Good beans, properly roasted (hopefully within the last day or so), ground within the last minute or so (using a grinder that makes the grounds the same size)... Fresh, good-tasting cold water, heated to the proper temperature, and, believe it or not, a brewing of 4.5 minutes. This is the right amount of time to extract all of the nummy flavors and leave the harsh bitter ones... Then. Don't keep the pot on the heat. The fragrant volatile oils will just evaporate, the delicious long-chain molecules that make up the flavors break down and you end up (in about 20 minutes) with sour, brackish, battery acid. Drink it, share it, don't keep it around. Do I need to mention clean cups? I didn't think so... Best wishes! Care.
