My coffee maker isn't dripping. Can I just pour hot water over the grounds in the filter as a temporary fix?

[Anonymous No.8894088]

yes

it's called "pour over"

Probably not. If it's not "dripping" when the machine pours hot water into the cone, what makes you think it would drip when a human pours hot water into the cone?

the rate of dripping doesn't matter. The only reason the machine "drips" rather than "pours" is because the drip system is very simple and cheap to build whereas the "pouring" type system is not.

Also, if you did want to autisically mimic "dripping" for some silly reason then you could simply pour the hot water very slowly.

OP here. This clears it up, thanks. I wasn't sure if the pace of a straight pour would just run all the water into the pot too quickly.

It turned out fine btw.

Okay, again for the mildly retarded
>machine makes hot water
>hot water comes out of machine and goes into cone where grinds sit
>coffee drips out the bottom of cone into carafe
Or
>human makes hot water
>human pours hot water into the top of cone
>coffee drips out bottom of cone into the carafe

If the problem is the coffee not dripping out the bottom of the cone, it doesn't matter how you get the hot water in the top. The problem is at the bottom of the cone. So, Sherlock, that might be where you want to investigate.

Why? what's to investigate? We've already determined that the method worked fine (see >>8894171), and the last steps of your greentext method is exactly the same.
