What are the best ways to make a good cup of coffee at home?

Best practices include making coffee in a drip brewing system, with freshly roasted and ground coffee beans, and with high-quality water.  If you use milk, you should use a small amount.  As an added bonus, you should buy coffee beans from small, independent coffee roasters.

How fine should I grind the coffee beans for a drip brewer?
user
In order to give the coffee a smoother taste and avoid getting large bits in your cup, I recommend making sure that the grind is fine enough to pass through a drip filter.  A particle size of about 200 microns or smaller would be about right.
