  1. Get a good coffee maker. It really makes a difference, believe it or not. We went through five before we found one that makes good-tasting coffee.

    Keep your coffee in the freezer, and try not to let the temperature fluctuate. That's what ruins good coffee.

    Grind the beans at home, every morning. Little grinders are small and inxpensive as well as fast and easy to use. It takes me 30 seconds to do this in the morning.

    Use good coffee! Experiment and see which strains, brands and flavors you like.


  2. fill up your 10 cup coffee pot  with cold water 5 tbl.spoons coffee grinds.i like mine strong..i put a pinch of salt in grinds to take out any bitter taste..when done add creamra and sugar if you like sugar..im making some now enjoy..  

  3. I'm assuming you have a drip coffeemaker, like a Mr. Coffee.  Buy your coffee - Dunkin Donuts brand is really good, and you can get it at the supermarket.  There are cheaper brands, but it's really a matter of taste.  Put a filter in the basket and add 1 Tablespoon of coffee for each cup you are making, and add 1 more "for the pot."  (that's what they call it.)  Fill the glass container (it's called a carafe) with cold water - filtered water if you have it)  to the line that indicates the number of cups you want to make.  Most units don't work well trying to make 1 cup - always make 2 or more.  Pour the water into the reservoir and turn it on.  Wait for it to completely stop brewing - usually it makes kind of a "spitting" sound when the last of the water comes out.  Now it's completely a matter of taste.  I love Coffeemate's Italian Sweet Cream creamer from the grocery store.  Many people take cream - about 2 Tablespoons - and 1 teaspoon of sugar (or a pack of Equal, Splenda, etc.)  

  4. I like Starbucks Breakfast Blend ground coffee then I add a flavored 'coffee mate'.  It's really good and much cheaper than going to Starbucks everyday.  : )

  5. You will need:

    - Whole beans (not ground)

    - A grinder

    - a cappuccino steamer

    - your favorite flavorings

    TODO:

    1 - Grind up the beans for however many servings...

    2 - Fill the steamer with water and ground beans

    3 - place steamer on stove until water boils. The steam will filter through the coffee beans making the freshest coffee you'll ever have.

    4 - put in creamer, cinnamon, whipped cream, sugar, etc as you like.

    ALSO,

    Try using a French Press!

    Have fun!

  6. I think any regular coffee with some Cinnamon creamer is the BEST. YUM.

  7. 1 - pull into Starbucks

    2 - place your order

    3 - pay

    4 - get your coffee.

  8. After roasting our 100% Hawaiian coffee we store our beans in a well sealed bag in the freezer and grind them only to brew. While there are many excellent ways to make a great cup of coffee we still recommend using a French Press for making the best cup. For any method you choose including the popular drip method we suggest using one rounded tablespoon (8.5 grams) of ground coffee per “cup” (about 4oz.). After adding hot water we stir the coffee. This allows the grounds to fully interact with the hot water. We then allow the coffee to steep for 3-5 minutes before plunging. Another hint is to warm your empty cup prior to pouring your coffee. This will help maintain the proper temperature of your coffee. When using a drip coffee maker we recommend using a natural paper filter. Metal and cloth filters can also be used but we feel that natural paper is best. Also remember that your water source should reach a temperature of at least 190- 200 degrees Fahrenheit to properly make a cup of coffee. Do not use boiling water as it can burn the grinds. If adding sugar or milk we recommend that you use a washed raw sugar from Hawaii and fresh cream only. Now it’s time to enjoy your coffee!

  9. Lets go with 1 sugar.

    Put 1 teaspoon (SMALL SPOON) of cofee into a mug.

    Then put 1 teaspoon of sugar into the mug

    Once the kettle is boiled pour thw water in

    Add milk

    Stir

    And your done :)

  10. That is subjective BUT

    tha officers instructed me to do their coffee this way

    12 cup Aluminum pot percolator fill the basket (about 6 - 8 tablespoons)

    in the pot is at least 6 (½) egg shells..bring the perculation for 2-3 mins

    set off to cool,,, pour into the serving decanter..

    The cool down settles the grounds and the egg shell remove the rusty water and sludge from the water tanks on board ship for crystal clear coffee


  11. maxwell house is best brand. mix that with ground coffe beans that you buy at supermarket. mmmm. medium milk two sugars. (or go to dunkins)

  12. a cup for every 3 cups of water you put in

  13. use Coffee Mate..

    the commercials say its good =]

  14. get "kona coffee" (not Kona blend or anything like that) brew it (one tablespoon of coffee for every six ounces). when its done, add a spoon full of cocoa (like the kind to make cakes. hershey's is good) for a cup of 8 ounces, and add a dinner mint. stir until it's melted, and then add creamer to your liking :)

  15. put it in the coffee maker, add sugar and cream

  16. When I make my coffee ( which i drink almost 24/7) I usually make 6 cups So i put 6 cups of water and I put 3 1/2 heaping tablespoons of ground coffee. While that is brewing i heat up milk in a sauce pan stirring constantly over medium heat until slightly frothed. After it is heated and coffee should be finished. I pour half to 3/4 of a cup with coffee and fill the rest with the heated milk and add sugar to taste
