Individual Note Making and Rewriting
Following is manual procedure on how to use a coffee maker. Read it and guess the
meaning of the unfamiliar words from the context.

Using a coffee maker involves the
following steps – place a filter into the
filter-basket, fill it with ground coffee
beans, fill the maker with the required
amount of water, and press brew. Now you
know how to use a coffee maker. When it
comes to the uses of a coffee maker, most
people believe it can only be used for
making coffee. However, coffee makers
can be used for several other purposes,
including making hot chocolate, boiling water, and even making some soups.[1]

If you’ve never used a coffee maker before, take a moment to review our coffee
maker manual. Not only does it cover the basic steps, but it also explores some of the
other uses one can get out of their coffee maker. [2]
To use a coffee maker, you must first place a filter into the basket. Some models
come with a reusable mesh filter while others require disposable, single-use, paper
filters.
The next step is to load ground coffee into the filter. Coffee can be purchased pre-
ground or as dried beans, which will require a coffee grinder to prepare. [3]
Third, add water to the coffee Pot. Almost all coffee pots come with clearly marked
measuring lines. These lines can be used to properly measure out how many cups of
coffee you want to brew. It’s a good idea to add a little extra than your desired amount as
some of the water will evaporate during the brewing process. [4]
Once the coffee maker has been properly loaded with ground coffee beans and water,
it’s time to plug the machine in and turn it on. Luckily, coffee makers don’t typically have

any complicated or advanced setting options, making the process straightforward. When
turned on, wait for the process to finish, and don’t remove the coffee pot until all the
water has been drained from the water reservoir. [5]
The final step in using a coffee maker is removing the used grinds and rinsing
out the coffee pot. With paper filters, the entire filter and wet coffee grinds can be
thrown out together. Some people choose to save the grinds and use them for
composting.[6]
Coffee makers that have a reusable filter are a bit more work, as the filter must be
fully rinsed out before being placed back inside the coffee maker. The coffee pot must
also be rinsed out, as leftover coffee can cause mold to grow. [7]
