This topic reminds me of how my MIL use to make coffee. she would get the eight O clock coffee that you ground your self, and she used a coffee pot that sits on the stove, I have that coffee pot and I Use it sometimes. that was the best smelling coffee.
I use about 2 scoops for a 12 cup coffee pot,. 2% milk and sweet and low.
I love coffee and I can drink it anytime of the day.. but when I was pregnant with my oldest son, the smell of coffee would make me so sick.
