Since Im not smoking, I have taken up to drinking coffee or lattes from Starbucks. But Im not saving any money from the quitting smoking if Im hitting up Starbucks once or twice a day to get a cup of joe. So I remembered that my MIL had bought a coffee pot and left it here for when she visits us...I decided to make a pot of coffee this morning. I planned to make enough for 4 cups (just in case) and when it was done...I took my first sip and it tasted like gasoline or something LOL It was STRONG!!!!!!! The directions on the can said that one rounded TB equaled 6 oz of brewed coffee. So I figured 4 cups of 6-8 oz coffee (filled water to the 4 cups line on the pot) would need about 4-5 TB of coffee....TOO STRONG!

So any coffee advice from you pros? I need CoffeeBean....she was like the Coffee Goddess!

LOL You guys dont listen...err read very well! I already said that I normally grind my own beans and I get them from Starbucks or Gloria Jeans. The only reason I used canned beans THIS TIME is because it was there...it was a snap decision...and I didnt have any whole beans since I havent used my cappicino machine in a while because it is broken.....

So the next person who tells me to grind my own beans with a grinder...Im gonna go make another horrible pot of coffee, pour a cup and then toast it to ya! What ya think about that?! *pant pant*

Sabrina....my FIL also gets up each morning and makes coffee for my MIL. And if he isnt fast enough about it, then she will let him know. No one wants to see even see her until she has had a cup of coffee. I think that serious coffee drinkers are probably just as bad OR WORSE than smokers LOL
