Very carefully, I used a coffee pot that heated very HOT. And used a simple grinder. It's very smooth tasty coffee but mostly I like telling people how it was made

I've heard from a forum online that you want to use a bit more ground coffee than usual for a cup, as that's when the subtler elements of the flavor come out. There are also a lot of guidelines available here: http://www.realkopiluwak.com/perfect-cup/

Don't make coffee using these beans produced using cruel and inhumane treatment of animals.

Fill the base with water up to the relief valve. Fill the strainer with espresso ground coffee, do not pack the coffee grounds. Put pot together snug but do not over tighten. Place on burner on medium heat. Try to have the handle to the side of the burner so it does not get too hot. Pay attention to the pot, you will be able to hear it when it starts brewing. When you hear it blowing steam bubbles in the pot it is done, take it off the heat. Ready to serve.

Put the coffee in the pot with the water. Let it come to a boil and the bubbles rise to the top but NOT boil over. Gently remove it from the heat so that it goes back "down," bring back to boil like that two more times and let it sit for 1 1/2 minutes to let grounds settle. Pour out in equal amounts into cups a little at a time. If you had three cups, for example, filee eacj half way and then portion the rest out so each cup has equal foam. there a fantastic videos on YOUTUBE. Just do a search on youtube for making perfect turkish coffee. the first three choices sow every good variation. If this is not enough, just write back. Enjoy your coffee!

Simple. Just take it apart by pulling the handle out and wash all the parts with soap and water. To take it apart, pull the handle out (it swings away from the coffee maker, and stays attached at the top). Once the handle has been pulled out, the top will come off very easily. After the top is off, the coffee basket will come out of the bottom. Just wash everything after it's all in pieces. Some people just rinse it off. I guess I'm too OCD for that. Hope you get one. Nothing like it for making good coffee.

1. Yes you can make as little as 2-4 cups; you just put in less beans and less water. 2. The coffee maker keeps the coffee hot and stays on for @ 20mins before turning off. 3. Each time you want to brew coffee you have to clean out the grinder and grounds basket, then add water. You can prep it the night before you want to brew. 4. The gold filter is a removable basket, you can use it or paper filters but not both.

I heat the water in an electric auto shut off pot. Add grinds to the french press, add boiling water once done, cover, let sit for less than a minute while I heat milk for thirty seconds in the microwave, push top down on press gently, pour into milk already in cup. A few less steps if you like black coffee. Easier and more efficient than an electric percolator and gives me just the right amount. Good luck.

I put coarse ground coffee in the press then I use a glass measuring pitcher at 2.5 cups for 4 min in microwave. Pour hot water into the press with the coffee and I brew 7 or 8 min so it little stronger. Yummy!

Very easy. I just wipe it out after using and put in dishwasher if it needs more. makes the best coffee!

I can't tell you if it is the "best" way, as that is fairly subjective, but this is the way I make it:I fill the bottom with water. I like a strong brew, so I grind my beans very fine and fill the cup to the top with the ground coffee. I clean off the rim of the cup and place it inside the bottom pot. I clean the gasket on the top pot and screw the whole thing together. I turn on my stove to medium-hi and let it brew. I take the machine off of the stove when very little liquid comes out of the central tube and it is mostly steam.

Dead easy. 4 tbs of standard ground coffee (starbucks, peets etc) in the bottom. Boil kettle (I have a kettle I use for tea), let the water sit for 1 min so it is not boiling and scalds the grounds. Pour the just off the boil water on grinds, let sit for 4 mins then plunge the plunger and pour. It sounds much more complicated written down than it is in practice. Advantages over a coffee machine, 1) cheaper, 2) much easier to clean - just rinse out grounds and pop in dishwasher. You just unscrew the plunger components. 3) Easy to make small amounts 4) No filters or capsules required. However, if you drink a lot of coffee, you may prefer a machine.

On the left hand side of the machine is a clear plastic water level guide showing 4 to 10 cups. Fill water to level you want to make.Use a tablespoon measuring spoon to measure out the coffee. I use one well rounded spoonful for each cup I want to make plusone "for the pot". Adjust according to the strength you like

It makes espresso. You'd have to combine the espresso coffee, milk, chocolate syrup, crushed ice, and brown sugar in a blender and blend until smooth; then the final whipped cream topping. Some people just pour the espresso coffee into an ice cube tray, freeze it overnight and use the coffee ice cubes in lieu of regular ice.

First use cold 2% milk. Second fill the container about halfway. Third put the cover on securely. Fourth take the plunger in the center with your right hand and hold the pitcher with your left on the top. Fifth take the plunger and move it vigorously up and down rapidly for anywhere from 15 to 30 seconds. Six remove the cover. Seven pour over your coffee. Eighth stir some of it into your coffee and enjoy.

Not on the market but you can reuse the ones you have... I do and have. Peel off the foil top and carefully remove the plastic bit on top. clean out the grounds but also look for another plastic bit on the bottom. rinse all parts out. Then put the bottom but back in as you found it, pack your own fine ground coffee in the cup, about a tablespoon or a bit more and be sure to pack it down. Then cover the top with aluminium foil and fold the edges as tight as you can. Basically just imitate the original construction. The pod should slip in and it works just fine. I use the expresso button to make coffee but I push it about three times. For some reason the coffee comes out stronger that way. Not on the market but you can reuse the ones you have...

You put grounds in along with hot water. I heat water in a kettle. I'm sure you could use a microwave. I let my coffee "brew" about 4 minutes before I press the grounds down through the water. The flavor is amazing because there isnt a filter absorbing all the flavorful oils. You can go to a coffee shop and request your coffee to be French pressed if you want to try it first.

fill desired amount of water in removable back cup, and pour into opening on machine. Line basket with filter, add coffee, put all together back on unit. Set time, push center circle to start machine. I think you can download a manual from Hamilton Beach also.

When you first plug it in, set the time of day using the hour and minute buttons. To program, push the program button and set the coffee maker for the time you want it to start. Make sure you don't set it up for PM instead of AM. When the pot is programmed, the button will be lit. If you are using ground coffee, you will also need to push the "grind off" button. If using whole beans you only need to push the program button until lit. The time will remain programmed unless you change it, so if you want coffee the same time every morning you only need to push the program button the night before.
