I have 7 great tips that will change the way you brew coffee at home...

1. Buy fresh, whole bean coffee
   A cup of coffee is only as good as the beans you start with.
2. Properly store beans
   Store your coffee correctly and you'll keep its flavor fresh for as long as possible.
3. How and when you grind matters
   Grind your coffee immediately before brewing for maximum flavor.
4. The right way to measure your coffee
   Measure coffee by weight instead of volume.
5. Pre-infuse your grounds
   Chances are, your drip coffee maker skips a crucial step.
6. Brew at the right temperature
   Many automatic drip machines don't reach optimal brewing temperature.
7. Use the right water
   Using hard water that's full of minerals won't bond well with the dissolved particulates from the coffee
