To brew Folgers Black Silk, start by measuring your desired amount of ground coffee. Typically, one to two tablespoons of coffee per six ounces of cold water is recommended, but this can be adjusted for strength. Heat fresh, cold water to just below boiling.

Allow the coffee to steep or brew according to the device's instructions. Serve hot, black or with your preferred additions like milk or sugar.
