1
Prepare the Coffee Beans
Measure out 1 cup of medium roast coffee beans. If you prefer a stronger flavor, you can increase the amount of coffee beans to 1.5 cups.
2
Grind the Coffee
Using a coffee grinder, grind the coffee beans to a medium consistency. If you do not have a grinder, you can purchase pre-ground coffee.
3
Boil the Water
In a kettle or pot, bring 4 cups of filtered water to a near-boil. Do not let it boil fully, as this can scorch the coffee.
4
Brewing Process
In a coffee maker or French press, add the ground coffee and pour the hot water over it. Allow it to steep for 4-5 minutes.
5
Strain the Coffee
If using a French press, slowly press down the plunger to separate the grounds from the brewed coffee. If using a coffee maker, simply allow it to finish brewing.
6
Serve the Coffee
Pour the freshly brewed coffee into your favorite mug.

7
Sweeten Your Coffee
If desired, add 2 tablespoons of sugar to your mug of coffee and stir until dissolved.
8
Add Milk or Cream
Pour in 1 cup of milk or cream to your coffee for a creamier texture.
9
Flavor with Vanilla
For a vanilla twist, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and stir well.
