MICROWAVE METHOD
The microwave method is perfect if you need coffee and you need it STAT. Fill your mug with water and nuke it in the microwave for about two minutes. Then stir in a tablespoon of Biohazard Coffee grounds. Don’t worry, they’re supposed to make a sizzling sound when you add them in. Your mug should sit for four minutes before drinking to allow the grounds to settle to the bottom. Make sure to leave the last sip that will be full of coffee grounds, unless you like to chew your coffee.
COFFEE BAG METHOD
The coffee bag method utilizes a minimal amount of items: hot water, a coffee filter, and string. Essentially, this method is about creating your own makeshift coffee bag and dunking it into a mug of hot water, then allowing your coffee to steep for about four minutes.

Make sure not to squeeze your coffee bag when it’s finished steeping.
