Answer 1

Just follow the directions for brewing coffee for your coffee maker (usually 1 teaspoon per cup and one for the pot). If you prefer a stronger/weaker brew adjust accordingly. If it is fine ground you should consider either an espresso machine or French press to get the most out of it. Good Luck!

Answer 2

The Real way to make puerto rican coffee is to not use a coffee maker. You use a pot on the stove. Add water, 1 cup for each cup of coffee. When the water heats up, add the coffee. Add how much you want depending on how strong you like it. Cook it for a minute or two, then drain the coffee through a coffee drainer, its a mesh type of instrument. This way you take out the grounds, then throw them away. Put the coffee back into the pot & add milk & sugar. Heat it & stir until the milk gets a little foamy.

That is the old fashioned way. Alot of people now a days just brew the coffee in a coffee pot & then put it on the stove & add milk & sugar.
