Instructions (As If You Need Them): You could probably make coffee with your eyes closed (not recommended). So, we thought we'd show you how to tie a necktie instead. Okay, now that we've got that out of the way, here are three things you might not already know about. Brewing the Best Cup of Coffee: 1. Freshness matters. Sounds obvious, but after you open the bag, the freshness clock is ticking, so brew Boyd's coffee within one week of opening for best results. (No freezing or refrigerating, or you'll compromise flavor). 2. Use 2 tablespoons of coffee per 6 fluid ounces of water. 2 tbs per 6 fl oz. If you aren't fond of measuring, use two big spoonfuls for every large cup you want to brew. Or, just experiment until you love it. 3. Brew with cold water heated to precisely 200 degrees F.
