Another useless tidbit... If you use a copper filter and grind your own, try adding a paper filter for one batch. Just for a reality check. Especially if you get gunge in the bottom of the pot. The reason being too fine of a grind means dust. The dust falls through the loose copper mesh leading to cloudy, bitter batches. This is especially common with blade grinders since the output isn't uniformly sized.
Oh, and always fill your cup before the new guy makes a pot.
