Method

Brewing Coffee

Prepare the Coffee Filter

Place a coffee filter in the basket of your drip coffee maker. Ensure it fits properly and is not torn.

Add Ground Coffee

Measure 0.5 cups of ground coffee and pour it into the filter. Adjust the amount based on preferred strength.

Add Water

Fill the coffee maker’s reservoir with 4 cups of fresh, cold water. Ensure the water is clean for the best taste.

Start Brewing

Turn on the coffee maker and allow the brewing process to complete. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.

Serve the Coffee

Once brewing is complete, pour the coffee into your mug. Be careful as it will be hot!

Adding Optional Ingredients

Add Milk

If desired, add 0.5 cups of milk to your coffee for a creamier texture.

Sweeten Your Coffee

Stir in 2 tablespoons of sugar, or adjust to taste, if you prefer your coffee sweet.

Enhance Flavor

For a hint of flavor, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and stir well to combine.
