Equipment

Method

Preparing Coffee

  1. 1

    Grind the Coffee Beans

    Using a coffee grinder, grind 2 cups of coffee beans to a medium-coarse consistency. Avoid grinding them too fine, as this can result in a bitter taste.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Coffee Maker

    Place a coffee filter in the basket of your coffee maker. This will help catch the coffee grounds during brewing.

  3. 3

    Measure and Add Water

    Pour 8 cups of fresh, cold water into the water reservoir of the coffee maker. This will determine the strength of your coffee, so adjust based on your taste preference.

  4. 4

    Add Coffee Grounds

    Add the ground coffee to the filter in the coffee maker. Make sure it is evenly spread out for an even brew.

  5. 5

    Brew the Coffee

    Turn on the coffee maker and let it brew. This process typically takes about 5-10 minutes depending on your machine.

  6. 6

    Serve the Coffee

    Once brewed, pour the coffee into your favorite mug. If desired, add milk and sugar to taste.
