Brewing Coffee With a Glass Coffee Maker
One of the most traditional ways of brewing coffee is with a glass coffee maker. You can use these at home to make delicious cups of coffee and unique coffee-based drinks such as lattes and cappuccinos. Here are the steps to follow in order to make a perfect cup of coffee with a glass coffee maker.
1. Gather Your Tools and Ingredients
The first step is to gather your tools and ingredients. You will need a glass coffee maker, ground coffee, a kettle, a mug, and a spoon.
2. Heat Water
Fill your kettle with cold water and heat it on the stove top or in the microwave to just before boiling.
3. Prepare the Coffee Maker
Take off the top of the glass coffee maker and add two tablespoons of ground coffee per cup of water. Replace the lid of the coffee maker and make sure the seal is secure.
4. Pour the Water
When the water has finished heating, carefully pour it into the glass coffee maker through the lid. Make sure you do not fill it too full or the coffee will overflow.
5. Steep and Serve
Allow the coffee to steep for about four minutes, depending on your desired strength. Once it is done, pour the hot coffee into a mug and enjoy!
Additional Tips
- If you want to make iced coffee, pour the hot coffee into a glass before cooling it in the refrigerator.
- For a rich, creamy texture, use half water and half hot milk.
- Stir the coffee with a spoon just before pouring it into the mug. This will mix any additional grounds that may have settled to the bottom.
