It's easier to face the world after a good cup of coffee! Here's how to make good coffee.
- Use freshly ground coffee. Store coffee in a cool, dry place.
- Choose a suitable grind for your coffee maker: coarse for steeped coffee, regular for percolator; fine for vacuum type or dripolator.
- Be sure coffee maker is washed and rinsed after each use. Use a size suitable for the amount of coffee you wish to brew.
- Use a measured amount of coffee and water: 1 to 3 tablesppons for each cup, depending on the strength desired. For a stronger beverage increase the amount of coffee, not the time of heating.
- Use boiling water to make coffee but do not boil coffee or let it stand before serving.
- A few grains of salt added to the coffee grounds will bring out the flavor.
