Step 1
Always make sure your coffee maker is sparkling clean. Use fresh, cold water. Store coffee in an airtight container in a cool place. The refrigerator would be ideal. Always use the right grind of coffee for your coffee maker for the best flavor. Measure coffee accurately. Allow 2 level measuring tablespoons for each 2/3 cup of coffee. These proportions will vary with individual taste and the coffee maker itself. Adjust to your liking. For best results, use the full capacity of your coffee maker. Never boil coffee.
