Set a paper filter in a dripper and set it on the glass pot. Place the ground coffee beans into the paper filter.
Boil water in a stainless steel pot. Once boiling, remove from fire and let pot rest on a wet towel for about 20 seconds to lower the temperature.
Slowly pour hot water onto the ground beans. Let it rest for 20 seconds.
Pour coffee into a warmed cup then serve it with milk and sugar.
Top tip from the chef: Medium coarse ground beans taste best. Finely ground beans produce a strong and sour coffee flavor, while largely ground beans produce a lighter taste. No grinder? Ask your neighborhood coffee chain to grind beans for you.
Top tip from the chef: Quantity of coffee beans needed per cup: 1 cup = 15 grams; 2 cups = 26 grams; 3 cups = 35 grams; 4 cups = 42 grams.
Once the coffee is ready and in the cup, slightly tilt the cup then pour milk slowly in a thin stream, forming your design.
Use a toothpick to outline a design on the milk.
