No. Always add your condiments after brewing. You can also add ground cinnamon to the grounds. It has nutritional properties such has lowering blood sugar. You only add about a teaspoon or less to a whole 12 cup pot to avoid bitterness.

Tips on getting the best coffee grinds when grinding coffee?
Question by xDark_Genomex =): Tips on getting the best coffee grinds when grinding coffee?
I just bought a Mr.Coffee Coffee grinder, blade grinder not burr. I’m new to this grinding coffee at home thing so I don’t know whether I’m getting the best grind, but what I do know is that the end product is in need of improvement. Any useful tips on getting the perfect grind.

Well, you’ll never get the perfect “grind” from a blade (it pulverizes, not grinds) as they can’t make the coffee even. That means some will be over extracted (bitter) and some under extracted (weak).
If you’re using a blade, just do it in short bursts to prevent burning the bean via friction.
