Early AM Stealth Coffee preparation?

Everyone's asleep, but it's 4am, time to get up. You can't risk turning on the lights. Coffee demands to be perked.

Here's the stealthy method.

First you need your BTS L.E.D. baseball cap, with infra-red option:



No need for garish overhead lights. You can see, but no one can see you or be disturbed.

Supplies:
Deer Park bottled water, and five scoop coffee container:

Drip coffee maker with 12 oz. reservoir
Permanent filter:


Procedure:

Uncap the three bottles. No sounds of running water necessary.

Open the top of the coffee pot.

Put the first bottle end up into the reservoir. Most automatic drip makers have a relatively small opening that will prevent the bottle from falling in.

While the first bottle is draining, up end the second bottle and grab the third bottle, removing the first and the second bottles as they drain. This allows you to fill the reservoir in about 10 seconds.

Grab the small coffee container. If you've pre-filled a couple of them, then it's even faster. My pot takes about 5 level scoops.

Place the filter.

Dump the prefilled tupperware into basket.

Slam the lid shut and hit the 'go' button.

Sneak out of the room. (see below)


I'm down to under a minute to fix the pot!


Addendum:
If anyone can smell coffee brewing, that could be a problem for stealthy methods, but by then, you'll be gone from the scene. Think plausible denial. "I think the cat did it!"

Haha....very well illustrated. Of course, one could just put the water and coffee in the machine the night before

Man you need a programmable coffee maker..timer and all dude.

Ever given any thought to the reaction your cat would have with those little red lights? If it's like my cat and a laser pointer..well.. you get the idea..

Well, that's true, but what do we know about coffee?

Better to freshly grind the beans...or grind them and put them in a basket in the pot and leave them exposed to the air for 10 hours?

But I guess I'll give out my 'rapid coffee brewing secret'...



(you can get a free single pot set up from Gevalia if you order some coffee. Pretty cool. If the pot arrives broken they'll send a new carafe free)

Too 'low end'?



Only $1500 US.
