After cleaning the coffee pot, we get it ready for the morning by leaving water in the tank over night?!


Question: After cleaning the coffee pot, we get it ready for the morning by leaving water in the tank over night!?
is this OK!? I was told once many years ago by my grandmother, a lover of coffee, that one should always make coffee with what she called dead water, or water that was not right out of the tap!. I guess my question really is, does it hurt leaving it in the tank so that all the morning crew has to do is turn it on!? Oh, its a fancy Starbucks, like coffee machine!. Thanks to ALL that answer, I really appreciate your input!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
I'm a coffee snob too and there's no problem doing that!.
Dead water!?
Your 'old grandmother's tale' of dead water is something I haven't ever heard of!.
But that's when they perked and boiled their coffee; my mom did too!
No, it won't hurt!. Many people do that!

I don't make coffee often but when I do I will pour the water in the night before!. My coffee maker has an timer that will start the coffee at a certain time!. I have always used the water from the prior day, it was how my dad did it!. So I don't see how you are doing anything wrong!. If it works for you then don't fix it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

it is fine ,any water that is sitting at rest will become stagnant but over night you are 100% fine to use with no problemWww@FoodAQ@Com
