When making coffee..

Hundred mile coffee is okay......I wish I had my two hundred mile bladder back....:roll::lol:
I always use a heaping scoop, and often add a half scoop extra.I like a full bodied dark roast anyway.
I hear that.... It's got so I have to stop halfway to Mom's for fluid exchange.... Good thing there's a Timmies just past Gravenhurst.
The ammount of coffee added to the pot often depends on the quality. Cheap peasent coffee, like I swill, requires a scoop and a half at least. Also there is the time of day factor, I find I need an extra extra shot in the morning to jolt my feeble mind into the RW.
This morning I added the cream first instead of the lump of sugar. It tasted almost the same. I'v been thinking about stirring with my left hand lately but I haven't tried it yet perhaps I'll get some advice from friends before I do. Maybe it's just not the thing to do, at this point in my life a major decision about a new thing like that could be emotionally overwhelming and I don't know if I'm strong enough yet to cope with the change.
Sometimes I forget to pour the water in the coffee machine and I wait and wait and wait for it to comes out out it never does till I remember to pour the water in, then I have to wait and wait and wait because a watched pot never boils. Perhaps if it were better coffee I wouldn't mind waiting so much and I really don't like instant so that's not really an option and I'm not a big tea person either I mean I'm not a little tea person either I guess what I'm trying to say is I don't have tea very often. It is polite to accept tea when you call on friends if it's offered though I think that's being properly social don't you? I mean it would seem to me to be quite rude to suggest stuffing thier ****ing tea wouldn't it? I'm not sure really.
I boil water, put one or two filters in a strainer, put the strainer on top of my large coffee cup, add two spoonfuls of coffee in the filters, add one spoonful of condensed milk into the cup, and pour the boiling water very slowly into the strainer.
It all drains into my large cup and bingo!
Delicious Puerto Rican coffee to start my day!!

To answer the OP.
I put three scoops (roughly 1 Tbsp each) in my drip maker, of freshly ground dark roast. And I almost always add a titch extra. Not for any specific reason though. Now you've got me wondering what the heck I do that for. Come to think of it, I do the same with my French press too. Hmmm.... odd.

Yeah, you know how it is eh?
When it's 6:30am I like to stand in the kitchen, wearing only a loin cloth, listening to some AC-DC while working out my bulging biceps with one arm, the other dispensing coffee grinds into the apparatus. Life of a rugged, masculine man.
