Fact: Unless you are buying some major debris, bean quality is not very important, as compared to 1-3 and 5. Fact: A coffee can in the supermarket often contains major debris, so be careful when you choose. (See note below).

How do I make the best cup of coffee?

Coffee Recipes FAQ - WikiFAQ - Answers to Frequently Asked Q...
The best coffee I ever tasted was while in the coffee growing regions of Mexico, in the state of Veracruz, in the town of Coatepec. The quality of the coffee was mostly due to the method of preparation than to the quality of the grains (which is at about the same level as an average colombian coffee). Here's how to make it: When the water is boiling, turn off the stove and add 8-12 table spoons of coffee (2-3 spoons per each cup).

Cigar Smoker's FAQ
degrees. - although cooler storage temperatures are definitely not a problem for cigars (as long as you maintain a reasonable relative humidity). Why do we attempt to keep them at 70 deg. then?

Begin by using the freshest possible ground coffee beans. Next, use fresh cold water. Since 98% of your cup of coffee is water it will greatly affect the tast of your coffee. Using the correct proportion of coffeeto water is important too. We suggest using 2 tablespoons for every 6 oz. of water. You can change these proportions slightly depending upon how strong you enjoy your coffee. Coffee tastes best when brewed between 190-205 degrees Fahrenheit.

What is the best way to store coffee?

Victoria Gallery and Teas -
Coffee is a highly perishable commodity. As soon as the beans are roasted, they begin releasing carbon dioxide and other gases. This permits the absorption of oxygen and moisture, which fades the flavor. Our multi-lined bags with a degasing valve only let gases out, not in. Store your coffee at room temperature, not in the refrigerator or freezer. This will guarantee optimum freshness.

If you use an automatic drip brewer, make sure it heats the water hot enough (Recommended brewing temperature is 195-205). If you use a kettle to heat water, bring it to a boil then remove it from the heat for a few seconds to cool before pouring it on the grounds. If it is convenient, grind coffee right before brewing.
