1
Measure Coffee Grounds
Start by measuring 2 tablespoons of coffee grounds. You can adjust the quantity based on how strong you prefer your coffee.
2
Boil Water
In a kettle or pot, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Ensure the water is at a rolling boil to properly extract the flavors from the coffee grounds.
3
Combine Coffee and Water
Place the coffee grounds in a coffee filter or directly in a French press. Pour the boiling water over the coffee grounds, ensuring all grounds are saturated.
4
Steep Coffee
Allow the coffee to steep for 4-5 minutes. This duration can be adjusted depending on your taste preference; longer steeping will yield a stronger flavor.
5
Strain Coffee
If using a French press, press the plunger down slowly to separate the coffee grounds from the brewed coffee. If using a filter, allow the coffee to drip through completely.
6
Add Milk, Sugar, and Vanilla (optional)
If desired, add 1/2 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract to your brewed coffee. Stir to combine.
7
Serve
Pour the coffee into a mug and enjoy your freshly brewed cup of coffee!
