How to Brew a Cup of Fantastic

1. Prepare: Start with fresh water. It's 98% of every cup of coffee after all. Try it straight from the tap or filtered to customize the flavor of your favorite brew.
2. Grind: For maximum freshness, grind your coffee beans just before brewing. The faster your brew cycle, the finer you should grind the beans.
3. Brew: Use about 2 tablespoons of ground coffee for each 3/4 cup of water that will be poured through them, no matter how much you're brewing.
4. Serve: For a true cup of fantastic, sip within 30 minutes of brewing.

Quick Dessert Recipe: Coffee-Splashed Peppermint Ice Cream

Serves 6

This is our wintery take on Italy's famous affogato ("drowned") ice cream and espresso treat. For best flavor, brew the coffee about double strength and have it hot enough to begin melting the ice cream immediately.

• 6 scoops (1/2-cup each) 365 Everyday Value Peppermint Ice Cream
• 3/4 cup hot strong-brewed Allegro® coffee

Place scoops of ice cream in individual dessert bowls or glasses and drizzle each with 2 tablespoons hot coffee. Serve immediately. Garnish with a rolled wafer or waffle style cookies.
