Place the Melitta coffee cone on top of the mug. Place the filter inside the cone.
Pull one Melitta coffee filter out of the box. Lay it on a flat surface, and fold up first the bottom of the filter, just above the seam, and then the side of the filter, just beside the seam. The filter should maintain two folds when folded correctly. Don't make the folds too large; leave just a couple of millimeters between the seams and the folds.
Place one heaping tablespoon of Melitta grind coffee into the filter. Of course, you should experiment with different amounts of grounds - the strength of your coffee depends greatly on how many grounds you use. Melitta grind coffee is somewhere between a medium and a fine grind (between a sand texture and a sugar texture). The more freshly ground, the better!
The very first step to making Melitta coffee: Put fresh cold water into a tea kettle to boil.
Pour about eight more ounces of water slowly into the filter for a standard size cup.
Pour about two ounces of boiling water into the filter, wetting all the grounds.
