For a 9 cup pot I perc for 6-7 minutes and make sure once it starts to perc you turn heat as low as possible (just enough to keep it going) otherwise you are burning the coffee before its even done. Takes some pratice at first but it is the best way to make coffee in my opinion.

also I am impressed to see so many fellow black coffee drinkers....I always feel like some kind of freak when the D&D workers look at me crossed eyed and says "black coffee? do you want any cream or sugar in that??"

NO DANGIT I DONT!!!!

Do people have to FAIL an intelligence/common sense test to be considered for employment there?
Sometimes when I order a COOLATA, they ask me if I want it HOT OR COLD.

DD give me the same look especially when I ask for ice coffee black (little ice).

Perced is the only way to go. Leave the basket out until the water starts to boil and then drop it in and cover quickly that way you don't have to worry about any coffee volcanoes. Mr coffee can't touch an old fashioned pot. Just don't wash w/ soap too often or its all you'll taste for a while. BLACK (even iced).

Haha, I always go through the same thing.

Have you noticed how D&D makes their coffee EXTREMELY hot just so when they pour their usual amount of cream in it doesn't get cold? I can't drink their coffee in a styrofoam cup, I always catch the smell of melting styrofoam when I do...

Luckily the Edge has moved near a pretty good coffee shop; unburnt, quality, tasty coffee.
