Instructions

1. Turn a 3 oz. paper cup upside down on a flat surface. The paper cup should have a wax layer over it to allow the hot water to pass through without leaking.

2. Cut a small hole into the bottom of the cup, toward the center, using the tip of a knife. The hole should be slightly larger than a thumbtack hole. You can also use a prong from a fork if you prefer. Make sure the hole punctures all the way through the cup and will allow water to flow out of the cup.

3. Turn the cup over and place a coffee filter inside of the cup. The filter will be too big for the cup, but smooth it out as best as you can against the bottom of the cup.

4. Cut the filter down to size, using scissors, until it is even with the top of the cup.

5. Fill the cup about halfway with the coffee grinds of your choice.

6. Place a small square of aluminum foil over the cup and wrap it over the edges of the cup, ensuring that it has a tight seal.
