Screw coffee shops, I brew my own coffee

Being in Finland is crazily expensive compared to Hong Kong, even a leaf of cabbage has to be n times the price. Seriously, I am a poor student and I don't have the extra cash to spend on  over-expensive coffee at coffee shops. I rather save and travel instead. Also, in the small town of Mikkeli, there isn't much choice in cafes anyway... That's why I decided to brew my own coffee.


Ingredients and tools:
Filter coffee grounds
Milk and sugar
Filter paper
Filter holder

It's too troublesome to purchase a coffee filter. I just took an empty milk carton, snip off the bottom in a slanted line in one of the corners and there I have a perfect filter holder free of charge~


Step 1: heat up some milk in a glass over hot water. (Don't heat directly! It burns easily)
Step 2: put the filter paper in newly made filter holder and add coffee grounds.
Next, put the filter over a mug and pour in hot water, wait for it filter through.
Step 3: add warmed milk, sugar (chocolate powder for mocha) and enjoy!!!
