Tips on brewing that perfect cup of coffee:
Start with GOOD WATER - nothing from the tap!
Try spring water, something that has been filtered.
This is probably the MOST IMPORTANT PART! Bad
tap water makes a bad cup of coffee. Don't
use tap water when brewing that expensive kona
coffee.
Use a PERCOLATOR - not an auto-drip.
Grind the beans just before you are ready to
brew. Use FRESH BEANS, or beans that have been
stored in an air-tight container. Pre-ground beans
won't be as fresh - never grind the whole bag
of beans at once unless you HAVE TO. Grind as
needed. A finer grind will yield a stronger and
better brew.
Use a good clean cup - a smaller 8 oz. cup is
best (nothing larger) otherwise your coffee will
be cold by the time you drink it all.
