* A few simple rules will help guarantee a great cup of coffee! Always buy the right grind of coffee for your particular coffeemaker. Store opened coffee in the refrigerator up to 8 weeks or for longer storage, in the freezer up to 6 months. It is important to clean your coffeemaker thoroughly to remove residue from old coffee which affects the flavor of freshly brewed coffee. If your tap water has any off flavors, you might want to try a water filter or use bottled water. Never boil coffee once it is brewed. The standard measure of grounds for each cup of coffee is 2 level tablespoons to 6 ounces of cold tap water. Many coffeemakers have settings for brewing strength. If the results don't suit you, use more or less coffee or water to obtain the desired strength, but remember that the best coffee comes from a coffeemaker that's at least three-fourths full. When planning how much coffee to provide at a party, use one pound coffee for thirty to fifty 6-ounce servings, depending on strength desired. Be sure to check your coffee can for serving information as the amount of coffee produced will vary according to the type of coffee used.
