How To Brew A Pot Of Coffee

Drip, or filtered, coffee can be made in electric drip coffeepots or simply by placing a filter holder over a pot or cup.

Things You’ll Need:

* Ground Coffees
* Coffee Cups Or Mugs
* Coffee Filters
* Coffee Makers
* Coffeepots
* Tablespoons
* Teaspoons

Using an Electric Drip Coffeepot

1. Fill the coffeemaker’s carafe with fresh, cold water.

2. Place a filter in the coffeemaker’s filter basket.

3. 2 tbsp. coffee for every 6 oz. of water. (Sometimes the cups marked out on the carafe are more than 6 oz., so check your coffeemaker’s instructions to see.)

4. Pour the water into the coffeemaker’s reservoir and place the carafe on its base.

5. Turn the coffeemaker on. Using a Filter Holder (Manual Method)

1. Boil water, then let it rest for a few minutes to achieve the optimum temperature (195 to 205 degrees F).

2. Place a filter holder over a coffeepot or cup.

3. Place a filter in the holder.

4. Add 2 level tbsp. ground coffee per 6 oz. of water, or 2 oz. coffee per quart of water.

5. Pour a small amount of water - about 3 tbsp. - over the grounds to wet them.

6. Wait a few seconds for the grounds to expand.

7. Pour the rest of the water over the grounds. Let the water drip through the grounds, but be sure to remove the grounds before the last of the water has drained into the pot or cup. Coffee grounds can overextract and get a bitter taste.

Tips & Warnings

* Make sure you have the right size and shape of filter for your pot: either a cone-shaped filter or a flat-bottomed filter.
* Filter holders are available in a wide range of sizes.
* Keep the coffee warm on a burner or hot plate for no more than 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, coffee becomes bitter. Reheating coffee increases its bitterness and is not recommended.

Hamilton Beach Deluxe Brewstation 47454 Coffee Maker

Called the BrewStation because there is no “pot” involved, this 12-cup coffeemaker features a thermal-lined insulated coffee tank that maintains the brew temperature and keeps coffee hot and fresh inside until it’s ready to be served.

Simply depress the trigger with a mug for one-hand dispensing–no carafe means no pouring, no spills, and no hotplate that can sometimes scorch coffee or make it bitter. With simple push-button convenience, the machine offers four brew cycles, which include normal, flavor plus, 1 to 4 cups, and decaf.

For added convenience, the machine can be programmed for “wake-up” coffee, and its adjustable auto shutoff provides peace of mind. In addition, mid-brew dispensing makes the appliance handy for anybody in a hurry. Other highlights include a large digital clock/timer with blue backlighting, indicators for water filter cleaning and replacement, easy-to-view liquid level with measurement markings, and a swivel base.
