Instructions For Brewing Coffee With A KitchenAid Coffee Maker

December 18, 2009    

Every morning I get up, go to the kitchen and start my coffee maker. I’m in such a routine that I normally don’t even think about it, but some mornings I guess I should. I thought it might be helpful to myself and perhaps others to post the instructions for brewing coffee…just in case.

Take one coffee filter and add coffee grounds

Place the filter (with the grounds in it) into the brewing basket

Fill coffee carafe with water to desired level

Pour the water into the water chamber

Place carafe onto the heating portion of the coffee maker

Push the on/off button

Fool proof instructions!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2 methods that DON’T work for brewing coffee with a KitchenAid coffee maker;

1.Take a coffee filter and scoop coffee grounds into it.
Place the filled coffee filter into the brewing basket
Press the on/off button
Wait for 1/2 hr, wondering why the heck no coffee is actually being made

2. Take one coffee filter, scoop coffee grounds into it
Place filled coffee filter into brewing basket
Fill carafe with desired amount of water
Pour the water into the proper place on the coffee maker
Forget to press the on/off button
Wait 1/2 hr wondering why the heck no coffee is being brewed.

This morning I chose method #2. From now on, I’m hoping to refer to my own directions on proper brewing and to be able to enjoy my coffee 1/2 hr earlier.

Have a great day~

I have an option 3 for you- don’t put the lid on the pot before sliding it into the coffee maker & wonder why it’s not working right.

I have an option 4 for you – invest in a coffee maker that has a timer on it so that you can set it up the night before and when you get up it is already brewed and ready to go.

That’s funny! it’s amazing how something so simple is so complicated at times. Like when you’re tired at 4:30 am.

Forget all that and just buy a Keurig Coffee maker. Coffee in 20 seconds. Did you hear me? 20 SECONDS! It’s the wave of the future! I’m a total convert and I’ve saved at least a bajillion starbucks dollars in the past two weeks having made this purchase.
