Basic Cup Steps

Use these illustrated steps to follow along with the video or print them to keep as a guide.

  1. Choose Your Coffee: If you like a more traditional, mild coffee, go with Folgers Classic Roast® Coffee. If you prefer strong, bold flavors, try French Roast or Black Silk varieties.
  2. Add Your Water: Fill the carafe with cold water to your desired capacity. Serving size: 6 fluid ounces. Measure water using a standard liquid measuring cup. Pour the water in the reservoir and put the carafe back on the heating plate.
  3. Measure Your Grounds: Add the desired amount of grounds to the filter: about 1 tablespoon per 5 to 6 fluid ounces of cold water for regular coffee, and 2 tablespoons per 5 to 6 fluid ounces for strong coffee. Or check out our helpful Measurement Chart and Cups Calculator.
  4. Turn On Your Coffeemaker: Put the filter basket back in the holder, close the lid, and turn on the coffeemaker.
