1. Purchase some coffee – either whole bean or ground. Selection of beans is
key. If you want something light and pleasant, try a flavored coffee or a mild
blend. If you want a hard, energizing “wake-up” brew, you might want Espresso or
Kona beans. Mixing beans often gets you some great combination. If your local
grocery does not have coffee grinds, you’ll need to grind up those beans, any
blender, or almost anything with blades can do this.
2.
Buy a coffee maker if you do not have one already; a less expensive one will be
fine. Don’t be afraid to lean towards the bargain, but check its quality just
to be sure. If you live alone or are the sole coffee drinker of the house, a
single serving coffee maker may be perfect for you.
3.
Pick up some coffee filters for your new coffee maker. These will stop the
grinds from getting in your coffee.
4. Set
up your new coffee maker. Assemble and clean it. To clean wipe down surfaces
with a wet cloth as you put the coffee maker together. Then pour a generous
amount water into the back compartment, close the lid, and press “on” or
“power”. Running the machine without coffee is always a good way to clean it;
for extra strength use a mixture of vinegar and water.
5.
Place a paper filter – make sure you only got one – in the filter compartment.
This should be the bowl like place underneath the top of the coffee maker, that
is positioned directly above the pot.
6.
Measure out some coffee grinds and place them in the paper filter. Generally,
it’s best to have one tablespoon for every 6 ounces or every cup of water, but
it may differ for the type of coffee. If you want a darker coffee, you may use
more grinds, and less for a lighter brew.
7.
Fill the coffee pot with the appropriate amount of water for the amount of
coffee grinds that you have used. (Most coffee pots have measurements on the
side.) Then pour the water into the coffee machine; this is usually at the
back, behind the filter, and there may be cup measurement markings here as
well.
8.
Press the “On” or “Power” button/switch. Your coffee should begin brewing! Some
machines brew quickly, but some brew slowly. Slow isn’t actually all bad
though, it gives the end result a more rounded flavor. Play some music or
entertain yourself for a few minutes while your coffee is brewing. The cofee is
done when you stop hearing bubbling sounds.
9.
Pull out your favorite mug, mix the coffee with some half-and-half and sugar,
and take a sip of your homemade coffee.
10.
good coffee..
