Makes 1 pot coffee.

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons coffee grinds per each 6 oz cup
• Filtered water
• Coffee maker

Preparation:

1. Keep coffee-making equipment clean.
2. We recommend bottled or filtered water for brewing. Freshly drawn cold tap water is acceptable.
3. Grind coffee beans just before brewing.
4. When using a paper filter, rinse it with hot water before use.
5. Measure your coffee precisely: one standard coffee measure (2 tablespoons) per each 6 oz. cup.
6. Do not boil. Coffee should be brewed between 195 and 205 degrees Fahrenheit.
7. Store brewed coffee in a thermos or use a vacuum pot to keep it hot. (Do not keep coffee on a burner or hotplate for more than 20 minutes or its flavor will deteriorate.)
8. Avoid reheating coffee: micro-waving coffee alters the chemistry of the coffee and the taste suffers.
9. Store one week’s worth of coffee in an airtight opaque container at room temperature and buy new beans as often as possible.
   

Is there a correct grind for my individual coffee-maker, and how do I find out what this is?

Every coffee-maker has its correct grind. You can find out the correct grind of your individual coffee-maker by contacting your machine's manufacturer or following these guidelines:

French Press: Very Coarse
Drip Coffee: Coarse
Espresso machine with crema-enhancing device: Medium to Medium Fine.
Commercial Style Espresso Machines: Very fine, almost like powder. (You will find that old dry coffee must be ground finer than fresh roasted coffee.)
