coffee

Alison Jewer taught me how to do a better job of making coffee. I'll share:

Grind your beans of choice, I like Just Coffee Jenny St. Market blend, and more than you think.
The grounds don't like the super-hot boiling water, apparently it 'burns' the grounds.
Boil yer H20, take it off the burner for 10 seconds or so, pour just enough to soak the grounds.
After about a minute, add the rest of the very-hot-but-not-boiling water.
Enjoy yourself a cuppa caffeinated goodness. Trust me, it's smoother and you also get more strength in your decanter from the beans, unless you measured the amount of beans like a sleepy monkey.
