How Do You Brew House Blend Starbucks Coffee?

- Starbucks House Blend coffee, either pre-ground or whole bean

- A coffee maker (drip coffee maker, French press, or pour-over)

- Fresh, filtered water

- Coffee grinder (if using whole beans)

- Measuring spoon or scale

- Coffee mug or carafe

Instructions:

1. Measure Coffee: Use 2 tablespoons of ground coffee for every 6 ounces of water. If you prefer a stronger or milder brew, adjust the amount of coffee accordingly. For a full pot of coffee, use approximately 1/2 cup of ground coffee.

2. Grind Coffee: If using whole beans, grind the coffee beans to a medium-coarse grind. The grind should be slightly coarser than table salt.

3. Prepare Coffee Maker: Set up your coffee maker according to its instructions. Place a paper filter in the filter basket and add the measured coffee grounds.

4. Add Water: Pour fresh, filtered water into the water reservoir of the coffee maker. Make sure not to exceed the maximum water level indicated on the coffee maker.

5. Brew Coffee: Turn on the coffee maker and allow it to brew the coffee. This typically takes around 5 to 10 minutes.

6. Enjoy Your Coffee: Once the coffee is brewed, carefully remove the carafe or mug from the coffee maker. Pour yourself a cup of coffee and enjoy!

Additional Tips:

- Use fresh, cold water for the best flavor.

- Clean your coffee maker regularly to prevent buildup and ensure optimal performance.

- Store coffee beans in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to preserve freshness.

- If you prefer a richer taste, consider using slightly more coffee grounds or a finer grind.
