Hey Sandeep!

Try the pourover method for coffee: http://lifehacker.com/5907612/make-your-own-pour+over-coffee...

You might have to buy some filters and a holder for it: http://www.amazon.com/Cilio-Porcelain-Coffee-Filter-Holder/d...

If you want to try and get a taste of what it's like, I _highly_ recommend Houndstooth Coffee or Patika Coffee. They both do excellent pourover coffee.

In general, with any sort of coffee, beans are at maximum flavor anywhere from 1-3 days after roasting. Grind right before you brew and with the pourover method, go slowly.

in How to Make the Best Pourover Coffee, a direct reply to the story

I almost always do a pourover at home in the morning (except the last two mornings when I was out of filters and did a french press instead). I think they're significantly better than what you can get out of an automatic coffee maker, and easier than any other coffee-making process I've seen.

It's kind of odd that there aren't any links given to buy the stuff you need to get started:

* Coffee filter holder: http://www.amazon.com/Cilio-Porcelain-Coffee-Filter-Holder/d...

* Filters: http://www.amazon.com/Melitta-Coffee-Filters-Natural-Brown/d...

There are a couple other things I do to simplify or improve the process:

* Wet the inside of the filter holder. This'll make it easier to get the filter to stay put.

* Wet the filter once it's in the holder, but before you fill it with coffee. I think this makes a difference in the final taste.

I use a rounded tablespoon of coffee grounds per 4-5oz water (i.e. two for a regular cup of coffee, and three for a travel mug). I don't worry about water temperature outside of whether or not it was recently brought to a boil.
