GREAT TASTING COFFEE

Basic Coffee

There are many brewing methods, so you should start by checking the instructions that came with your brewer. Here are some general guidelines:

• Start with 1-2 rounded tablespoons of ground coffee per six ounces of water.
• If you are grinding your beans, here are a few things to know: the finer you grind them, the stronger your coffee will be. For drip coffee makers, use a medium grind; for espresso makers and mocha pots, use a fine grind; for French press, use a coarse grind.
• Start with cold, fresh water. If your tap water has a noticeable flavor, use filtered or bottled water.

White Chocolate

Sweet meets its match: white chocolate and delicious Eight O’Clock Coffee. If you don’t have morsels handy you can crumble your favorite bar instead. Of course, feel free to add a little more or less than a tablespoon depending on how sweet you like your treats.

Ingredients
1 Tbsp. white chocolate morsels
1 rounded Tbsp. ground Eight O’Clock Original Coffee per 6 oz. cup
Cream or milk optional

Place the white chocolate morsels in the bottom of your cup. Brew a pot as you normally would and pour into each cup. Stir for about a minute, or until the morsels have dissolved.

Marshmallow

Candy Bar

This combination is out of this world. It works well with any of our medium roasts, but for some reason the Original variety seems particularly suited to this smooth intergalactic treat.

Ingredients
1 Tbsp. mini marshmallows per 6 oz. cup
1 snack-sized chocolate/caramel-type candy bar per 6 oz. cup
1 rounded Tbsp. ground Eight O’Clock Original or Colombian Peaks Coffee per 6 oz. cup
Cream or milk optional

Place the mini marshmallows and candy bar in the bottom of your cup. Brew a pot as you normally would and pour into each cup. Stir for about a minute, or until the candy bar and marshmallows have dissolved.

Chili Chocolate

Chili and chocolate…and coffee? Yes, you read that right. Get the best of three worlds and hold the milk unless you really can’t do without.

Ingredients
2 squares of Chili Dark Chocolate per 6 oz. cup
1 rounded Tbsp. ground Eight O’Clock Dark Italian Roast Coffee per 6 oz. cup
Cream or milk optional

Place the squares in the bottom of your cup. Brew a pot as you normally would and pour into each cup. Stir for about a minute, or until the candy has dissolved.
