My default coffee making is to heat milk, add coffee and steep it for a couple of minutes before I sieve it and voila.

This does not seem to work for this coffee. I have tried water, boiling it with the water or milk and it simply will not mix. What am I missing?

Edit: I know about grinding, I have a burr grinder, a French press and I know the various ways to make coffee. None of the methods I know, work.

Burr grinder = bar grinder. I made that mistake.

    Should I start with the basics like grinding and extraction?

    I assume, those bags contain whole beans. If so, you need a grinder. You also need something like a V60 or an aeropress to handle the extraction and filtration. Oh, and using a scale is highly recommended, but not strictly necessary.

    If these things didn’t sound familiar, you’re in for a wild ride. This rabbit hole goes deep.

      I grind coffee, I know how to extract, I have a French press. This is not instant coffee, but it does not mix in the press, cowboy style or boiling it in water.
