Place funnel and filter into a cup with mouth large enough to hold all items and ingredients. Put about 3 tablespoons of coffee powder into the filter funnel just before brewing.

• Genuine coffee makers will focus on the mass of the beans rather than the volume. If you like this method, add about 60-70 grams of coffee powder per liter of water. Note the reduction based on the size of the coffee cup.

Boil water. Wait for the water to cool for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or turn it off as soon as it boils. The ideal temperature for making coffee is 93 degrees Celsius.

• Normally, the darker the roasted beans are, the lower the appropriate water temperature when brewed. For light roasted coffee, the appropriate water temperature will be 97 degrees C. For dark roasted coffee, you should use water with a temperature of approximately 90.5 degrees Celsius.

Set a timer for 4 minutes. Wet the coffee in the first pour with at least 60 ml of water. Wait 30 seconds, then pour one more time, repeat until the four minutes have passed and the water is gone.

• You can also experiment with the 3-minute process. Be careful not to overfill the water. You will probably love the taste of coffee with this quick brewing process.
• Apply longer brewing times to light roasted coffee and speed up the process for dark roasted coffee.

Method 2 of 2: Making black coffee machine

1. 

   Buy an unbleached filter that will fit in your coffee machine. If you are unsure whether the machine is clean or not, take a moment to clean it for the best coffee flavor. Run the machine in cleaning mode (or simple brewing mode) with a mixture of white distilled vinegar and hot water in a 1: 1 ratio.
   • Continue with two additional phases of water so that the remaining vinegar mixture in the machine is completely pushed out.
   • For areas with hard water sources, increase the percentage of vinegar in the water. Do this cleaning routine once a month.

2. 

   
   
   Add about 2 and 3/5 tablespoons of coffee powder to 8 ounces of water. Gradually, you will be able to estimate for yourself how many teaspoons of the coffee beans will produce enough powder to drink. At that time, you can reduce the dosage to suit your taste.

3. 

   Turn off automatic warming feature on the machine. Most coffeemakers are programmed to brew at the perfect 93 degrees Celsius, but the automatic reheating feature can heat the drink and increase the bitterness of the coffee. For best results, drink black coffee as soon as you make it.

4. 

   
   
   Now you can enjoy your cup of black coffee. advertisement
