I’m a big believer in working ahead to save time later, especially if it means a smoother morning. As you might know, I love my morning coffee, but I do not love fixing it sleepy-eyed. I usually prepare the coffee the night before, set the timer, and do not think about it again until the aroma begins to fill the morning stillness.
In addition to prepping the night before, I streamline coffee prep by preassembling as much as possible. Fill several days worth of coffee filters with the proper amount of coffee, placing one filter on top of another. Store the pre-measured filters in a sealed container.
If you are a serious coffee connoisseur, this may not be preferable for you, but it works well for me and our sometimes crazy mornings.

I am definitely going to try this! Thanks for the idea : )
I’ve been doing this for years. Great tip! Sure does cut down on the chaos in the mornings.
This is a fabulous idea! Why didn’t I ever think of that?
I do this too!

My mom does that. Of course, her’s has a timer on it. Mine doesn’t. So I make my husband do it for me before I wake up. Works just as good. xD
