Rinse the carafe.

Use fresh cold water.

Use good beans. In Columbus I get them from a little hippy coffee store in
Clintonville, Yeah, Me Too. https://yeahmetoocoffee.com/

Grind the beans and put the freshly ground coffee beans into the filter in the basket
above the carafe.

Make sure the coffee maker is turned on. Very important.
