Dad, how do I?

Hey kids, so today I’m going to show you how to make coffee. I actually picked up a real basic coffee maker so I could show you in this video. There are fancy ones out there, but I’m just going to walk you through a real basic way of making coffee so you have some familiarity with it. But first, I have a dad joke for you: What did the bored coffee drinker say? “Bean there, done that.”
So anyway, let’s get started. This coffee maker is able to make 12 cups of coffee, and this pitcher is called a carafe. For this video, I’m going to make eight cups of coffee, so I fill up my carafe to the line that says eight. Then, I open up the top of this coffee maker and pour the water into the back reservoir. After that, I put the carafe back in place.
I’m going to pull out the basket because I want to show you something—that’s called a stopper, and I’ll show you what that does later. Now, grab your coffee filter and put it inside the basket. As a general rule, you want to use one tablespoon of coffee per cup. In this case, I’m going to put in 10 tablespoons, though, because the way I always think about it is that you can make the coffee weaker, but you can’t make it stronger. So, it’s better to have a little stronger coffee that you can always add water to rather than weak coffee, which isn’t good.
Now we close the lid. Different brands of coffee makers have a bunch of different buttons, but in this case, we’re just trying to make a basic cup of coffee. So all we want to look for is either the power button or the brew button. Then we just push that, and you’ll start to hear it brew. Coffee will either brew slowly or quickly depending on the brand of coffee maker you have, and some coffee makers actually have a bold setting that slows down the brewing to give you a bolder cup of coffee.
Now I’m going to show you what that stopper does. You can actually steal a cup of coffee before it’s completely brewed. You can pull the carafe out to get a cup of coffee if you can’t wait for it to finish brewing, and then you just go ahead and put it back. It actually stops—though it can’t hold it forever because it’ll end up overflowing. But you can hold it just for a little bit to get a quick cup of coffee.
All right, so the brewing is just about finished, and it’s smelling amazing. I love the smell of coffee! Go ahead and pour yourself a cup, and then replace the carafe because most coffee makers will keep that carafe warm for about two hours before shutting off automatically. So you’re basically done, but I’m just going to go ahead and show you what this looks like. You just open it up, and obviously, the water is all gone into the carafe, so the brewing cycle is done. I just thought I’d show you what this looks like.
All right, I hope that was helpful for you just to get a basic understanding of how to make coffee. Different coffee makers work a little bit differently, but they’re all basically the same—they’re figureoutable. So all you need to do is look at the buttons and then decide what you’re going to do.
My recommendation, as I mentioned in the video, is to make it stronger rather than weaker because you can always make it weaker once you pull it out, but you can’t make it stronger. If you make it weak and put in four tablespoons instead of eight or ten for eight cups of coffee, it’s not going to be good, right? It’ll come out like tea unless you like it like that, but not everybody does. Most people don’t like it weak, so it’s better to make it strong, and then you can always add water to make it a little less strong.
So, there’s a little dad tip for you. All right, I hope that was helpful for you. Thanks for watching, and God bless you!
