I wouldn't count on keeping your job long if you go destroying office equipment like that.   So whatev to you when you hit the unemployment line.

Answer 3

i just boil milk and add coffee

its better than plain water

Answer 4

it wouldnt tatse right because the milk will get a nasty taste to the coffee instead of the orginal blend with water.

Answer 5

my favorite kind of coffee is milk coffee.  why don't you just warm milk in a sause pan instead of risking your coffeemaker?  that's what i do...

Answer 6

I'm glad you dont work in my office!

Answer 7

it messes up the heating element.  The scorched milk sticks to the heating element and starts to make everything taste burned.  Instead, scald the milk (bring it almost to a boil) in a sauce pan and slowly pour it thru your coffee filter full of coffee.  This is how they make coffee in Venezuela.  They also use brown sugar instead of white.  It is very very good.

Answer 8

the milk would "Burn" milk should only be warmed to a certain degree or it is ruined by scalding

Answer 9

Besides the burning, and the ruined pot, you make coffee with water because water is a polar solvent.  Milk is mostly water but not as good as a solvent, since the water is bound to some proteins and sugars.  Water as a solvent 'dissolves' and extracts acids and flavorings from the coffee grounds very well.....milk, not so much

Answer 10

it would taste like butt.

Answer 11

... and the pot will get clogged really quickly.

Answer 12

It would muck up the pump and heating elements, and be incredibly difficult to clean afterward.  Use very little water instead and add milk to the carafe to be heated by the plate.

Answer 13

You could do this in a simple melitta coffee maker where you pour hot milk through a filter or perhaps a bodum.  A coffee maker that boils the water would be ruined.  

If you have to drink instant coffee, heat up the milk in the microwave and use it to make the coffee- better than instant for sure.
