How do you make coffee in a Vintage Revere Ware 8 cup copper clad drip manual maker?

Making Coffee in Your Vintage Revere Ware Drip Maker:

Materials:

* Revere Ware 8-cup Copper Clad Drip Coffee Maker

* Coffee filter (check your maker for size)

* Coffee grounds (use a medium grind, about 2 tablespoons per cup)

* Hot water (freshly boiled or from a kettle)

* Measuring cup

Instructions:

1. Rinse the filter: Place the filter in the coffee maker and rinse it with hot water to remove any paper taste.

2. Add coffee grounds: Measure your coffee grounds according to your preference (usually 2 tablespoons per cup).

3. Pour hot water: Slowly pour hot water over the coffee grounds, making sure to saturate them completely. *Do not* pour the water directly onto the filter, as this can cause the coffee to be weak.

4. Let it brew: Allow the coffee to brew for about 4-5 minutes. You can see the coffee drip into the carafe.

5. Remove the filter: Once brewing is complete, remove the filter from the coffee maker and discard it.

6. Enjoy your coffee!

Tips for the best results:

* Use fresh coffee beans: For the best flavor, use freshly roasted coffee beans and grind them yourself just before brewing.

* Water temperature: The ideal water temperature for brewing coffee is between 195-205°F (90-96°C). If you don't have a thermometer, let the water boil for a minute or two before pouring it over the grounds.

* Don't overfill the carafe: Leave some room at the top of the carafe to allow the coffee to brew properly.

* Clean your coffee maker regularly: Rinse the carafe, filter holder, and drip plate after each use. Wash them in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.

Enjoy your delicious coffee brewed in your vintage Revere Ware coffee maker!

Note: Be cautious while handling the copper clad pot, as it can get very hot. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling the pot.
