0.25 cups of coffee beans to a medium-coarse consistency. This will ensure optimal extraction during brewing.
Step 2: Boil the Water
In a kettle, bring 2 cups of fresh water to a boil. Once boiling, let it sit for about 30 seconds to reach the ideal brewing temperature (around 200°F or 93°C).
Step 3: Brew the Coffee
Add the ground coffee to a coffee maker or French press. Pour the hot water over the coffee grounds and let it steep for about 4-5 minutes.
Step 4: Strain the Coffee
If using a French press, press down the plunger to separate the coffee grounds from the brewed coffee. If using a coffee maker, simply allow the coffee to finish brewing.
Step 5: Sweeten and Cream
Pour the brewed coffee into a mug. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar (or to taste) and stir. Then, add 0.5 cups of milk or cream and 0.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.
Step 6: Serve
Enjoy your freshly brewed coffee warm, or let it cool and serve it over ice for a refreshing iced coffee.
