How Do I Make Coffee In An American Machine?

17 July 2009 in Coffee maker

Hi, this will seem very silly to many of you, but I’m an Aussie girl staying in a US hotel and I have NO IDEA how you work a drip coffee machine. Would somebody have the time to help me? It seems to be the standard one I’ve seen in your movies – heat at the base, pyrex clear container above that, then a plastic container. I have figured out that water goes down when I put it together, but do I need to heat the water beforehand? Where is the coffe packet supposed to go? I’m lost. We use plungers or espresso machines at home.

  1. You’re fine. You poured the water correctly. Coffee packet goes into the filter slot. It should open. Then make sure it’s plugged in and press the button to brew. Once you do a red/orange light turns on and turns off when done. Call front desk if you still need help. The water automatically heats and drips.

  5. cold water, coffee grounds they go in a filter like area, if in doubt ask a person at a store that sells them so they can give you a demo.

  6. Put the coffee packet in the slide out, plastic container above the glass pot. Then pour the cold water in. Then turn it on. Within minutes you have coffee.
