How to Brew a Perfect Cup of Coffee

Brewing a perfect cup of coffee starts with high-quality beans, freshly ground. Measure the coffee-to-water ratio; a common ratio is one to two tablespoons of coffee per six ounces of water. Heat water to just below boiling (around 200°F). Pour the water over the grounds in a circular motion, ensuring even saturation. Let the coffee steep for about four minutes before pressing or pouring it out. Enjoy your coffee black or with your preferred additions.
