How do you guys (If you do...) make your coffee in the morning or whenever? How many scoops of coffee to cups of water do you do?:cheers:

French Press if you do not have a espresso machine! You will never go back to shit coffee pots again. It allows you to keep the oils therefore more flavor. you dont even need sugar with it, and that is coming from someone who puts tons of sugar in their coffee.

Yeah! It is actually less than recommended. However if you are using a medium or dark roast shit will be unbearably strong. I only use that with a breakfast blend or Dunkin Donuts. Oh and make it a level tablespoon, not a heaping. If it is too strong for you just experiment with a little less each time.

I go to a gas station.
Pour coffee.
Add sugar until it looks milky.
The end.

A Cowboy once told me:
"To make a great coffee, keep adding more coffee to the water. Then put in a teaspoon. If it stands upright, you have the right ratio. "
True story.

yeah.. depending on the blend.. 1-2 tablespoons.. per cup of coffee...
i usually use teaspoons though.. mainly because the measurments of a teaspoon and a tablespoon are completely INCORRECT when it comes to standard silverwear...
OR go to the the grocery store.. you can normally find a little "coffee scoop" in the coffee section.. looks like something you might find to measure protien powder for shakes or something.. and one scoop for every 3-4 cups depending how strong you like it.. i do like 3 heaping scoops for 10 cups of water.. 2 heaping for 8 2 even for six.. so on and so forth..
and i agree.. that normal coffee pots SUCK.. but unfortunately i use one as well...
on starbucks coffee it says 2 tablespoons for every 6ounces of water.. ... ... then add water to you glass if it's too strong... always thought that was strange..
btw.. 8'oclock coffee for the price is prolly the best.. i'm a huge fan of the starbucks blends but they are like 9 bucks a bag.. 8'oclock has a nice medium taste to it... AND NOT THAT COLUMBIAN BS hate that blend!! lol
Q.T Coffee Ftw. I rarely drink coffee, but sometimes you need it to so you can stay awake at school.
