C is for Coffee

We have already established that coffee is the lifeblood of the college student.  Something that I hadn't realized was that some people don't know how to make coffee - how you could get through 18 years of life without ever making a pot of coffee, but whatever.

To make a pot of coffee:
1) Put a filter in the basket under the lid
2) Pour coffee grounds into the filter - the amount of coffee is super subjective so play around with it a bit until you figure out how strong you like it
3) Fill the pot with the same amount of water as you want coffee
4) Pour the water into the reservoir behind the basket - there will be a little vertical window that will tell you the water level
5) Close the lid and turn the machine on
6) Wait for the machine to stop making noises like a constipated elephant
7) Drink your coffee
8) Leave the machine on until the pot is empty so that it will keep the coffee hot
9) Turn the machine off, rinse out the pot, and feed the grounds to your little brother

Once you reach this point, you may as well start making a new pot because you will need a constant supply of fresh coffee.  Good luck!

    1. That is the point at which it is essential to have emergency rations of instant packets
