How do you make the perfect pot of coffee? I have found that the very first cup of coffee out of a pot is magic - assuming you get it right when it brews and then let the rest of the pot brew. How do you get the whole pot like that?

you don't...make each cup individually

This is the right answer. It's a chemical reaction and its not one that has a slow burn.

Try a French press. Pour a cup, put the rest in a thermos. Reheating will kill it no matter how its made.

I love an old-fashioned French press, too! Love it! So far as electric goes, nothing beats a Percolator. Yeah, I'm an oldfashionedFag. :)

I owned a coffee shop and ran a percolator as my defacto drip coffee, very popular. Don't mess with things that aren't broke.

Shut off the burner. Microwave each cup to warm it up.

Posted this a few days ago but by the time I got it together to post it landed at the bottom of a mountain of comments. People like their coffee.

If you can't get a stream of the Good Eats Episode this is a go alternative.

Well technically it has to do with the size of the grind, Temperature of the water, quality of the water (TDS), The amount of time those grounds are exposed to the water. Let's be honest though, real men don't worry about those things as much as if it works and how long until it does.

so since you know those things your not a real man because you thought about them?

Use instant French Vanilla, it's the best. Hills Bros is #1. Use hot water straight from the tap, faggot.

Now I’m no barista , my 2 cents is your getting all the good stuff in your first cup. So. A - be patient B.Put more coffee in your ratio to water. C. Pro tip a French press one cup at a time
