How to Make Coffee? Well, that’s a tricky question. First, you have to think about how you want it to taste. Would you like to have your coffee strong, mild or weak? Do you want flavoring in your coffee, like vanilla or chocolate?
You may just want to grind your own beans or buy your coffee pre-ground. There are many different factors involved making coffee. Let’s start with…
Important: Your coffee making equipment should at all time, be thoroughly rinsed and cleaned!
So, let me ask you, how many cups you would like to make, if just one cup, I recommend you get an easy to use…
Single cup coffee brewer:
Welcome to the world of single cup coffee brewers. There are 3 different types of these small, easy to use makers; they are K-Cup Coffee, Disc Coffee and Pod Coffee. Remember, if you buy a K-Cup Maker, you can’t use pods or discs in it and vice versa. The most popular single cup brewer is the K-Cup brewer.

Or for more coffee get a…
Multiple cup coffee maker:
Do you want more than one cup of coffee, then I recommend you get the Cuisinart Brew Central Coffee Maker at Amazon.com for about $65 save roughly 55%! The question, How to Make Coffee will be a thing of the past!
Or an even better one, in which you can use either, pre-ground coffee, or whole coffee beans. Voted best coffee maker 2011 on my site! The Cuisinart DGB-900BC, for only about $365 $140 You save roughly (60%)!!!
French Press:
Finally, if your budget is really tight, then you’re gonna have to get a French Press for about $20 from Amazon.com, although I really recommend you buy a coffee machine rather than a French press. A coffee machine is much more easy to use, less messy and it lasts much longer.

Now that you’ve got the equipment, let us move on to…
The beans you will purchase, all depends on the equipment you have at your disposal. So, I have given you a list of coffee beans you can buy at Amazon.com for a specific coffee maker. Click HERE to get The Best Coffee Beans!
The water you’re using to make your coffee with must always be clean and rather use bottled or filtered water if your tap water has a strong taste or odour of chlorine.
(The Cuisinart Grind and Brew coffee maker uses a charcoal filter to filter the water and gets rid of impurities like chlorine odour and taste.)
The water used for your coffee, greatly impacts the taste of your coffee, so always make sure the water is top quality!
