Brewing Methods for Mexican Coffee

01

Traditional Mexican Coffee Pot (Cafetera)

To brew using a traditional Mexican coffee pot, start by boiling water. Add coarsely ground coffee to the pot, typically using a ratio of 1 tablespoon of coffee for every 6 ounces of water. Pour the boiling water over the coffee grounds, cover, and let it steep for about 5 minutes. Serve hot, and enjoy the rich flavors!

02

French Press

For a French press, use a medium grind of Mexican coffee beans. Add 1 ounce of coffee for every 15 ounces of water. Pour hot water over the grounds, stir gently, and let it steep for 4 minutes. Press down the plunger slowly and serve immediately for a full-bodied cup.

03

Pour Over

Using a pour-over method, place a filter in the dripper and add medium-fine ground coffee. Use a coffee-to-water ratio of 1:16. Slowly pour hot water in a circular motion over the grounds, allowing it to bloom for 30 seconds before continuing to pour. This method highlights the coffee's unique flavors.
