Could someone give me basic instructions on making coffee using auto drip coffee maker?!
I have a used Mr!. Coffee coffee maker (so it didn't come with papers)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
How many cups does your machine make and what shape is the filter holder!? i!.e!. flat bottomed or coned shaped!?
If it's cone shaped, be sure to buy that shape filters! They come in different sizes, too, and that depends on how many cups your machine makes!. We have a 5-6 cupper and buy cone shaped filters!. The size is 1x2, the next size up is 1x4 which is for 12 cups!.
Once you figure all that out, you are on your way! Be sure to use cold water, and one big scoop of ground coffee for every two cups water!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

AUTO DRIP
There are two types of auto drip machines available: the cone-shaped filter and the flat-bottom filter design!. The cone-shape design is similar to the manual drip method except it's controlled electronically!. Both brewing methods are easy, and may include extras such as automatic timer, thermal carafe, etc!. The cone-shape filter calls for a finer grind and delivers slighter stronger flavor and better body than the flat-bottom design!.
Grind - What kind of filter are you using!?
Cone filter!? Then your grind should be fine (Approximately 18-23 seconds in a blade grinder)!.
Flat-bottom filter!? Then your grind should be medium!. (Approximately 10-15 seconds in a blade grinder until the coffee has the texture of coarse sand!.)
Directions
? Fill the coffee maker with cold water!.
? Place the filter into the basket, add one tablespoon of coffee for each six-ounce cup!.
? Place coffee and filter into the holder, close the lid, and turn on!.
