Brewed Coffee
Optional Add-ins
Method
Brewed Coffee
- 1
Measure and grind
Measure 1 tablespoon (about 0.033 cups) of whole coffee beans per 8 fl oz cup. Grind beans to a medium grind (similar to sand) for drip coffee or slightly coarser for a pour-over.
- 2
Heat water
Heat 8 fl oz (about 240 ml) of filtered water to 195–205°F (90–96°C). If you don't have a thermometer, bring to a boil and let sit 30 seconds.

Brew
Place the ground coffee in your coffee maker, pour-over cone with filter, or French press. Pour hot water evenly over grounds, saturating them, and allow to brew: 3–4 minutes for drip/pour-over, or 4 minutes for French press before plunging.

Serve
Pour the brewed coffee into a mug immediately to prevent over-extraction or bitterness.
