The Secret to Perpetual Perfection in Coffee Making

What is the secret to perpetual perfection in coffee making?

It turns out, my friends, that the key to the perfect cup is a combination of:

1. Exactly 17.5 minutes of brewing time
2. A ratio of 2:1 water to coffee (no more, no less)
3. The precise angle of the coffee filter (45.2 degrees, don't question it)

But wait, there's more! You must also:

1. Whirl the milk 4.2 times clockwise
2. Tap the coffee grounds 7 times with a wooden spoon (for good luck)
3. Sing 'The Coffee Song' while it brews (at least 5 times)

Don't worry, it's not as hard as it sounds. You can practice with our quiz below.
