Coffee Ingredients

Method

Brewing Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Your Coffee

    Start by measuring out 0.5 cups of freshly roasted coffee beans. This will yield a rich and flavorful brew.

  2. 2

    Grind the Beans

    Grind the coffee beans to a medium grind size using a coffee grinder. This ensures optimal extraction during brewing.

  3. 3

    Boil Water

    In a kettle, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Make sure the water reaches a temperature between 195°F and 205°F for the best extraction.

  4. 4

    Brew the Coffee

    Place the ground coffee into your coffee maker or French press. Slowly pour the hot water over the grounds, ensuring all coffee is saturated. Let it steep for about 4 minutes.

  5. 5

    Strain and Serve

    After steeping, strain the coffee into your favorite mug. If you're using a French press, simply push the plunger down to separate the grounds.

  6. 6

    Add Extras

    If desired, add 0.5 cups of milk for creaminess, sugar to taste, and a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.

  7. 7

    Enjoy Your Brew

    Take a moment to enjoy the aroma and warmth of your freshly brewed coffee. Perfect for any time of day!
