Ingredients
  

  • 1-2 tablespoon coffee grounds
  • 6 ounces water

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: choose quality coffee beans
    The foundation of a great cup of coffee starts with high-quality, freshly ground coffee beans. Choose beans that match your preferred flavor profile, whether it's a bold dark roast, a milder medium roast, or something in between. Invest in a good-quality coffеe grinder to ensure uniformity in grind size, as this plays a crucial role in extraction and flavor, or make sure you have high-quality instant coffee granules.
  • Step 2: precision in coffee and hot water
    For a standard mug of coffee, use a ratio of about 1 to 2 tablespoons of coffee grounds per 6 ounces of water. If you have a measuring cup, use it for precision. Measure the boiling water, ensuring you have the desired amount for your coffee strength.
  • Step 3: water
    Fill the coffee pot with the appropriate amount of cold water and bring it to a boil. If you have a thermometer, aim for a water temperature between 195°F and 205°F (90°C to 96°C), as this is the ideal range for extracting flavors from coffee grounds without a coffee maker.
  • Step 4: preheat your equipment
    To maintain the optimal temperature during the brewing process, preheat your coffee mug or cup by pouring a small amount of hot water into it. Swirl the water around and discard it before adding the coffee grounds.
  • Step 5: add coffee grounds
    Place the measured coffee grounds into your chosen brewing device, like a coffee filter. If you lack the specified equipment, you can still opt for a sauce pan, whether a small saucepan for individual servings or a larger one for preparing a big batch.
  • Step 6: add water to coffee grounds
    Slowly pour hot water over all the coffee grounds, ensuring even saturation. Use a circular motion to achieve uniform extraction. Leave the coffee in hot water for about 4 minutes.
  • Step 7: press or strain
    If you're using a French press, press down the plunger slowly to separate the coffee grounds from the liquid. For other methods, use a filter to strain the coffee into your preheated mug.
  • Step 8: enjoy your coffee
