You will need the following items and ingredients:
Glass cup
Single cup filter
Coffee grounds - it is best to get dark roasted, coarse grounds. Trung Nguyen and Cafe' Du Monde make excellent choices
Sweetened condensed milk - DO NOT get evaporated milk, they are not the same.
Additional cup with ice
Hot water (near boiling temperature)
NOTE: Pictures for each of the steps can be found on the original website
Single Cup Coffee Brewers
First, pour about 1-2oz. of condensed milk into the glass cup. The condensed milk adds sweetness to the coffee to offset the bitterness. You can use more/less condensed milk based on your preference. Then, measure out your coffee and insert it into the bottom of the single cup filter. Typically, I use 2 heaping spoonfuls, but this can be adjusted based on how you like your coffee. More grounds for a stronger brew, less grounds for a weaker brew. Try to get the grounds as even as possible, but you don't need to be perfect. Note, the stainless steel filter is not inserted at this point. Insert the stainless steel filter over the coffee grounds. How much you screw the filter down will also determine the strength of your coffee. Screw it tightly for stronger coffee or lightly for weaker coffee. However, if you screw it down too tight, the coffee will take a long time to brew (over 10 minutes). If you cannot screw the metal filter down because you used too much coffee grounds, then just set the filter in and give it a firm push. This will compress the grounds and keep the filter in place while brewing. Now, place the filter over your cup. Add a small amount of hot water (near boiling temperature) to the filter. About a 1/4 inch of water would be good. Let the water seep through the filter until there is no water left. After the initial 1/4 inch of hot water is finished brewing, you'll have a small amount of brewed coffee. You'll then want to fill up the filter to the brim with hot water, then put the top cover on. Now, just sit back and wait for your coffee to brew. This should take 4-5 minutes. If your coffee is brewing faster, then you either need to add more coffee grounds or adjust the tighten down the filter. If the coffee is taking longer than 4-5 minutes to brew, then you've probably screwed down the filter a little too tight. Stir the coffee and condensed milk until the condensed milk is completely dissolved. Then, pour the coffee into a separate cup with ice. You don't want to use the same cup you used to brew the coffee because the overall temperature of the cup will be hot, which will melt the ice quickly.
You can either enjoy the coffee hot or cold. I prefer cold because the coffee tastes smoother and the melting of the ice helps even out the bitterness.
Enjoy your full flavored, espresso strong coffee! The key to getting the brew you like is to experiment. Adjust the amount of condensed milk to adjust the sweetness. Adjust the amount of coffee grounds to adjust the strength of the coffee to suit your tastes. In my opinion, this coffee is more like a cold treat than a cold drink. It is very, very tasty with a huge caffeine kick!
