To brew, measure the desired amount of ground coffee into your coffee maker's filter. Use fresh, cold water and follow your machine's instructions for the correct water-to-coffee ratio. For drip coffee makers, a common starting point is one to two tablespoons of coffee per six ounces of water. Adjust to your personal taste preference. For other brewing methods, such as French press or pour-over, the coffee-to-water ratio and steeping time may vary. Always use clean equipment for the best flavor.
