Step 1: You will need

Step 2: Add the coffee

Remove the filter and put one tablespoon of coffee into the bottom of the cafetiere jug for every cup you want to brew. Boil the kettle and wait a minute for the water to cool slightly, to avoid burning the ground coffee.

Step 3: Add the water

Pour water into the cafetiere according to your taste. The less water you add, the stronger the coffee will be.
Leave the coffee to brew for 2 minutes before inserting the filter.
Top tip: Pour the remaining hot water from the kettle over the filter, as this will cause it to expand and fit the cafetiere jug more tightly.

Step 4: Plunge

Fit the filter over the top of the cafetiere jug and plunge it slowly into the coffee. Pour and serve with cold milk if required.

    You can also use the cafetiere to make frothy milk for a homemade 'cappuccino'. Simply, remove the made coffee into a warmed jug and cover it with a coffee cozy, rinse out the cafetiere and fill with hot - not boiling - milk. Then 'pump' the plunger up and down a few times and you get perfect frothy milk. (For those of us who don't have an expensive cappuccino maker!) I also use whole beans, which I keep in my freezer and rough grind them in my small, electric coffee grinder, as bought ground coffee goes off quickly. Hope this helps.

    Thanks 'Anonymous' ..helpful and can't wait to try. Yep, filter and cafetiere coffee are two different things! :)

    The Method - put a little cold water in with the coffee ground and stir to protect them. When the water in the kettle is making SMALL bubbles ie BEFORE full boil, pour it on the coffee grounds. Letting the water come to full boil de-oxygenates it (I learned this from a pro tea taster). Believe it!

    You simply can't make "filter" coffee in a cafetiere - you need a filter to do that, and the brewing process is different.

    This is the best way to make coffee. I stir the hot water and coffee grains with a plastic stir stick or wooden spoon then allow it to steep for 3 or 4 minutes before serving.

    Nice. For pseudo foam I would heat some evaporated milk then use a hand blender to whip it then add to the coffee.
