How to brew the perfect pot of coffee for your office

Want to know the secret to being the big cheese in your office? It’s not beating fourth-quarter sales projections, or nailing that presentation in Albuquerque…it’s the ability to craft the perfect pot of coffee for you and your coworkers!


Here are some sure-fire tips for becoming the ideal office barista:


1. Clean your materials. You wouldn’t go into surgery without properly sterilizing your tools, and you should never make coffee without cleaning your coffee maker. Scrub everything from the pot to the machine itself until they shine.


2. Don’t use tap water. Distilled or purified water make the best coffee…so don’t settle for the faucet.


3. Use cold water. The colder the water you use, the more flavorful the coffee will be.


4. Know the perfect measurements. No matter what brand or strength of coffee you are using, always use 2 level tablespoons of coffee for every 6 ounce cup of water you add.


5. Keep your coffee grounds fresh. Coffee exposed to the air loses its flavor fast. Keep your coffee grounds or beans in an air-tight container near the coffee machine.


6. Grind your own beans. Granted, not everyone has time for this, but if you can, buy whole bean coffee and then grind the desired amount right before you brew up a batch.


7. Accept praise graciously. You’re going to have a lot of fans after you start whipping up near-perfect pots of java every day. Remember, you put your pants on one leg at a time just like everyone else.
