I also use the 5 cup MrCoffee adcm. Actually called 4 cup but
I fill mine right to the brim so it makes 5. Their definition
of a "cup" is laughable though...5 ounces??? What a baby cup
of coffee that is.

Anyway, I get two full mugs of coffee from a full pot.
I use 5 TBS of grounds in the filter. I try various kinds
but it's all about the same. Mainly, I'm addicted to a cup
first thing in the morning. That's all I drink anymore.

There was a time when I ground my own beans right before
brewing. Didn't like that. First thing in the morning, I
just want a cup immediately. So I ground them the evening
before so I could just turn on machine in the morning.

Finally tried buying pre-ground coffee and it tasted just
as good to me. That's when I turned my coffee grinder into
a grinder for dry ferret food to make their warm gravy
meals. All of us were happy here.

For many years in the past, I eventually get tired of
brewed coffee and will switch to instant for a bit.
Maxwell House instant is on my grocery list for this morning.
It's a nice difference for a while.

Especially good since I only drink one cup or less each
day. Many years ago, I drank the stuff all day long.
