Lets Talk About Coffee

I recently (very recently.) bought a five cup Mr Coffee, just to have something in Cali. (The girlfriends coffeemaker in AZ has two 12 cup carafes.)
I got a quarter cup measure (4 tbls) and use it level for 4 or 5 cups. I haven't decided yet for sure which. The Baileys I add covers a multitude of sins....
First coffee I made in california in several years.
