It really all depends on your interptetation of the word “proper”.

For me, a proper coffee involves the 3 step process of Roast, Grind, Brew. Without control over these three steps, a big part of your end result will remain a mystery and you wont know how to correct it.
For example, what coffee are you using? This makes a huge difference in your end result. Is the coffee Arabica? Robusta? How fresh is it? When was it roasted? Are you grinding it yourself? What kind of grinder are you using?
All of these factors are very important and make a big difference. A complete in-depth, but simple guide is coming soon for download: “Make The Best Coffee in 3 Simple Steps”.
