Folks, a little secret here. Want to improve your pot of coffee, add a pinch of baking soda to the grounds before brewing. Not much, about a 1/4 teaspoon for my Mr Coffee maker.

It helps neutralize the natural acid in the coffee and makes a "smoother" joe.

Roast your own at home and enter what we like to call "Coffee Heaven".

Seriously, if you're a big fan of coffee (like me) you can buy the best Arabica beans green, and then roast them yourself for about what you pay for the best (stale) coffee in the store. You'll get the absolute freshest possible, and roasted to your exact liking.

Tell me more ...

Yep, I highly recommend 8 o'clock whole bean for a great brew (and it's fairly cheap too.)

Not much, about a 1/4 teaspoon for my Mr Coffee maker.

1/4 tsp seems like too much to me, I have good results with just a few grains of salt. Like maybe one tip of the salt shaker. This takes the bitterness away nicely.

Being (almost) a Seattleite, there are espresso stands everywhere.

ONCE I tried a regular plain olde no frills espresso from a stand near my house.

Repulsive!! Undrinkable!!

The thing is, most everything they sell is flavoured with the syrups, so they can get away with buying the cheapest beans they can find.

I always buy my beans whole, grind them right before use, and brew it at almost triple strength.

NEVER Starburnt's though.
