Gold Coast Blend beans, ground Turkish (typically the finest adjustment on industrial grinders).
Five scoops (~10 tablespoons) in a #4 Melitta cone
Pour in just under 2 cups of near boiling water
Catch in mug
Drink
occasional option: little splash of whole milk
PS: I've tried all sorts of beans from roasters around the country, but these Starbucks Gold Coast Blend beans have been my favorite for about the last couple years. It's nice and strong and this method seems to bring out the natural sweetness and smoothness, sugar is never needed.
