How to Use a Coffeemaker

Why stop at the coffee shop on the way to work when you could brew your own at home for just a few pennies? Coffeemakers aren't expensive and are simple to operate.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Coffee Tables
• Coffees
• Cream
• Sugars
• Coasters
• Coffee Cups
• Coffee Filters
• Coffee Makers
• Coffeemaker Cleaners
• Teaspoons

1. Be sure the coffeemaker is clean.

2. Use fresh, cold water to fill the water reservoir. Put in just a little bit more than you intend to drink, as some will be absorbed by the coffee in the filter.

3. Put a paper filter in the filter basket.

4. Use the manufacturer's suggested grind for your coffeemaker.

5. Begin with 1 tbsp. coffee per 6 oz. water, then adjust for your personal preference.

6. Turn the coffeemaker on.

7. Wait until the coffee is brewed, and pour yourself a steaming cup.

Tips & Warnings
