1
Measure Coffee Grounds
Using a tablespoon, measure out 2 tablespoons of Illy coffee grounds.
2
Boil Water
In a kettle or pot, bring 6 cups of water to a boil. Make sure to use fresh, filtered water for the best taste.
3
Brew Coffee
Once the water has boiled, remove it from the heat. Add the 2 tablespoons of Illy coffee grounds into a coffee filter or French press. Pour the hot water over the coffee grounds and let it steep for about 4 minutes.
4
Strain Coffee
If using a French press, press down the plunger to separate the coffee grounds from the brewed coffee. If using a filter, simply remove the filter with the grounds.

5
Pour Coffee
Pour the brewed coffee into a mug, filling it about halfway.
6
Add Hot Water
Top the coffee with an additional 1-2 cups of hot water, depending on your taste preference for strength.

Sweeten and Cream (Optional)
If desired, add sugar and/or milk or cream to taste. Stir well to combine.
