    Well make sure you add some vinegar to the water to clean it after!!!

    Better luck with instant coffee, it might actually be pretty good.
    OR an old timey percolater. I doubt a coffee maker can really handle milk. A coffee maker is basically a water heater that “coincidentally” drips on to coffee and catches the coffee in a pot…it is not meant for anything but water, and even tap water causes damage to the inner workings of the machine over time.

    I wouldn’t try that. The milk proteins will coagulate and bung up the inner workings of your machine, in addition, it would probably be curdled. Water passes over an element inside the machine, and brings the water to the optimum brewing temperature (180-190F). Milk probably wouldn’t survive this. If a latte is what you’re after, you will need a cappuccino machine! :)

  4. Michael Says:

    The process of heating even 2% milk so hot will cause cooking of the milkfat in the milk. Leading to curddling and scorched taste. If I was going to even try it I would use skim milk.

  5. Cyrberus Says:

    Probably, but the milk might eventually damage the coffee maker

  6. ckngbbbl Says:

    when milk gets too hot it takes on a curdled appearance. You can do it but you won’t like it.

    Make your coffee the regular way and stir in powdered milk.

  8. Tamara99 Says:

    No, you would probably ruin your coffee pot. Use a French Press, or heat the milk and add instant coffee to taste.

  9. Mountian Says:

    No it would probably scald and then plug up and ruin your coffe pot.
