Making the perfect pot of coffee?

natures_dragoneer asked:

I was never a big coffee drinker , but drinking coffe alot , especially in the morning when I get up .. Here’s the situation. First off I buy Foldger’s Gourmet Special for coffee. I tried three flavors so far and right now trying carmel drip. I store my cofee in the freezer, people have told me to either store it in the fridge or freezer. Not sure if the freezer is the correct way to store it ? So I have a 4 cup coffee pot and not sure how many tablespoons of coffe to put in the filter. tried 4 to 6 tablespoons and then someone told me that it was too much! so added 2 tablespoons like suggested by the person ( cause I am using only a 4 cup coffee maker ) , buit the coffee was really weak. I went back to 4 tablespoons of coffee and can drink the coffee to a point , but really bitter and yucky tasting !!
Oh and I don’t use tap water I use spring water from a spring water.

    Your first problem is your using foldgers, and your second problem is your using foldgers.

    Ewww dont use Foldgers! I use:

    1/3 cup gourmet coffee beans (fresh ground in my own grinder)

    fill w/ cold water (type doesnt matter)

    Store coffee beans in freezer. A 4 cup maker should take 1/3 c. coffee. I like mine cold w/ skim milk and Equate and some flavor sometimes.

    putting the coffee in the freezer is a good way to preserve the taste but keeping it in the cabinet is alright too it doesnt get bad tasting unless you leave it for a long time and dont use it.

    you should use one teaspoon per cup of water plus a half teaspoon so for your coffee machine i would use 4 and a half teaspoons to make a full pot.

    for the best water you want filtered, as empty of stuff as you can, that way it can take more of the coffee flavor from the beans. don’t freeze your coffee, keep it cool, not cold. you’ll have to experiment with the tablespoons to get to where you like it. if you make it too strong, just add a little really hot water to it. and if you want better taste, buy a french press, they’re easy to use and fast–add really hot water, press down, done.
