I took gourmet catering cooking classes decades ago and learned to make the best for restaurant room service for the VIP guests. The secret is add salt to the coffee before brewing. 1/4 teaspoon for a large pot. At home I use Cafe Bustelo brewed with a dash of salt in a French Press. I don't grind my own beans like I was taught or use super duper water at precise temp. LOL I like to have my two cups of morning coffee and drink tea the rest of the day. I like chocolate or regular milk with my meals. Most of my friends drink wine, I can't stand the stuff.
