Instructions

1. Grind fresh Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee beans. Use 2 tbsp. of whole beans for each 8-oz cup of coffee you intend to brew. A burr grinder is the best kind because it gives consistent sized granules. Grind it on a coarse setting.

2. Wet a paper drip coffee maker filter and put it in the coffee basket. This removes some of the paper taste from your coffee.

3. Place the ground coffee into the paper filter. Use a spoon to scoop out any that remain in the bottom of the grinder.

4. Fill the water receptacle in the drip coffee maker with cold, filtered or bottled water up to the line for the amount of coffee you intend to brew. Your tap water may have chemicals that will alter the taste of your coffee.

5. Turn the coffee maker on. When it is done brewing, immediately transfer the hot coffee to an insulated carafe. If allowed to sit on the hot plate, the coffee will continue to cook and it will acquire a burnt taste.
