Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Freshly ground dark roast coffee
• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Measure 2 tablespoons of freshly ground dark roast coffee. Opt for a high-quality French roast to achieve the bold flavor characteristic of Café Noir.

Step 2

Heat 1 cup of water until it reaches just shy of a boil (around 200°F or 93°C). You can use a stovetop kettle or an electric kettle with a temperature setting for precision.

Step 3

Place the ground coffee into a French press or a drip coffee maker, depending on your preference.

Step 4

Carefully pour the hot water over the coffee grounds, ensuring even saturation of the grounds for optimal extraction.

Step 5

If using a French press, stir the grounds gently with a wooden or plastic spoon to ensure all grounds are fully immersed. Place the lid on with the plunger pulled up and let it steep for 4 minutes.

Step 6

If using a drip coffee maker, simply allow the brewing process to complete as per the machine’s settings.

Step 7

After 4 minutes of steeping in the French press, slowly press the plunger down to filter the coffee.

Step 8

Pour the freshly brewed Café Noir into a cup or mug. Serve immediately without any milk, cream, or sugar to preserve its intense, bold flavor.
