To brew this coffee, start by grinding the beans to your preferred consistency, whether for a drip coffee maker, French press, or pour-over. Measure the ground coffee and hot water according to your brewing method's recommendations. Heat the water to just below boiling. Combine the coffee and water, allowing it to steep or brew for the appropriate time. Serve hot, perhaps with a splash of cream or a touch of sweetener, to fully appreciate its seasonal character.
