1
Boil the Water
In a kettle or pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, remove from heat.
2
Prepare Coffee Grounds
While the water is boiling, measure 0.5 cups of freshly ground coffee beans. Make sure the coffee is ground to a medium coarseness for optimal brewing.
3
Combine Coffee and Water
Place the ground coffee in a coffee filter or French press. Pour the hot water over the coffee grounds, ensuring all grounds are saturated. Allow it to steep for 4-5 minutes.
4
Strain the Coffee
If using a French press, gently press the plunger down to separate the coffee grounds from the liquid. If using a coffee filter, carefully lift the filter to separate the brewed coffee.
5
Add Optional Ingredients
If desired, pour the brewed coffee into a cup and add milk and sugar to taste. Stir well to combine.
6
Serve
Enjoy your freshly brewed coffee hot or let it cool and serve over ice for iced coffee.
