How to Prevent Coffee Grounds From Getting in Your Coffee Maker(or How to Make a Cheap and Easy Coffee Pod)

this is how do make a coffee pod that is cheap, quick and easy without all the extra steps! It should only take 2 minutes to do or less.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• scissors
• 2 coffee filters
• coffee(for in-between)

1. 
    
   take your coffee filter out

   take a coffee filter and fold it half. I use the big coffee filters since they are cheaper. However the easier way is to use the coffee filters that fit your machine so use those if needed.

2. 
    
   cut filter

   Then cut off the excess of the coffee filter(if they fit in your coffee filter skip this step). Then take the top filter and cut it(you will have to cut to fit in coffee maker).

3. 
    
   cover coffee filter

   place the filter in the coffee maker and scoop coffee in it. Then cover the coffee filter with the other coffee filter. I love this because I was always getting coffee grounds in my coffee and now I am not! I can now enjoy a cup of coffee and hopefully you can too.

Tips & Warnings

• don't over fill filter or grounds will still come out
• wet the bottom coffee filter slightly to it stays in place
• remember to tuck the top layer into the other coffee filter.
• may not work with all coffee makers

on 5/3/2009 That is such a clever idea! Where I work at, there are coffee grounds in the coffee, I will try that when I have the chance.

on 5/1/2009 Great idea to keep the coffee grounds out of your coffee--thanks for sharing it. I usually cold brew my coffee which helps prevent that, but for when I use the coffee maker this will be really helpful!
