How to make a coffee with a pot
Infusion of coffee ground seeds
We are so used to drinking coffee made with espresso coffee machines that we have lost the awareness that coffee is really an infusion of the ground seeds of the coffee tree or coffee plant.
Formerly, when there were no coffee makers, the coffee was made by introducing the coffee grain, moderately ground, in a container with boiling water and let it rest for a while, just as we prepare an infusion of chamomile or another medicinal plant.
Maybe, just out of curiosity, we should try the traditional and homemade coffee recipes we propose below.
Ingredients for 6 persons:
- 6 tablespoons of not very finely ground coffee
- 6 cups of water.

- Milk (optional)
Preparation
- Grind coffee with a grinder in order to obtain a thick powder. The coffee grinder can be purchased but it must be special for coffee pot preparation Espresso coffee is usually too thin to prepare homemade coffee.

- Pour the boiling water into the coffee pot.
