Prepare a Cup of Coffee
manually with a Coffee Filter Holder

Coffee can be made manually using a coffee filter holder. The holder is placed over a pot or cup. Then a filter is put in the holder and two level teaspoons of ground coffee per 6 oz. of water. A small amount of boiling water is poured over the ground coffee. After a few seconds the rest of the water is poured over the grounds. For a better taste, the grounds should be removed before all water has drained.
