Coffee Preparation
Choose Your Coffee Type

Grind Coffee Beans
Grind the coffee beans to a medium grind size for optimal brewing.
Brewing Process
Boil Water
In a kettle, bring 4 cups of fresh water to a boil.
Add Coffee Grounds
Once the water has boiled, remove it from heat and add the ground coffee. Stir gently to ensure all grounds are saturated.
Steep Coffee
Let the coffee steep for about 4-5 minutes for best flavor extraction.
Strain Coffee
Use a coffee filter or a fine mesh strainer to strain the coffee into a pot or carafe.
