How to Make Regular Coffee

Driving through your local coffee shop in the morning is one way to get a daily cup of coffee. The cost of this habit can add up over time though. Making regular coffee at home is a quick process. Preparing your own coffee at home can save you time and money.

Things You'll Need

  • Coffee pot
  • 72 oz. of water
  • Paper coffee filter
  • Six tablespoons of ground coffee
  • Coffee creamer
  • Sugar or sweetener

Instructions

  1. Pour 72 oz. of coffee into the water reservoir of your coffee pot. Many the models have lines on the glass carafe indicating the number of cups that can be made. Various models will also display a water level indicator on the side to show how much water has been added to the machine.

  2. Place paper coffee filter in the filter holder of the coffee pot. Place one rounded tbsp. of your favorite ground coffee into the filter for every two cups of prepared coffee that you want to make.

  3. Close the lid on the coffee pot and press the "On" or "Brew" button.

  4. Pour the coffee into coffee cups after brewing is complete. Add creamer, half and half or any sweetener to taste.
