The Best Way to Make Drip Coffee

My coffee maker was all moldy and slimey, so I bough a cheap little drip
cone, that I fill manually with water. It sits right on my coffee cup,
so I use a measuring cup to heat the water in the microwave and then
pour it into the cone.

Each morning I think:

What is the best way to fill it so that I use the coffee maximally.

Should I fill it to the brim, and keep filling it so it stays at the top
until I use the required amount of wtter?

Or should I let it sit at the bottom, and let the cone fill with very
little water?

What do you guys think?

I can't resist :)
I think two things:
1. Cleaning your coffee maker properly on a regular basis will obviate the
mold/slime issue, and
2. A Microsoft public newsgroup for the .NET environment is an unusual place
to post questions about making coffee. Unless, of course, the coffeemaker is
controlled by software running on .NET.
 
I am not sure it is the most efficient, but I prefer using more grounds per
the amount of water. Then, I get a much stronger cup of coffee and a better
buzz for my .NET development (trying to pull this back on topic?).

Elidel,

Drinking coffee is a personal taste, which can be depended from the way you
make it.

It even can be depending from your personal financial situation.

In past I was more times in a communist country (where the coffee was then
very expensive) they made all coffee by putting that in a glass and than
stir it with coocking water and let it become coffee by waiting some
minutes.

Now I know that they use more and more, what in that country is called the
American way of making coffee.

In addition, I assume of course that you ask this as a metaphor with making
programs, where it is in my opinion the same what often is forgotten by a
lot op people.

Just my thought,

Cor
