In this article, we’ll show you how to make a delicious cup of black coffee on the stovetop, step by step.
Ingredients to make perfect black coffee
The right balance of coffee and water is essential to making great black coffee. Here’s what you’ll need:Freshly ground coffee: 1 to 2 tablespoons (5 to 10 grams) per cup (8 ounces or 240 ml) of water.
Strong coffee: Use up to 2 tablespoons of coffee.
Mild coffee: Use 1 tablespoon of coffee.
Water: 1 cup (8 ounces or 240 ml) per serving.Optional: A pinch of salt (to enhance the flavor and reduce bitterness).
Steps to make fresh homemade black coffee
First, fill a small saucepan with enough water, depending on how many people you want to make coffee for. Place the saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Let the water come to a slow boil, but don’t let it boil too fast. If you let it boil too quickly, too much water will evaporate, which will make your coffee taste bad. Instead, let it boil slowly.
When the water is ready to boil, remove the saucepan from the heat. Immediately add your coffee beans to the water. Then stir gently to ensure all the beans are submerged.
When the coffee starts to boil, keep stirring it occasionally so that it doesn’t settle at the bottom. Be careful, stirring too much can make the coffee very bitter. You will notice the water changing color as it starts to absorb the coffee oils and flavor.
Now filter the coffee through a fine mesh strainer or coffee filter. And fill the coffee in the cup as per requirement
Now enjoy fresh homemade coffee with your friends
