Don't Ever Do This With Your Coffee Machine (like never ever)

---
It seems that I do indeed have one rule when it comes to making coffee: No putting milk in your coffee machine if it's not supposed to go in there.
But besides that, brew away to your hearts content!

Aaaaaaand here are some more links if you're interested:

Morgan telling people not to do something: "Maybe possibly probably don't do that"
James Hoffmann telling people not to do something: "Just no" *weighs disappointment in grams*

11:12 Morgan fights the instinct to dump this stuff down the drain as fast as possible. That eye contact with the sink lmao

One other factor working against you in this fashion is that coffee is made by dissolved solids from the beans into the liquid. Milk already has a very high amount of dissolved solids and will never be able to attain the extraction level of water for this reason.

If one desperately needed to do this, I feel like a french press would be best

i tried to explain this to a friend. half an hour of listing all the negatives and they weren't convinced that its that bad. then i asked them if they would like a $500 cappuccino. that did the trick :)

I almost let a tear out seeing Celsius in this video. I finally understand what you are talking about on coffee without having a second tab open for calculating fº to cº

Morgan: you're lactose intolerant. You love coffee almost motherly. You're one of the tidiest YouTubers I've ever seen...

... and yet, you do this. For us, an undeserving crowd.

My skin crawls at the thought of a latte with a butiric acid aftertaste...

I hope you never have to do something like this ever again.

I've always imagined this would be something small children would do trying to make their parents coffee, but not fully grown adults..

The title of this video should be Morgan Politely asks you to not put milk in your coffee machine

Poor little sacrificial machine. I've heard of making instant with milk and skipping water all together but this is next level coffee hacks that should not be a hack lol.

Side note, so glad you got a bag of Red Bay. It's my favorite local brand! They're doing great things in the world of coffee from the Bay Area 😊

The most terrifying part of brewing coffee with 195 C water would be insane pressure you'd need to be brewing under.

[emj]

I am ashamed to say at one point I heavily considered doing this 🤣🤣🤣. I decided against it because I wasn't sure how I'd clean the milk out. Thank you for confirming that it was in fact a terrible idea!

[JosKampes]

And… I love you for doing your best with the fahrenheit / celsius thing!

[Teaguy]

The moment Morgan said the words milk and coffe machine I immediatly had to think back about how increadibly glad I am, that I never used the coffe machine at my old company, which probably never saw milk in the water chamber, but definitely saw a lot of mold in the spots nobody usually looks at.

What about cold brew with milk? That way the milk never gets hot.

[earhornjones]

Great video!

In the interest of the Scientific Method, I'd love to have seen you brew a traditional pot of coffee with the sacrificial machine before the milk got dumped in, just to prove that the weird flavor in the milk brew wasn't an artifact of the machine.

We all know that it wasn't, but this is the Internet, so I'm required to be pedantic.

Yeeaarrssss ago, this was high school time… just getting into somewhat liking coffee… I brewed coffee with coffee thinking I was an absolute genius and the only one in the world who could have come up with such an idea.

My mom was so mad.

Red Bay Coffee is just okay in my opinion. I ordered coffee from them on several occasions of several varieties, and none of them were really distinct or enjoyable enough for me to want to order them again. Part of that may be because (last i checked) most, if not, all of their coffees are either medium or dark roast, while i prefer light roasts. One good thing is that all of the coffee i received was roasted quite close to the time i had ordered it, so if you're worried about that sort of thing, that's good.

Another thing i will say is that their customer service is quite good. Their coffee ships in compostable mailers, and one of my orders must've gotten crushed against the corner of a box or something, because when i opened the package one of the bags of coffee had a giant hole ripped in the front. I contacted them via email and they sent me a new bag even though i was unable to provide a photo of the damaged bag (i had already discarded it) with no further questions.

A former colleague felt that the coffee from the commercial drip machine in the office wasn't hot enough (even when fresh)
Instead of microwaving it like a sane person, he would put it back through.
Fortunately he did so before adding milk, but it still utterly destroyed anything good in the cheap catering coffee we used.
Still wasn't hot enough for him.

Morgan's little chuckle/giggle/laugh is contagious. Lots of air escaped through my nostrils
