When we buy coffee, we often face the choice between whole beans and ground coffee. Of the coffee products sold on the market, about 70% are ground. The advantage of ground coffee is that it is simple to use and easy to brew, and the popular, no-fuss extraction methods are probably the simplest of all.

Method 1: Filter Paper Over a Cup

Set a paper filter over your cup and pour in a single serving of ground coffee. This saves the time of grinding beans, and it also makes measuring, preparing equipment, and even the final cleanup simple. Making coffee from ground coffee really is easy and convenient.

Go buy some.

Method 2: Drip Bag Coffee

Drip bag coffee is a patented Japanese design. The ground coffee sits inside a filter bag with cardboard clips on both sides that hang over the rim of the cup. It can be discarded after brewing, letting you enjoy something close to freshly drip-brewed coffee with almost no effort. Drip bag coffee is a brew-and-enjoy style of fresh ground coffee. The drip method completes the brewing and expresses the coffee's acidity, sweetness, bitterness, body, and aroma beautifully. As long as you have hot water and a cup nearby, you can enjoy it anywhere. It is especially suited to home, the office, and travel.

Method 3: Direct Brewing with an American Coffee Machine

A standard drip coffee machine lets you brew ground coffee directly: add a paper filter, measure in the grounds, fill the reservoir, and press start. It is the most hands-off method of all and a reliable everyday choice for making a full pot at home or in the office.

Method 4: French Press

The French press is a simple device made of a heat-resistant glass body (or clear plastic) and a metal filter attached to a plunger, and it originated in France around 1850. Early on it was mostly used to brew black tea, which is why some people also call it a tea brewer.

Method 5: Moka Pot

The moka pot is a tool for extracting espresso-style coffee, commonly used in European and Latin American countries and known in the United States as an "Italian drip pot."
