10. These days I add Cardamom before brewing.

I get it for a sweet price at the Asian market. Super yum.

When I wanna be super fancy I also add cinnamon, a few whole cloves and a cap-full of vanilla.

As for coffee, I buy Master Chef and Cafe Bustelo and mix them together. Strong and cheap - that's how I like it.

I brew mine on the stove in a percolator. I've done the whole coffee-purist thing. I'm over it. Give me punk rock slag from hell.
