Can you make coffee with milk instead of water in an automatic drip coffee maker?

Answer 1

Can you? Technically, yes.

Should You? Absolutely not. The milk is heated to boiling temperatures inside the coffee maker. This will cause a couple of problems: the milk could coagulate and clog the coffee maker. Also, the milk residue will collect inside the coffee maker and spoil.

Some coffee makers actually have a holding tank to store hot water so there is hot water on demand when you want to make a pot of coffee. If you pour milk in, it will displace the hot water and leave the milk in the holding tank until you make your next pot. That means the milk would be heated and left in the holding tank to breed bacteria until you make the next pot of coffee.

Either way it is a recipe for disaster.

Don't do it!!!

You are tottlay right! besides if there was any milk not used you know like left over and it was not much, but still it would go rotton!

Answer 2

no. you better do not. what ever the type of coffee machine you have, the best way to combine coffee and milk is right after you brew your cup. The only exceptance could be Turkish coffee. Turkish coffee is made with ibrik style pots. And also new gwneretion automatic Turkish coffee brewers.

hahahaah you retard

Answer 3

Coffee with milk is a Spanish drink also known as 'caf© con leche'. Start with good freshly ground coffee and cold water. Brew your coffee using an espresso maker. Heat milk of choice on the stove or in the microwave. Once both the coffee and the milk are ready mix them together with about one third of the drink composed of coffee and the remaining two thirds of milk.
