To brew, measure the desired amount of ground coffee into your coffee maker. Use about two tablespoons of coffee for every six ounces of cold water. Adjust the amount of coffee and water to suit your taste preference. For drip coffee makers, simply add the grounds to the filter basket. For French press, add the grounds to the bottom of the press, pour hot water over them, and let it steep for four minutes before pressing. Ensure the water is just off the boil for optimal flavor extraction.
