Coffee but no coffee maker? No problem! There are simple tips for making a good coffee without a machine.

Ingredients (for 1 mug or 2 cups)

How to make coffee without a coffee maker: step by step

1. Setting up

Put the strainer over the container and cover it with the coffee filter. Place 1 or 2 tablespoons of ground coffee on the filter.

You can also use just a coffee filter. Place 1 teaspoon on the filter, secure it with an elastic band (or a string) on your cup.

2. Boil water (you can microwave it or use a kettle)

3. Making coffee

Pour the boiling water over the ground coffee into the container where the filter is installed. Pour it gently: this will allow a better impregnation of the water. You will get coffee just as good as that made with a coffee maker.

4. Finalization of the coffee

Depending on your tastes: add a touch of milk to get latte coffee, pour a few ice cubes for a an iced coffee or drink your coffee as is.

Tips for making coffee without a coffee maker

• To get better coffee: pour the water directly onto the ground coffee. Let macerate for a few minutes and then filter the coffee grounds.

• Choose your coffee well: a good quality coffee will always give your coffee a better taste. That’s why we sell freshly roasted coffee!

So no coffee maker, no panic, now you know what to do!
