Brew Perfection

Would you love to make a perfect cup of coffee at home? All it takes is four simple steps to brew a delicious cup—anytime!

First, choose your coffee.

Look for that classic red canister of Folgers^® Coffee with the snap-tight lid, designed to seal in freshness and aroma.

The type of roast is up to you. If you like a mild coffee, go with Breakfast Blend. For a more traditional, medium coffee, go with Folgers Classic Roast^® Coffee. Or if you prefer strong, bold flavors, try French Roast or Black Silk. It’s a great substitute for espresso… the foundation of many specialty coffee drinks.

Next, fill the carafe with cold water to your desired capacity. The quality of water is key to a good cup of coffee. Use fresh filtered water if you can. Pour the water in the reservoir and return the carafe to the heating plate.

Now—measure your coffee.

Add the desired amount of coffee to the filter. Use 1 tablespoon of ground coffee per 5 to 6 fluid ounces of cold water for regular coffee, or 2 tablespoons per 5 to 6 fluid ounces for strong coffee. Close the lid and turn the coffeemaker on!

Now all you have to do is sit back and wait for the perfect home-brewed coffee. Once it’s ready, pour yourself a cup and store the rest in a coffee carafe to keep it fresh.

So, just to recap… here are the four easy steps to brewing your own great coffee:

1. Select your coffee.
2. Add water.
3. Measure your coffee.
4. Brew and enjoy!
