I used to make my own coffee like this before I got a $250 coffeemaker, which doesn't make coffee that's noticeably better than this method. I noticed you didn't include any guidelines on how much ground coffee to use per what looks like a 16oz cup? Obviously, it's by your own taste, but I'd start with 3 tablespoons. If the brew comes out too strong (and stronger is always better), add a bit more hot water to it to bring it down to the strength you like. Also, if you take some kind of milk, half/half in your coffee, try using light cream. Man, I'm telling you, a strong brew and with a dash of light cream -- it don't get much better than that.

It's wonderful how there are so many products these days to allow people to make great coffee at home instead of paying a ton of money at a coffee shop for one tiny cup. I have the same Starbucks mug you have except I broke the lid on mine! :-( I loved the visuals to go along with the instructions!
