What is the best method to making tea with my coffee maker?!
I've been just using it to heat the water, then add the water to the tea bag in my thermos.
Would it be better to
a) add the tea bag to the top of the coffee maker so it brews as it heats the water, or
b) leave the tea bags in the carafe and let the hot water just drip down onto it or
c) just keep doing it like I've been doing it?
I have tried all three ways, but don't know if one is best for optimal flavor and use of the tea.

What i use is choice B, this is what i do all the time and i have tried all the other ways,
they just do not taste the same.
This may be only me but this is what i do to have mt morning coffee and it does produce
a very strong coffee that you would love.
Thanks

If you're making black tea, I would steep it directly in the water of the coffee pot for 4-5 minutes. If you leave it in too long, it will be too bitter.
If you're making green tea, I would add the tea bag to the top of the coffee maker, as long as it doesn't brew over 3 minutes or so. Green tea doesn't require as long to steep as black tea.
What you can do is buy loose tea and use it like coffee. All you need it about 1 tablespoon. You could just let the hot water drip into a pot then pour the hot water into the cup.
I put my tea bags in the top of the coffee maker where the coffee usually goes and let it brew
