At Starbucks, they use two tablespoons, or 10 grams (0.35 oz), of ground coffee for each six ounces of water. A member of Starbucks' Coffee Education Team says that "Too few coffee grounds result in over-extracted or bitter coffee. Too many grounds result in under-extracted coffee that does not achieve the full flavor of the blend." This step implies that you are, in fact, grinding your coffee. If you want to make your brew taste just like Starbucks, don't buy pre-ground coffee. Grind it yourself just before brewing for optimum freshness.  Depending on your brew method (see part 2) you will need a different level of coarseness for your brew. Pour-over brewing requires a fine grind (like granulated sugar), traditional drip coffee is best with a medium grind (like sea salt) and coffee presses require a coarse grind.  Over-extracted coffee tends to taste considerably worse than coarser, under-extracted coffee, so when in doubt go for an under-extracted (coarse) grind.  To make it taste like Starbucks coffee, you might want to use the blends available for purchase at Starbucks franchises. This may seem like a silly point. Water is just water, right? Wrong. To make Starbucks-quality coffee, always use fresh water, filtered of impurities. Additionally, be sure to heat the water to "just off boil," i.e. between 195 and 205 degrees Fahrenheit (90 to 96 degrees celsius). As alluded to in Step 3, it's important to use fresh coffee. This means grinding it yourself immediately prior to brewing, but also keeping your beans in an airtight container. Be sure not to keep your coffee in refrigerator or freezer, even in airtight containers. Another Starbucks' coffee educator says these two appliances are "“not the friend, but rather the enemy of good coffee." This is because while being stored in refrigerators and freezers, moisture develops which damages the flavor.

Summary: Use the right proportion of coffee to water. Choose a good grind method. Use quality water. Use fresh coffee.


You will need a mop and large bucket, warm water, and a mild, pH neutral cleaner. Do not use ammonia, bleach, or any other highly acidic or alkaline cleaner, as it may damage the concrete finish. Good neutral cleaners to use include:  Mild dish soaps Castile soap Neutral stone cleaner pH neutral floor cleaners or detergents Use about one gallon (3.8 liters) of warm water. Stir in one-eighth to one-quarter cup (30 to 60 ml) of mild soap or pH neutral cleaner (or the amount recommended by the manufacturer). Once it’s saturated, wring it out thoroughly. The mop should be only slightly damp for cleaning the floor: you want the water to dry quickly, and don’t want excess water sitting on the concrete. Start in a corner farthest from the door and make your way toward the door, cleaning small areas at a time. As you mop, frequently re-dip the mop in the water and wring it out thoroughly. Consider having an oscillating fan blow air into the room to help the floor dry quicker. When you have cleaned the entire floor, dump out your cleaning water, rinse the mop and bucket, and refill the bucket with clean, warm water. Mop the floor again in the same way with the clean water, dunking and thoroughly wringing out the mop often. Start at the farthest corner and work toward the door again, working in small sections.

Summary: Gather your supplies. Fill a large bucket with water. Dunk a clean mop into the cleaning solution. Mop the floor in small sections. Remove excess soap or cleaner.


When they've reached the fall-apart stage, take them out to get them ready for the next step. It's time for the final stage of cooking, which will ensure the ribs have a crispy exterior. If you treated your ribs with a rub, you can skip the barbecue sauce, but either way it adds a flavor burst to the ribs. Paint the top of the ribs with a liberal amount of barbecue sauce. You can whip up your own barbecue sauce by simmering the following ingredients together for 30 minutes beforehand:  1 1/2 cups ketchup 1/2 cup brown sugar 3 garlic cloves, minced 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon salt Let them cook for an additional 10 minutes under the broiler, until the tops of the ribs turn brown and crispy. Place them on a plate to cool for a few moments. Barbecue beef ribs are excellent with  potato salad,  macaroni salad and extra barbecue sauce.

Summary: Remove the ribs from the oven or grill. Open the foil and add  barbecue sauce. Place the ribs under the broiler. Remove the ribs from heat. Serve the ribs.
