Tip For Improving Harsh-Tasting Coffee - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 -5 tablespoons ground coffee (or whatever you normally use to make one pot)
water
1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Prepare your coffeemaker with water as usual.
Put the coffee into the filter as usual.
Drip the vanilla extract over the grounds.
Run coffeemaker as usual.
Note -- this will not taste like vanilla coffee. It will only mellow the harshness of the wrong-brand coffee. My DH, who loathes flavored coffees, couldn't taste it at all. ;).
