How to Use a Coffee Machine to Brew Coffee
EXPLORE OUR HOME RECIPES
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.
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.
