It is a bad idea. Hot water, straight from the faucet, contains more dissolved minerals (calcium, assorted salts, etc) than cold water does. It's simply because of the temperature...more solids can be dissolved in hot water than in cold.
The same minerals that cause the scaling and "hard water" deposits in your bathtub will also clog up your Mr. Coffee. There are coffee machine cleaners (chemicals) that help remove these deposits, but eventually they'll build up so badly that the machine is ruined. Using hot water, rather than cold, will ultimately shorten the life of your coffee maker.

∙ 9y agoYes. Using a filter, put Hot Chocolate mix instead of ground coffee into the machine. Use the machine as normal. An alternative method is to simply use the coffee maker to heat the water (don't add hot chocolate mix). Put the hot chocolate mix in the bottom of the mug and pour hot water into the cup. Stir and enjoy!
