In this thread I will reveal the secret to making world class coffee.

It's a simple process, really. Just follow these simple steps and you too can make coffee like a boss.

1) Fill pot with water

2) Pour water in coffee maker

3) Start Coffee Machine

4) Come back five minutes later to a kick ass pot of hot water

5) Cuss at yourself for forgetting to add the coffee to the basket

6) Fill pot with water

7) Pour water in coffee maker

8) Be startled when the water hits the hot element inside the machine and spits.

9) When recoiling in horror from the odd sounds the machine is making be sure to spill large quantities of water all over the counter

10) Cuss at yourself for being a complete idiot

11) Add coffee to machine

12) Hang head in shame


I felt like I needed to share my failure this morning just so I could run in an post a snarky picture to myself.

BTDT, that's why I now set up the coffee pot before I go to bed, mornings are not my best time to have to think about such things, I just want to push the button and enjoy coffee not try and remember how to make it...

Accidentally put the Folgers instant coffee in the maker at school. Went to toss the filter and there was nothing in it. The pot that we "brewed," so, so gross.

Mine has a timer so I don't even have to push a button, all I have to do is get out of bed and find the kitchen.

The whole thing was a horror show. Please do not attempt to interject facts or reason into whatever it was I did in the kitchen this morning.

Normally I set mine up the night before too. And I'm usually not that much of a train wreck in the morning. I'm an early riser/morning person.

This morning, however......

I filled my coffee pot up the night before and set the timer and went to bed.


I got up the next morning and there is no coffee pot in the machine.  Hot coffee is all over the kitchen counter and the floor.


Where is the coffee pot, dear?


After you went to bed, I used it to water the plants.  It's on top of the TV in the living room.

Well... I use a keurig these days (but with my own grounds)  ... but I've had a few times like that anyway.

Turn on the machine.
Fill the reusable filter.  
Add fake sugar and creamer to the mug (I add it first sometimes).
Machine is finally warmed up and ready.
Put mug under spout-whatever-thing.
Close lid and select large cup.
Just as the machine stops notice the reusable filter sitting on the counter.

Crap: a mug of watered down creamer and fake sugar.
double crap when it's the last of the creamer too.

I agree completely. Ever think about shaving? Here, take the sharpest blade we can find and take it to your throat first thing in the morning while you're still waking up!

This is what I do.  Except the other night I apparently forgot to actually put water in the machine.  So i got up to a pot of hot air.  It was lovely.

Dupe, double dupe, and triple dupe.  Do you even read GD before posting a new topic?

I thought this thread was going to be about that bullshit of people putting butter in coffee.

Here you go, water is always hot, brews a pot of coffee fast, your friends will always tell you your coffee is better than theirs, what's your secret?

You're getting some mileage out of that gif.



Dumbest thing I ever did in the morning was wash a glass and shake it dry over the sink. Except the glass smashed into the sink, shattered, and cut the web of my hand. I got stitches then drove to a biathlon. Bled on my rifle the whole way.
