  1. 1

    Measure Coffee Beans

    Use 0.5 cups of medium roast coffee beans. If you prefer a stronger flavor, you may add more beans.

    Grind Coffee Beans

    Grind the measured coffee beans to a medium consistency using a coffee grinder.

  3. 3

    Boil Water

    In a kettle, bring 2 cups of filtered water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat to let it cool slightly.

    Brew Coffee

    Place the ground coffee in a coffee filter or a French press. Pour the hot water over the coffee grounds evenly. Let it steep for about 4-5 minutes.
