Learn to make a good cup of coffee. The Almon protocol is nine teaspoons of coffee per each eight cup pot. When alone, you can adjust and weaken this to your liking. I use five teaspoons. I drink a lot of coffee. The global protocol is one tablespoon of coffee grounds per three ounces of cold water. Do this only when you have wonderful pots like those used in Star (Str) coffee spots. On more than one occasion an espresso machine has been used to warm water for flavored instant coffee. For company you may get French Vanilla coffee. You could make or have it made with a French Press, or serve it as ice coffee. Know the discounts and coupons offered at each of your coffee spots.
Remember where refills can be had for free or for little money. Here is where you tip (when you can).
Ceramic teacups and saucers or informally mugs can be provided, handles pointed to four o’clock, and used to hold black coffee. You can preheat the serving pot, thermos, carafe or a cup by pouring hot water in it, letting it sit, and then pouring it out.
Informally, a personal size Sippy-glass may be used, with the lid removed indoors. Remember when it was a thermos, and it had its own cup with a handle? Real Sippy cups (for
children) still have handles. Now you get coffee in a paper glass: the new way you were taught to drink it, with a wrap around sleeve, unless you ask for a (cup of) coffee “for here,” (and get a ceramic cup and a saucer.) You can omit the saucer when coffee is served in a mug. I serve coffee in a 12oz stemmed iced tea/claret glass; hold it by the stem, does not spill when you walk, beats the hell out of cardboard or Styrofoam, but still its drinking coffee from a glass.
