1
Prepare the Coffee Beans
Start by measuring out 0.5 cups of coffee beans. If you have whole beans, grind them to a medium-coarse consistency using a coffee grinder.
2
Boil the Water
In a kettle or pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and let it cool for about 30 seconds to reach the optimal brewing temperature (around 200°F or 93°C).
3
Brew the Coffee
Place the ground coffee beans in a coffee maker or a French press. Pour the hot water over the coffee grounds, ensuring that all of them are saturated. Allow the coffee to brew for 4-5 minutes.
4
Strain the Coffee
If using a French press, press down the plunger to separate the coffee grounds from the brewed coffee. If using a coffee maker, simply wait for the brewing process to finish.
5
Serve
Pour the freshly brewed coffee into your favorite mug. Add milk or cream if desired, and sweeten with sugar to taste. Stir well and enjoy!
