[Electronics-Talk] Hot Shot

[Gerald Levy]

With most single serve coffee makers, you place a mug or bowl on the 
base, pour water into a water reservoir, move the shower head into 
position over the coffee filter basket leaving out the filter , and 
press a button or flip a switch to boil the water.  The hot water will 
drip into the mug or bowl in two or three minutes.  If you want to brew 
coffee, you place coffee grounds into the permanent mesh filter or place 
a K-cup or similar coffee pod into the appropriate opening, and you get 
fresh brewed coffee.
