New Home Essentials - Coffee Making Supplies and How to Brew the BEST Coffee in Your New Home

You know, the first thing you want in your new home is a great cup of coffee. Without it, you're toast. Really. Toast. New home, move in day, and the coffee maker is the first thing to get unpacked.

Well, I'll share some great tips for making the BEST first pot of coffee in your new home.

1 - Pack all the supplies and enough cups for coffee drinkers in one box.

2 - Label the box really well so you will know it when you see it.

3 - Buy a fresh carton of half-n-half or your favorite cream on the way to your new home (along with some of those decadent little coffee - cookies that you know you can't move in without).

4 - Buy a jug of fresh water.

5 - Carry the box of coffee supplies with YOU, not in the moving van.

You may be thinking these tips are a little extreme, but I can assure you that as you're moving in, setting up your furniture and unpacking boxes, you're going to NEED a cup of yummy delicious coffee - and plenty of refills.

IMPORTANT: Preparing a place to sip your coffee. A nice couch pillow and a wall in a carpeted room will work well if your furniture hasn't arrived or been set up yet. Just be sure it's a comfortable place to sit, put your feet up a bit, lean your head back and relax.

Now about the coffee (I use a regular drip coffee maker - because it works well and makes more than one cup at a time) -

• Dark roast beans - my favorite are espresso beans. The brand isn't as significant as the darkness and color of the beans. Really dark beans have plenty of moisture in them and flavor up really nicely when fresh ground.
• Grind about a half cup of beans to a fine powder, say 45 seconds in most grinders. Shake the grinder and grind again for a few seconds longer to finish off the grinding process.
• Fill pot with fresh cold water (your bottled water will come in handy here).
• Add a filter and pour in the finely ground coffee.
• Allow the coffee to brew and sit in the pot for a few seconds before you pour the first cup.
• Pour cold cream into your hot coffee and allow the cream to swirl to the top.
• DO NOT STIR.
• Sip coffee and cream as they combine in the cup, allowing the swirl of flavors to fill up your mouth.
• Nibble at one of those decadent cookies.
• Sit back and relax a few extra minutes.... Unpacking will wait!

Now about finding the perfect house, to have that cup of coffee?
