How to brew great coffee for one person

Love your morning coffee, but no one else shares the pot with you? Can't stand instant coffee, but hate throwing out the left-overs that you brew in the drip coffee-maker? My husband is a tea-drinker most of the time, but he developed this proportion to brew me my two cups of coffee in the morning without wasting any. It is delicious.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Drip coffee-maker
• filters
• Coffee, preferably Kroger Breakfast Blend
• Tap water
• Large mug to hold two cups at one time.

1. Place paper filter in the coffee pot....careful that it is not askew or grounds will get into the pot.
2. Place three tablespoons of coffee in basket. Most scoops that come with coffee are one tablespoon.
3. Gather some cold tap water in the decanter....fill the machine until the level mark on the side of the machine indicates 4 1/2. Dump rest of water in decanter in sink.
4. Replace decanter and turn on coffee-maker.
5. Two delicious cups of coffee to start your morning As soon as coffee has brewed, pour into a large mug that holds two cups at one time. Do not allow coffee to remain on the warmer plate for very long, or it will become bitter. By pouring it into the mug all at one time it does not get that scorched taste from just a little bit being in the pot.

Tips & Warnings

• I love my coffee sweet and white.....I use 8 teaspoons of sugar and 4 teaspoons of non-dairy creamer in this cup of coffee! It is what I call a GRANDE! I just do this once a day.
