Here are 3 simple tips that will make a difference in every single cup you drink.
Tip #1
Clean Coffee Pot
A clean pot is essential and can make a world of difference in the taste of your coffee. Old oils from previous batches of coffee and soap residue left on the pot makes coffee taste bad.
Baking soda and water work well for cleaning coffee mugs and pots. Be sure to rinse extra good so no residue is left behind.
Tip #2
Clean Filtered Water
The water you use for your coffee will affect the taste more than anything. Coffee is 99% water so use clean filtered or bottled water free from chlorine and other minerals that will affect the taste of your coffee.
Using stainless steel or gold mesh filters instead of paper filters will also make your coffee taste better. Paper filters release dyes, chlorine and bleach that affect taste. If you insist on using paper filters buy the unbleached, brown paper filters.
Tip #3
Use Fresh Quality Coffee
Quality coffee costs more but will consistently produce better tasting coffee.
For the best results use quality, whole bean coffee and grind the coffee beans just prior to use. You might think it’s an inconvenience compared to ground coffee, but once you taste the difference you’ll never go back.
If you still want to use ground coffee, make sure you use a good, drip grind coffee.
Use 2 level tablespoons of coffee per 6 ounces of water. This can be adjusted for individual taste preference. Make sure to spread the grounds evenly in the coffee filter so full brewing is achieved.
Drink your fresh coffee right away for the best flavor. Coffee will break down quickly if left on a heat source. Coffee should never be reheated or microwaved.
A clean, preheated air pot or stainless steel Thermos will keep coffee hot for about an hour without hurting the flavor.
If you follow these 3 simple tips, every cup you brew will be perfect coffee.

tips
same coffee can never be perfect for everybody. so know what u like.
never use too hot or too cold milk to make cold coffee.
try not to heat coffee as it may change its taste.
always use good quality coffee powder or beans.
try to experiment with coffee, it is really worthwhile.
chocolate syrup, ice-cream, whipped cream, are all taste boosters when used with coffee.
quantity specified in above recipes may differ acc. to different tastes.
The most difficult part of making the perfect cup of coffee is in choice of the coffee brand or beans to grind. That is very subject and might take you some time to determine.
How you store your coffee will also affect the end product. I suggest buying small amounts and storing in the freezer to preserve the flavor.
Aside from that the other readers have given you great answers.
Personally I use the French Press method.

The absolute best way to make coffee is in a french press. If you don’t know what one is, or you don’t have one, and you want the best coffee you can possibly brew, you absolutely have to get one. They are not too expensive, if you can’t find one in a store you can order one off of amazon.com. You also need to have fresh, filtered water…not tap water. Use bottled water or otherwise filtered/purified water. Heat the water to just under a boil. Buy your beans whole and grind them fresh to a coarse grind, if you buy them at a coffee retailer like Starbucks they can grind them properly for you. The grind for a french press is much coarser than for commercial coffee makers. Coffee beans will make the best coffee for only one week from when they are exposed to air out of the package. Get rid of it after that. Put your coarse grounds in the bottom of the coffee press and then add the water, make sure to wet all of the grounds before filling it up to the top. The ratio should be two tablespoons of coffee for every six ounces of water. Put the top on, DO NOT PUSH DOWN THE PLUNGER, and let it brew for four minutes. After four minutes, slowly push down the plunger. You should drink this coffee within twenty minutes for the best quality. This will make you the absolute best coffee, you can flavor it with milk or sugar or whatever to your taste. It is also important to keep your french press clean…the oils from the coffee can get trapped in the screen and turn rancid if you do not clean it and dry it properly. Make sure to always wash, rinse, and dry every component of your french press well as soon as possible after you are through with your coffee. Enjoy 🙂
there is no such thing a one perfect cup of coffee!
