There is no such thing as a ‘correct’ way to brew ‘good’ coffee– but a simple strategy:

Get a ‘clever’ dripper (on Amazon), just put in a cone filter, put in ground beans (however much you want, depending on how strong or weak you want it), ‘bloom’ it with hot water (cover it with hot water), let it sit for a few minutes, then add more hot water to the top, wait a few minutes, then extract it into a cup!

Probably the most straight-forward way to brew good coffee.
