Answers:
All you need:
- Good coffee!. If you don't have a grinder and need the coffee ground when you buy it, buy it as close to guest time as possible!. One generous tablespoon of ground coffee for every mug (or two metric cups) you make!. Local coffee shop is best source!. Grocery store should be last resort, but go for it if it's your only option!.
- Filtered water!.
- If your coffee maker hasn't been used in awhile, run a cycle through of one part vinegar and two parts water, then at least 1-2 cycles of only water to rinse out the vinegar!.
- If your coffee maker has a stop-interrupt feature that lets you pull the carafe out mid-cycle, don't use it!. Coffee at the beginning of the cycle is stronger than coffee at the end!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Try barako coffee from the Philippines!. As with other coffee it can be brewed or try drip brewing(simply pour boiling water or very hot water unto the grounds and filter the mixture with a piece of cloth or cheese cloth!. Usually one teaspoon for every cup will suffice!. Sweeten it with honey or brown sugar!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It depends more on the type of coffee grounds you get!. Go to starbucks or gloria jeans and buy some nice coffee ground!. The label will tell you how many spoonfuls you will need for your size pot =) Www@FoodAQ@Com
