Brewing with a coffee machine is easy. With the right grounds, you’ll be enjoying a balanced cup in no time.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
- coffee machine
- coffee filter (optional)
STEP 1
Add water to the reservoir
Always start with fresh, cold water and measure the correct amount using the markers on the coffee machine.
Brewed coffee consists of 98% water so always use fresh, filtered water for the best taste.
STEP 2
Place the filter into the basket
Make sure the coffee filter is the right shape and size for your coffee machine.
STEP 3
Add medium ground coffee
Use 2 tbsp (10 g) of grounds per cup (180 ml, 6 fl oz). For flat-bottom filters, use a medium grind resembling sea salt; for cone filters, use a finer grind resembling granulated sugar.
Store your coffee in an airtight container away from sunlight, heat and moisture.
STEP 4
Start the brew
Your coffee is done once the coffee is no longer dripping into the server; interrupting the brew can affect the flavour of the whole pot.
STEP 5
Pour a cup & enjoy your coffee at home
For the best taste, serve within 20 minutes or keep your coffee warm in an insulated container.
Avoid reheating as it will dull the flavour. If your coffee machine doesn’t have an insulated server, you can transfer the coffee to a thermos flask.
QUICK TIPS
Each coffee machine has a different size for a “cup”—it can vary between 118–180 ml (4–6 fl oz). Not sure about yours? Measure and pour 350 ml (12 fl oz) of water into the reservoir and see how large a “cup” is.
