To brew, measure your desired amount of ground coffee into your coffee maker's filter. Use fresh, cold water for the best results. The typical ratio is one to two tablespoons of coffee per six ounces of water, but you can adjust this to your personal preference for strength. Allow the coffee maker to complete its brewing cycle. Serve hot, black, or with your favorite additions like milk, cream, or sugar. It can also be cooled and used as a base for iced coffee beverages.
