To brew, measure your desired amount of ground coffee into your coffee maker's filter basket.

Turn on your coffee maker and allow it to complete the brewing cycle. Once brewed, serve immediately. You can add milk, cream, sugar, or other sweeteners as desired. For iced coffee, brew a stronger batch and pour over ice.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store the unused portion of Folgers Classic Roast in its original airtight container or an opaque, airtight canister.
