Food You Can Make in a Coffee Maker. Like so many before me, I was once hungry in college.

Food You Can Make in a Coffee Maker

With term papers looming and the dining hall already closed for the night, food had to come from somewhere. That was the night I learned to make ramen in my coffee maker. At first I was nervous, pouring the hot water over noodles in my bowl, covering them, and letting it steep.
