Take the Metro (I think the station is "Robert Schuman") to Brussel Centraal, then hop on one of the frequent trains to the airport from there. It's a pretty quick ride from downtown Brussels.

There's also a bus (Airport Line) that runs directly from Schuman area to the airport. It takes about 1/2 an hour and costs only 3 euros for a direct trip. http://www.stib.be/airport-line.html?l=en

From the European quarter the bus is much faster than the train. It's number 12 or 21 (depending on day of week and time of day) and leaves from a stop on the Schuman roundabout. It's clearly marked 'Airport Line' and you can buy tickets from automated machines near the stop (if they're working!) which are a bit cheaper than if you buy the ticket from the driver. It's 3 or 4 euros one way. If you're going to be doing the trip a lot you can even buy a card of 10 Airport line trips which cuts the price per trip to 2 euros and change.
