How do I add the spices to my coffee?

Grinding whole spices with your coffee beans not only gives you a more intense flavor experience but also saves time and effort. You can either use separate grinders for these ingredients or just wash clean any leftover bits from previous pots after brewing them together in one pot!

How much spice should I add to my coffee?

The perfect ratio of spice to coffee grounds is a matter of personal preference. Some people like their morning coffee strong and robust, while others prefer it more weakly brewed with flavors that meld into each other well without being overpowering or cloying during drinking time; there really isn't one "right" answer except for whatever suits you best! If adding whole spices like cloves into your grinder balls then work up from 1/4 teaspoon perBall until achieving desired effect.

Beware 

Dried spices are much more intense than fresh, so you should add around one teaspoon of whole spice to get the same flavor. Tastes will vary depending on what tastes good for your dish - just adjust accordingly!
