Pour 4 cups of fresh, cold water into the pot.

Place the pot over high heat and bring water to a rolling boil, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Once the water reaches a rolling boil, remove the pot from heat.

Add 1/2 cup coarsely ground coffee to the hot water and stir quickly to saturate all grounds.

Let the coffee grounds settle without stirring for 2 to 3 minutes.

Gently rinse the inside rim of the pot with a small amount of cold water to collect stray grounds.

Tilt the pot slowly and pour coffee into cups at a 45-degree angle to avoid disturbing grounds.

Drink the coffee immediately while hot; if brewing more, allow grounds to resettle for another minute before pouring a second cup.
