Instructions

1. Purchase Brazilian coffee beans in the whole bean form for the best taste and quality. Grind the coffee beans very coarse so they look like large granules of sand. Use a 32-ounce French press by placing 3 tbsp. of Brazilian coffee in the press. Fill the French press with hot water about 200 degrees F. Allow the coffee to sit for four minutes and then plunge the coffee with the press to the bottom of the brewer. Pour into a coffee mug and prepare it as you like.

2. Grind your whole bean Brazilian coffee to a medium grind for a drip coffee maker. The ground coffee should be smaller than the grind from the French press but should not look like powder. Place 1 tbsp. in the filter of the brew basket for every 2 cups of water. Fill the drip coffee pot with as much water as you want. Pour the water into the basin at the rear of the drip coffee maker. Place the empty pot in the front holder and turn the brewer on. Wait until the entire pot of coffee brews and then enjoy it the way you prefer with cream or sugar.

3. Grind the Brazilian beans into a very fine powder to enjoy an intense flavored Brazilian coffee using a stovetop espresso maker. Unscrew the top from the bottom of the brewer. Remove the stem and brew basket from the interior and fill the bottom with cool water. Place the stem and brew basket in the water. Fill the brew basket to the top with the finely ground Brazilian coffee. Screw the top back on and place on the stovetop. Using a medium heat, allow the coffee to brew until you hear a crackling noise that indicates that all the water has been pushed through to the top. Pour into an espresso cup.
