Heat 1 cup of filtered water in a kettle or saucepan until it reaches a near-boiling temperature (around 200°F or 93°C).
Add 2 tablespoons of freshly ground coffee to a coffee maker, French press, or pour-over setup, depending on your preference.
Slowly pour the hot water over the coffee grounds, ensuring even saturation. If using a French press, give the coffee a gentle stir after pouring.
Allow the coffee to brew for about 4 minutes (or follow your specific brewing method's recommended time).
If using a French press, press down the plunger slowly. If using another method, strain or filter the coffee into your mug.
Optional: Stir in 2 tablespoons of milk, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 0.25 teaspoon of vanilla extract for a creamy, sweetened twist.
Serve immediately and enjoy your perfect Afternoon Coffee!
