There’s a little bit of confusion about what ground coffee really is, and many people assume it’s just another term for instant coffee, but that’s not the case. Ground coffee is a form of coffee that’s been ground from whole coffee beans, but unlike instant coffee (which is processed so that it becomes soluble), ground coffee won’t dissolve in water – it’s literally ground-up beans. That means it’s usual to need some form of coffee machine or filter to make a drink from it.
How To Use Ground Coffee
Using ground coffee is straightforward, and although it’s not as fast as instant coffee, many people prefer the taste, so it might be worth the extra time and steps it takes to make the ideal cup.
The first thing you’ll need is some form of filter, which can be a fancy coffee machine, French press, cafetiere, or something similar. Then, you’ll need to measure out how much coffee you want; although it will depend on taste, you’ll need about one to two tablespoons per cup you wish to make. You’ll learn as you go how many tablespoons works for you, however – it might be more or less. Add the coffee and water to the machine or filter as per the instructions, and wait for your drink to brew – it’s that simple.
