Tips on Using a Coffee Maker
By Cathy Pearl 		  
1     A coffee maker can save you a lot of money. Buying coffee in one of those fancy coffee shops can add up to a lot of money. Every coffee maker is different, so make sure to read the instructions when you get a new one.
 
2     Coffee makers make a certain amount of coffee. You will have the buy the right size coffee maker for you. If you drink a lot of coffee, you will need a bigger coffee maker. If you don't drink a lot of coffee, a smaller coffee maker would be better for you.
 
3     Under the brewed coffee is a hotplate that keeps it warm. It is important not to touch the hotplate because it could burn you. It is also important not to leave an empty glass pot on the hotplate. This could cause it to break.
 
4     When you are done with the coffee, make sure to turn the machine off. A coffee maker that is left on can overheat. This would cause a fire. This could also happen if you forget to turn the coffee maker off when you leave the house.
