Many of us love to visit our favorite coffee shop to get a good cup of coffee.  There is nothing like a cup of hot coffee with a deep aroma and full flavor.  These wonderful cups of coffee not only taste great, but they also keep us on the move.  A good cup of coffee makes us appreciate our days, and gives us the energy to enjoy all life has to offer, and it also helps us get through those difficult days too.

But do you ever feel like you can't get that good cup of coffee when you need it?  The coffee shop is too far away, and so you have to settle for the office coffee that has been sitting on a burner for who knows how long.  You also may wish that you could just make a good cup on your own, and didn't have to drive to a good coffee shop every time you want a cup of yummy goodness to give you jump-start.  

Many of us have tried to replicate the coffee that our favorite coffee shop makes, but it just doesn't seem as robust.  We buy great beans from a good source, a grinder, and the latest and shiniest coffee maker.  However, the coffee just doesn't match the quality of our favorite shop.

This is were we begin to look at the factors that go into making A Good Cup of Joe.
