Don't forget to grind that coffee in a hand crank burr grinder, so you can control every aspect of the process. And don't even THINK about using water that is even a degree away from 200F (I know someone who uses boiling water -- the monster!) While you're at it, if you're drinking tea, of course follow the RFC. Pouring the hot tea out of the pot and then adding milk is absolutely barbaric.
