Answer
A perfect example is a process of preparing coffee using the pour-over
method. It consists of well-defined steps in a well-defined order. Each of the
steps is crucial for achieving the desired final result.
Work Step by Step
Almost every activity that we perform could be boiled down to a sequence
of steps. A good example is the making of a pour over coffee. It is a good
example of an algorithm because each step is crucial to achieving a good cup
of coffee. Omitting even one of the steps or making a mistake won't lead
you to the same result.
Here is an algorithm for making pour-over coffee.
Step 1 Fill up the kettle with water and put it on the stove to boil.
Step 2 Prepare your setup by putting the coffee dripper onto the mug or
any suitable vessel.
Step 3 Soak the filter with hot water in order to avoid a papery taste.
Step 4 Let the boiled water cool to suitable brewing temperature.
Step 5 Add the desired amount of coffee grounds to the filter.
Step 6 Pour a little water over the grounds and let the gases escape.
Step 7 Pour the rest of the water over the grounds in a spiral pattern and
don't let the water pour directly onto the filter.
Step 8 Wait for the water to drain.
Step 9 Clean your tools.
Step 10 Enjoy the coffee.
