Once you see the water and the coffee mixing and blending with one another and once it all starts boiling and you get that sweet smell, turn off the stove and strain the content of the pot into another cup and enjoy that cup.
3- Coffee Bag
For this, you need a paper filter, some ground coffee, some water, and a string to tie with the coffee bag.
