Method

Coffee Preparation

  1. 1

    Grind Coffee Beans

    Place the coffee beans into a grinder and grind until you achieve a medium-coarse consistency. This should yield approximately 0.5 cups of ground coffee.

  2. 2

    Boil Water

    In a kettle, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Ensure that the water reaches a rolling boil for the best extraction of flavors from the coffee.

  3. 3

    Brew Coffee

    In a coffee maker or French press, add the ground coffee. Pour the boiling water over the coffee grounds. Let it steep for about 4-5 minutes for optimal flavor.

  4. 4

    Strain Coffee

    If using a French press, press down the plunger to separate the grounds from the brewed coffee. If using a coffee maker, simply pour the coffee into a carafe.

  5. 5

    Sweeten and Add Cream

    Stir in 2 tablespoons of sugar and 0.5 cups of milk or cream into the brewed coffee. Adjust to taste.

  6. 6

    Add Vanilla

    Mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for added flavor.

Optional Flavorings

  1. 7

    Enhance Flavor

    If desired, add 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder, 0.5 teaspoons of cinnamon, 0.25 teaspoons of nutmeg, or 0.5 teaspoons of peppermint extract to the coffee. Stir well to combine.

  2. 8

    Serve Coffee

    Pour the coffee into mugs and serve hot. Optionally, top with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for an elegant touch.
