1
Set up your drip brewer with a clean filter. Rinse the filter with hot water to remove any papery taste and preheat the brewer. Discard the rinse water.
2
Add 6 tbs of medium-ground coffee to the filter and level the bed to ensure even extraction.
3
Pour about 60 ml of hot water (just off the boil) over the grounds to saturate them. Allow the coffee to bloom for about 30 seconds.
4
Slowly pour the remaining 420 ml hot water in a circular motion, ensuring all grounds are evenly saturated. Let the coffee drip through completely for about 3–4 minutes.
5
Remove the filter/dripper, give the brewed coffee a gentle stir, and pour into cups. Enjoy as is or with milk, sugar, or other additives as desired.

6
Preheat the French press carafe by rinsing with hot water and then discarding the warming water.
7
Add 6 tbs of coarse-ground coffee to the carafe.
8
Pour 480 ml of hot water (92–96°C / 198–205°F) over the grounds. Stir gently to saturate all grounds.
9
Place the plunger on top and let the coffee steep for 4 minutes without pressing.
10
Slowly press the plunger down and immediately pour the coffee into cups to enjoy at its best.
