Coffee makers can be a challenge after they’ve been in use for a year or more. Ours is no different…I made a small pot a while back and found the filter had fallen over which allowed the coffee grounds into the pot. I poured the coffee into a pitcher, cleaned out the pot, added a new filter and then poured it back thru the clean filter.This took a bit of time and the coffee had cooled off a bit. So I came up with this little fix-it idea to reduce the time and keep my coffee from getting too cold…
I used a large creamer container, sharp scissors,a hot glue gun and for the holes, I used a wood burner fitted with a bolt ( a nail and hammer could also be used)…
As you can see in the picture, I cut the container at the bend, trimmed down the piece with the cap to accommodate the coffee filter, added a line of hot glue around the bottom and made holes in the cap (I used a bit of sandpaper to get the glue to stay, an emery board would work as well).
Done…now I’m ready for the next time grounds have gotten into my coffee!
