Even if I purchase Starbucks beans and grind them and use a great coffeemaker, it still never measures up. Any ideas?
Answers:
The first thing is water. Coffee is 95% water, so if you use tap water, it will taste like tap water. Get distilled water or filter your own. The best water for coffee has no taste at all.
Go to a Starbucks one afternoon and the barista there will be able to explain how they make the coffee and what you can do at home to get the best results. Also, look in the drink pick up area for small pamphlets that you take home that explain the methods pretty well. It may take a few tries even with the knowledge because not all coffee makers are alike, but it will be a good start.
