How do you make a perfect cup of coffee?

Question

Any brands or special recipes you guys use that you'd care to share/?

Answer 1

Use whatever brand of coffee you prefer. I personally have come to love Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, but it is $52 a pound this season. If you can grind your own whole beans, they will taste better if ground right before you use them. Use cold, pure mountain spring water for the best taste (remember, you are drinking this, don't use tap water!) the ideal temperature for the water to be heated is 185 degrees (not boiling!) and pressed through the ground coffee as quickly as possible. Drip coffee makers are OK, but a french press is a little better. The less amount of time the water mixes with the grounds, the less acidic your coffee will be.
That is how to make a "perfect" cup of coffee.

Answer 7

I like whole bean starbucks french roast, or any other extra bold blend. but it needs to be whole bean so its fresher, and extra bold so it has fuller flavor (even if it has less caffeine, it tastes better!)

i love smoking a good high quality honduran maduro cigar while sipping on some coffee! they go good together, like black diamond 4 year aged cheese and aged red wine.

Answer 8

Folgers instant. Stick a spoonful into a mug of very hot water. Stir. Drink. It's PERFECT.... *sniff* :')
