Really pointless LJ poll:
Note: assume well-prepared, good coffee, not any of that instant crap or anything.
[Poll #1207500]
(ps if you answer anything other than "Delicious!" you are wrong :)

Date: 2008-06-20 12:12 am (UTC)As an alternate solution, the Italians have been doing freaky things with preserving coffee in various ways. You might try the medium roast coffee from the good folks of the Illy coffee company; look for the silver tins with red accents.
Another key is keeping all the stuff clean; coffee oils can build up on things and lead to nasty coffee.
As far as preparations go, one good way to do it is get a cheap filter basket, park it on top of a carafe, put in a tablespoon of grounds for each cup of coffee (8oz of water, more or less) and then drip through water that's a bit off the boil (boiling water will make it bitter - let it cool a bit).
On the other hand: all of that might be a pain in the ass.
