Hi there! I like how the two parts to your question are pretty unrelated.

To answer the first part your question, I’d need to know a little bit more about the method you use to make your coffee. If you’re using a conventional drip-filter coffee maker, you should stop…only if you can. The reason you’d be burning coffee in one of those is because the bottom heating plate is on as long as the machine is turned on. Coffee should only be heated for about four minutes and consumed after that time, otherwise the suspended globules of oil that make up the flavor of coffee start to evaporate and burn off. The best way to make coffee is in a French press with freshly ground whole beans!

To answer part two of your question, I think a good friend is someone who can make you a cup of coffee without burning it.

Nah, a good friend is someone you can trust, someone you can be honest with, someone that will stand by you no matter what, someone who you love to see and be with, and someone who can make you laugh at the most difficult times. In all honesty, I feel that there are an endless number of things that can make a good friend and I’ve only scratched the surface, but I think you get the picture. Friends are amazing.
