How do you prepare this? Do you need a coffee maker?

I buy this for my father. He prepares it like instant coffee. He spoons in the amount he like in the cup then creamer & sugar. Boiling water add last.

This is a powder that melts easily into water as it is an instant beverage! I use 1.5 heaping teaspoons for a richer taste. If i mix it with cocoa powder I use only 1 spoon. I like to add soy milk to it for a creamy flavor and never use a sweetener as I like the flavor just as is.

This is a powder type product. I just add it to hot water, as you would an instant coffee.

This is my favorite hot drink! No need for a coffee maker or anything; it dissolves instantly in the hot water. Add sweetener/creamer as desired and enjoy!

Nooo. This instant beverage is sort of like an instant coffee, but it comes in a fine powder form (not larger crystals). Cafix is ALMOST as easy to dissolve as an instant coffee crystals. You can prepare this beverage mixed with any instant coffee (if you want, but you do not have to), creamer or whatever. Basically, you put a few tea spoons of Cafix into a cup and add hot water. Then you can add creamer, milk, sugar, liquor, and what not.

No. Note that is labeled "instant". It's just like instant coffee. You put a tablespoon of crystals in a cup and add hot water.

You need to add the coffee after it brews. This machine does not combine steamed milk w coffee or espresso at the same time

Put in a little water first, then coffee and add the rest of your water. You can find complete instructions in some of the most helpful Amazon product reviews. Enjoy.

Hi, Mark --I found instructions for using this online someplace. I can tell you that the coffee is *extremely* hot at first and stays warm for a good long time, easily a good hour or 90 minutes, maybe for two hours. No paper filters needed, just grind the coffee a little coarse and it goes into the basket inside. The only thing I'm not sure of is whether you can make just 4 cups -- I usually make the full pot, which is more like 6 big cups or 8 small ones.

No. What ever you use needs to be ground. So either buy ground coffee or grind it yourself. Hmmm. Sounds good right about now.

Coarsely ground coffee, add to canister. Add hot water-i use a kettle but stovetop is fine. See instructions for suggested exact temp if youre picky. Slowly push down press, moving ground coffee to bottom of canister. Pour into cup directly from canister, it also has a strainer on spout just in case.

Put enough coffee in the pot 4 heaping scoops (I have no clue what size my scoop is). Heat water until it starts to make noise. Pour the water in. Wait 4 minutes. Then press the strainer down. Coffee is ready.

I've seen a number of suggestions here for how to use your own ground coffee. This is what I do though...I buy the empty "tea" bags (they are quite cheap) and put my coffee in them. They have drawstrings and really work well. Simply put however much coffee you want into one, pull the string, turn the bag onto its side and give it a little shake so the grounds aren't in one lump right in the middle, put the bag (on its side) into the little brew basket, and you are set to go. I take a few minutes each weekend and make up a bunch of them and put them into an air-tight canister and I'm good to go. Easy.

Hello, Kristen. Although odd that you did not receive instructions and a box, you can still be okay. Fill the pot to the desired level with cold water. Place the basket and stand inside. Put fresh coffee grounds in the basket. You can heat on a stove or over a camp fire. The water will percolate into the glass atop the pot - it's acutally pretty cool. WHen it stops, the coffee is done. BUT, the handle is probably hot, too - use a mitt. Enjoy!

Mix it in some water before you put in coffee maker. Fill maker up with water after you pour in your cleaner. It took 2 packs for me to get mine good and clean, but one pack will do if your maker isn't very dirty.

That's easy. Of course, initially rinse everything and then, just add water like you normally do but without the coffee. Heat up until it's done, and pour out the brownish water. You can repeat this one more time if you like. Note: you can always do the quicker way of just putting it in a pot and adding boiling water. Let sit for 5 to 15 minutes. Then pour out water and air dry in either case.

You make it just lie regular tea. You will need a strainer or filter.. if your tea/coffee maker uses one.

I would brew (2 times) real coffee extra STRONG before drinking. This sometimes helps "season" the coffee maker so it gets rid of the chemical taste or smell. The coffee actually coats the parts.

You'll probably need a coffee scoop and a permanent filter as the paper ones are awkward and can spill if you're not careful. Otherwise, it's set up and ready to go. What parts would you expect you had to buy? There are only two parts: the brewing unit and the coffee pot.

Just wash the removable pieces as usual. Then squirt some dish soap into the coffee pot, add some hot water and wash the inside with your dish cloth or sponge and rinse it out. Then I dry everything and put it back together so it's ready for the next pot of coffee. It's really very easy to care for. Hopes that helps. :)

No, however, grind coffee medium, grind (for 4-6 cups) and add to filter. Fill with cold water, leave in frig or on counter. Coffee is ready in about 7-10 hours.

No hot plate involved- that's one of the great things about this type of coffee maker. Just be sure you fill it with hot tap water and let it sit for a minute to prewarm while you grind your beans and prepare the pot for brewing. It'll ensure that your coffee stays hot as long as possible.
