[CnD] pouring into a cup.
Hi all, A liquid level indicator is very helpful, but if you don't have one available, you can do several things, such as: putting the container on a tray to catch any spills, or putting the container in the sink for the same reason. If the liquid isn't boiling hot, you can use a finger on the inside of the cup to feel for the level of the liquid. Practice also helps. You can practice with cold liquid just to get the feel of pouring before going to the hot liquid. Hope all of this helps.

Re: [CnD] Coffeemakers that use K cups
I've used this model which is available at Amazon.com for around $60.00 or so for at least two years with no problem at all. And, it is easy to use with K cups for a grounds insert also available from Amazon.com. Mr Coffee BVMC-KG5 Hope this helps.

Re: [CnD] How to fill a Container with hot water?
I know this has already been mentioned, but I can't even say how much my liquid level indicator has been for me. Especially for coffee which is what I use it for most. I believe you can get these on line for pretty cheap. Couldn't go without mine. -Original Message- From: Parham Doustdar via Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark@acbradio.org] Sent: Saturday, October 03, 2015 10:57 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org; Claudia Del Real Subject: Re: [CnD] How to fill a Container with hot water? Hi Claudia, The problem I usually have is that not all containers make a loud enough sound when you fill them. For example, when I'm pouring coffee from a pot into a cup, it doesn't make a loud enough sound to be heard, maybe because I'm not tilting the pot too much since I'm afraid of spillage? Do you also face these problems? How do you solve them? Thanks.

Re: [CnD] pouring into a cup.
Hi Alice, I use the same methods. I'm glad that you guys also do the same; it makes me feel like I'm on the right track! :-) Thanks a lot for all the wonderful answers.

[CnD] Coffeemakers that use K cups
Hi everyone, I know this has been discussed some, but I don't remember which brands people mentioned. I'm looking for a coffeemaker other than a Keurig that uses the K cups. I've had two Keurigs and they both went bad in less than a year. I'm hoping to get one that won't quit on me. Any help would be much appreciated.

Re: [CnD] Coffeemakers that use K cups
Hamilton Beach sells a flex brew. It uses k-cups, as well as you can use regular coffee. -Original Message- From: Melanie Bausom via Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark@acbradio.org] Sent: Sunday, October 04, 2015 10:23 AM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Subject: [CnD] Coffeemakers that use K cups Hi everyone, I know this has been discussed some, but I don't remember which brands people mentioned.
