Coffee, another lesson learned

I learned something about my Cuisinart DCC-1200 “Brew Central” coffee pot this morning. It wasn’t a pleasant experience, but a necessary one.

First I ground some freshly roasted Yemen Mocha Mattari, which I roasted in my gas grill / RK Drum roaster earlier this week.

I put the freshly ground coffee into the Brew Central. I flipped the switch to start it.

But, when I came back about 10 minutes later to get some coffee — there wasn’t any!

Apparently I also have to put water in the coffee maker in order to brew coffee.
