- 2 tablespoons medium-ground coffee
- 6 ounces boiling hot water 180 ml
- sweetened condensed milk adjust it as per your liking.

Instructions
Brew The Coffee
- Rinse the filter with hot water just before brewing. This process helps the ground coffee bloom and drop better.
- Add condensed milk to the serving cup. The amount of condensed milk depends on how sweet and strong you like your coffee.Regular Strong Coffee – add 1 tablespoonSweet Coffee – add 2 tablespoonsExtra Sweet, that tastes like candy – add 3 tablespoonsI added 2 tablespoons of condensed milk.
- Keep the plate and the compartment with tiny holes over the serving cup.
- Add ground coffee to the filter and spread it evenly.
- Now press gently with the umbrella-like part (plunger).
- Add water to a saucepan and boil over medium-high heat. You can also use an electric kettle to boil the water.
- Let the boiling water sit for 60-90 seconds. This will allow it to cool to 195°F 205°F (boiling water will burn your coffee grounds).
- Slowly pour 2 tablespoon of hot water over the coffee.
- Cover the filter with the lid and let it sit for 5 minutes. This step will slow the drip rate, resulting in flavorful coffee.
- Now, remove the lid and slowly pour the remaining water over the coffee. The brewed coffee will start to drip in the cup.
- Cover with the lid and let it brew for 8-10 minutes.
- After 8-10 minutes, remove the filter from over the cup.
- Note – If you want to drink hot coffee, serve it at this stage.

Notes
I used my 6 oz Phin filter to brew the coffee but you can choose the brewing method that you like. French Press, Moka Pot, or a simple Drip Machine also works fine. If you have an espresso machine, then use one shot of espresso in place of brewed coffee.
