How to Brew Your Sugarwish Coffee Gift

(2 oz Bag Guide)

Lucky you! Someone gifted you Copper Door Coffee through Sugarwish (which means they really like you). ☕💛

Now you’re probably wondering: How do I make this small but mighty bag taste really good?

We’ve got you. This quick, no-stress guide will help you get the most out of your 2 oz bag, whether it arrived ground or whole bean.

What’s in a Sugarwish Coffee Gift?



Each Sugarwish coffee gift includes 2 oz of freshly roasted Copper Door coffee, and it will arrive as either:

  • Ground coffee → ready for an automatic drip machine

  • Whole bean coffee → grind it based on your brew method

Brewing with an Automatic Drip Machine

This is the easiest place to start—and honestly, it makes a great cup.

A full 2 oz bag will make about 36 oz of brewed coffee.

What you’ll need:

  • Your automatic drip coffee maker

  • A paper filter (or reusable filter)

  • Filtered water (not distilled—this matters more than you think)

Step-by-step:

  1. Fill the reservoir with filtered water

    • 36 oz for the full bag (2 oz)

    • 18 oz for half the bag (1 oz)

  2. Place your filter in the brew basket

  3. Add your coffee grounds

    • Use the full bag for 36 oz water

    • Use half the bag for 18 oz water

  4. Start the brew cycle and let it finish

  5. Pour, sip, enjoy!

(Bonus points if you’re sitting somewhere cozy or dramatically staring out a window.)
