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

Add fresh, cold water to the coffee maker's reservoir. Turn on the coffee maker and allow it to complete the brewing cycle. Once brewed, pour the coffee into a mug and enjoy. It can be served black or with additions like milk, cream, or sugar.
