Do you set your coffee up at night to brew in the morning or ...

[Saffron]

do you just wait and make it in the morning?

I have to set it up at night, otherwise I'm not awake enough to make it in the morning. In the past couple of weeks when I've forgotten to set the coffee up at night and tried to make it in the morning, I have: forgotten the coffee , forgotten the water , forgotten that I've already added the water and added more water thus overflowing the coffee maker , and fogotten to put the coffee pot back on the machine, twice.



I'm always afraid ants will crawl into the coffee as it sits on the counter overnight -- and we don't even have ants or any other sort of creepy crawlies. Did you all read the spider/water/jello thread! Now I'm really worried!

Which do you do?

and press go at six am.......then I know it is on its way of keeping me going

 

[goofy4tink]

I don't but dh does. Then, it brews while he showers and by the time I get out of the shower, I have a nice cup waiting for me!!

We just bought a maker with the timer. DH promised he would set it up every night to have the coffee ready when we get up. I think he did it one night -- now I just make it like I always did -- first thing in the morning.

I wait until I get to work to have my coffee. I set it up the night before on Mon-Thursday nights because I'm so uncoordinated in the mornings, I've been known to waste too many grounds when I've tried to put them in the basket if I have to do it in the mornings. On weekends, I usually just order my coffee. I need about a gallon of it this morning.

don't do coffee....

Maggie I forgot to put the coffe in last week. I make it in the mornings, because I grund it just before I brew it.

 

[Pooh67_68]

I get the coffee pot ready the night befor.

 

[pirateofthecarolinas]

I have my coffee maker ready to go at night. In the mornings I just push a button. That's all I can handle at 6:00!

DH sets it up, on a timer, the night before. It has to be ready to consume in the morning, or I don't get up!

I'd probably be too sleepy to notice if there was any "extra protein" in my mug, at least for the first cup or two.

 

[monkeyboy]

I get it at the drive thru...and I hope I don't get stuck in traffic

Maggie, I just stumble out to the coffee pot each morning and in a sleep stupor get it going.

We bouth a grind and brew and it has a timer to make the coffee brew in the am. Best invention for coffee lovers who need that morning cuppa Joe

Maggie,
I do it in the mornings also because I am afraid of creepy crawlies!!
If you saw mine you wouldn't call it coffee, you'd call it a cup of candy! Mmm!

 

[Dan Murphy]

Fresh ground, every AM.

 

[Trish Bessette]

I sure do! Prepare it at night to brew at 5:30 a.m.

Love that smell of coffee first thing in the morning.

 

[s&k'smom]

Yup get it set up in the evening as I'm such a clutz I'm afraid I'll break something (again!!) in the morning.

 

[snoopy]

The night before. The smell of it brewing is my alarm clock.

 

[tkd lisa]

I'm the only one in my house that drinks it, and I only drink 2 cups a day. I brew it in the morning (just because I usually forget to set it up the night before). Then I drink 2 cups, turn off the coffee maker. For the next two mornings, I microwave leftovers, then make it new the 4th day.

No point in throwing away perfectly good coffee!

 

[always quiet]

I set it up the night before to brew 20 min before that blasted alarm clock goes off! Heck, I don't even think my eyes open before the first cup is finished....I have learned to make a perfect cup of coffee with my eyes still closed!
