• In Europe, a cup = 6oz. and most coffee makers use this standard.  Keep that in mind when measuring out your coffee.  I recommend two tablespoons to every 6oz. cup.  Then again, I like my coffee pretty darn strong. J
• The hotplates on most drip coffee makers will scald coffee that is left on them.  To avoid a burnt and bitter cup, move your coffee to an insulated container.  Or just drink it faster.
• Use the proper grind for your brewing method:  Espresso = very fine, cone filter = fine, flat bottom filter = medium coarse, French press = very coarse.
• Again I recommend grinding your own coffee, most store bought coffee is what they call an “all purpose” grind.  Which is usually very coarse.
