A friend gave me a bag of coffee beans

It says "Espresso Blend Coffee Beans" on it

I only have a regular American coffee maker, 800w

Can I brew it?

How should I brew it??

====================================================

Yes, you can brew it!

Steps for Brewing:

1. First, grind the beans: When grinding, if you have a small grinder, adjust to about 2.5-3 setting for grinding... If it's a manual grinder, lock it until it feels slightly tight, then grind...

2. Put the ground coffee into the filter basket of the American coffee maker...

3. Add appropriate amount of water to the water tank: Generally, one coffee scoop of unground coffee beans should correspond to 180-225cc of water (adjustable based on your preferred concentration). For two scoops, use about 360-450cc of water, and so on...

4. Turn on the coffee maker to boil water. The boiling water will drip into the coffee grounds. At this time, if the coffee is fresh and of good quality, you'll notice the grounds expanding...

5. The extracted coffee will drip into the carafe. Wait until dripping is complete and the concentration is evenly distributed before drinking to avoid burns and uneven coffee concentration.

Key Factors for Good American Coffee

If the coffee is fresh, technically speaking, the first step: coffee grinding is the key factor that determines whether American coffee tastes good!

Mainly, if ground too fine, the filtration time will be too long, leading to extraction of undesirable flavors from coffee grounds, and because the time is too long, the coffee aroma will dissipate, and may even oxidize excessively, producing unwanted odors...

If ground too coarse, the extraction time will be too short, unable to fully extract the coffee's flavor, making the entire cup incomplete or bland...

Of course, along with technique comes the ingredient! For coffee to taste good, undoubtedly, the coffee beans must be fresh! Otherwise, it's like stale fish - no matter how skilled the cook, good techniques won't help...

As for taste strength, it really depends on personal preference!
