Design Milk Coffee
Design Milk Coffee
Is it okay to add milk into coffee makers?
I have a Braun Aromaster coffee maker and I want to make coffee with milk instead of water, but by the design of the maker, I don't think I can clean the compartment that drains the water into the grounded coffee. So I worry that if I add milk, it would leave residue and eventually go bad in the coffee maker. Any ideas?
Don't do it!
Use the settings on the Braun to slow the drip as much as possible. Use a small amount of water in proportion to the coffee grounds. Put some milk in the pot before you start to brew. The hot, thick, strong water-based coffee will drip into the milk in the pot (which will be warming on the heater), and mix with the milk. Feel free to add sugar to the pot of milk too if you like. Just don't later use that milky pot to put water into your brewer without making sure it's perfectly clean. If it's like my Braun, you can kick up the heat of the heating unit in the base, which will help to warm up the milk while your coffee is brewing. I can't guarantee this will get it all hot enough, but I guess you can always nuke it if not.
I make an extra-strong coffee in the summer, pull it off the heat as soon as it's brewed and then pour it over ice cubes to make a nice ice coffee. If I want sugar in it, I add that before pouring over the ice, and if I want milk in it, I add the milk after the coffee has been mixed with the ice cubes. Yummy.
Oh, and if you like a sweet, cold, milky coffee, find "coffee syrup" on the web and order some. It's like chocolate syrup, only it's coffee (duh). Mix it with whole milk to make a great drink. The only place I've seen it in stores (or restaurants) is in southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
