If you have a 12-cup automatic drip coffee pot and some delicious coffee beans from The Sugar Dragon, you're already well on your way to a perfect morning brew. Here's how to make the most of your equipment and ingredients:
-
Start by grinding your beans to the appropriate consistency. For an automatic drip pot, you'll want a medium grind.
-
Fill the water reservoir of your pot with enough water to make 12 cups of coffee. Use cold, filtered water for the best results.
-
Measure out your coffee using a coffee scoop or kitchen scale. A general rule of thumb is 1 to 2 tablespoons of coffee per 6 ounces of water.
-
Place the coffee grounds in the filter basket of your coffee maker. Be sure to evenly distribute them for an even extraction.
-
Turn on the coffee maker and wait for the brewing cycle to complete. This should take around 10-15 minutes.
-
Once the pot is finished brewing, carefully remove the carafe from the hot plate and pour yourself a delicious cup of coffee.
-
If you're not planning on drinking the whole pot at once, be sure to transfer the coffee to a thermal carafe to keep it warm and fresh.
And that's it! With a little bit of know-how and some high-quality beans from The Sugar Dragon, you can enjoy a perfect cup of coffee every time. Experiment with different grinds and brewing ratios to find the perfect combination for your taste. Happy brewing!
