To save yourself time in the morning, prepare your coffee maker before you turn it off every night. Make sure the pot is on the warmer, turn off the machine, fill the reservoir with water, fill the filter basket with ground coffee, turn off the warmer, turn the machine back on, and close the lid of the reservoir. This will save you about 5 minutes every morning because the machine will turn on and warm up, the reservoir lid will already be open, and you won’t have to waste water washing out the pot. Just be careful that the reservoir is full because if it isn’t, the machine will blow its pump.
