1
Grind the Coffee Beans
Using a coffee grinder, grind 1 cup of coffee beans to a medium-fine consistency. If you prefer a stronger brew, you can grind them finer.
2
Boil the Water
In a pot or kettle, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Make sure to use fresh, filtered water for the best taste.
3
Brew the Coffee
Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat and let it cool for about 30 seconds. Then, pour the hot water over the ground coffee in a French press or coffee maker. Let it steep for 4-5 minutes.
4
Strain the Coffee
If using a French press, slowly press the plunger down to separate the grounds from the liquid. If using a coffee maker, simply let it drip into the carafe.
5
Add Milk and Sweeteners (Optional)
If desired, pour in 1 cup of milk and stir in 2 teaspoons of sugar. You can also add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for an extra flavor kick.
6
Serve the Coffee
Pour the brewed coffee into mugs and enjoy hot. You can also serve it over ice for an iced coffee.
