I make very good coffee, for folks who like it strong, and not be too watery. My grandfather made my first cup of coffee when I was about 6 years old -- heavily sweetened Turkish Coffee.
I do it this way: (1) I use a hot water kettle (teakettle). It can be either a stovetop whistle kettle, or an electrical kettle. (2) I use a Melitta style coffee cone, with Melitta style cone coffee filters. (3) I usually check for the roast dates, to find coffee that was recently roasted, preferably within a week of the purchase date, but coffee roasted within the last few months is good. (4) I take a bit of time to select the roast style, brand name, and country origin of the coffee. Most often, I prefer a medium or dark roast. (5) I usually buy whole bean coffee, but ground coffee is also good. I prefer it whole bean, because it stays fresh longer that way. (6) I store the coffee at room temperature, in the kitchen area. Refrigerating & Freezing can be a problem, especially if other refrigerated items taint the fragrance of the coffee beans. (7) I use a home coffee grinder -- the kind the grinds enough coffee for 2 to 6 servings. I use a Capresso Coffee Grinder (purchased from Beds, Baths, and Beyond). I've used a Bosch Coffee Grinder, which is also excellent. Any efficient coffee grinder is good. (8) I rinse & re-clean the coffee cone, and serving cups in hot or boiling water, immediately before making the coffee. I do this to ensure that no alien flavors or tastes will taint the coffee experience. (9) I grind the coffee to a suitable pre-tested degree to ensure that it enriches the drink to the fullest potential. I usually do a half dozen or more grind-spins. (10) I use spring water -- usually spring water bottled from the source. I either boil a stovetop kettle until it whistles, or I let the electric kettle run its full course to ensure that it's properly heated. If I leave it and come back, then I'll reheat the water. (11) I dump the ground coffee into the cone & filter. Then I place the cone filter over the cup, and pour the hot water directly into the cone. (12) Any creamer style is fine. I've used canned coconut milk before, as well as half&half organic cream, but these days I just use whole mild as a coffee creamer. (13) Any sweetener is okay. These days I just use milk & cinnamon, or I'll have it black with nothing added. (14) I usually use cinnamon, but will also use nutmeg or powdered chocolate. I either use Ceylon Cinnamon, or Saigon Cinnamon (and I prefer the Ceylon Cinnamon). I shake it into the cup, depending upon how much is desired. For me, I use about a dozen shakes (a half-dozen at the bottom of the cup, and a half dozen on the surface of the coffee). Cinnamon is proven to help regulate blood sugar. (15) So, there we have it, the coffee is ready to drink.
