Tired of making less than stellar java in your drip maker? Getting great coffee at home is simple with the right ingredients!

To complete this How-To you will need:

Fresh beans
Grinder
Cold water
Coffeemaker
Milk
Flavored syrup
Liqueur

Step 1: Decide on a grind

Figure out what grind your coffeemaker requires. Cone-shaped filters require a fine grind, while basket-shaped filters take a coarser grind.

Step 2: Grind beans

Grind the coffee beans. Pulse for 10 to 15 seconds for a medium grind, and 15 to 20 seconds for a fine grind.

Tip: When using a blade grinder, pulse the blade and shake or tap the grinder to achieve a uniform grind.

Step 3: Measure grounds

Measure two rounded tablespoons for each six ounces of water.

Step 4: Measure water

Add cold, filtered water to the coffeemaker's basin and close the lid.

Step 5: Brew coffee

Start the coffeemaker and enjoy the aroma as the coffee brews.

Tip: Resist the temptation to sneak a cup before the coffee is finished brewing. The flavor won't be balanced until the brewing cycle is complete.

Step 6: Serve

Serve the coffee immediately. Well-made coffee can be enjoyed black, with milk, or flavored with syrup or your favorite liqueur.
