Boiling is done by putting the ground coffee in a cup, pouring hot water over it and letting the mix cool while the grounds sink to the bottom. Steeping is done in a few ways. With French press, grounds are placed in the cylinder and covered with boiling water. After left in the cylinder for a few minutes, a plunger that includes a metal or nylon mesh filter is pushed down the cylinder which holds the ground at the bottom of the cylinder and allows for liquid to be poured out. Other methods of steeping are coffee bags (filter bags with coffee) and vacuum coffee maker which brews coffee using two chambers where vapor pressure and vacuum produce coffee. Pressure method of brewing is done when boiling water is forced through coffee.
At the end, separation of ground from liquid is done with filters.
