1
Prepare Your Equipment
Ensure your coffee maker, French press, or pour-over device is clean and ready for use.
2
Measure Coffee
Measure 2 tablespoons of freshly ground coffee for each cup of coffee you want to make.
3
Boil Water
Heat 1 cup of water in a kettle or pot until it reaches a boiling point.
4
Brew the Coffee
Pour the boiling water over the coffee grounds in your chosen brewing method and allow it to steep for 4-5 minutes.
5
Strain the Coffee
If using a French press, press the plunger down slowly to separate the grounds from the liquid. If using a pour-over, allow the water to drip through.

Sweetening (Optional)
Add sugar to taste, stirring well until dissolved.
7
Creaminess (Optional)
Add milk or cream to taste for a richer texture.
8
Flavoring (Optional)
