1
Prepare the Coffee Beans
If using whole coffee beans, grind them to a medium-coarse consistency. You'll need about 1 cup of ground coffee.
2
Boil the Water
In a kettle or pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. You can use filtered water for a better taste.
3
Combine Coffee and Water
In a French press or coffee maker, add the ground coffee and pour the boiling water over it. Stir gently to ensure all the coffee grounds are saturated.
4
Steep the Coffee
Allow the coffee to steep for about 4-5 minutes. If using a French press, place the lid on and let it sit without pressing down the plunger.
5
Press and Serve
If using a French press, slowly press down the plunger to separate the grounds from the brewed coffee. Pour the coffee into cups.
6
Add Optional Ingredients
If desired, add milk, sugar, and vanilla extract to taste. Stir well to combine.
