To brew coffee, measure the desired amount of ground coffee into your coffee maker's filter. The general guideline is one to two tablespoons of grounds for every six ounces of water, but you can adjust this to your preference. Add fresh, cold water to the coffee maker's reservoir. Turn on the machine and allow it to brew. Once brewing is complete, pour the coffee into a mug. You can add milk, cream, sugar, or other flavorings as desired.
