What you do

  1. Boil some water. You want it hot but not boiling like crazy. About 200°F works good. Just wait until it’s bubbling but not going wild.
  2. Scoop ground coffee into your coffee maker. I usually go for about 2 tablespoons for one mug. You can add a bit more if you like it strong.
  3. Pour the hot water into the coffee maker. Let it run through. This takes about 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. When it’s done, just pour the coffee into your mug. That’s it. No sugar, no milk, nothing extra.

Drink Up

It’s just coffee. Pretty strong. Super easy.

lightbulb_2 Tips

  • If you don’t have a coffee maker: You can use a French press or even just pour hot water over coffee grounds and use a strainer. Not fancy but works.
  • Don’t use boiling water: It can make the coffee taste weird or burnt. Let it sit for a minute after boiling.
  • Cleanup: Grounds can go in the trash or compost, not down the sink. Trust me, it clogs.
