    Combine Coffee and Water

    In a coffee maker or French press, add the measured coffee grounds. Slowly pour the hot water over the coffee grounds, ensuring even saturation.

    Brew Coffee

    Let the coffee steep for about 4-5 minutes. If using a coffee maker, allow it to complete its brewing cycle.
