Not a dumb question :-) I don't own a coffemaker but I would make a cup of instant coffee, then add alot of milk and some Nescafe Mocha Syrup (I find it at Jewel, Dominicks doesn't carry it.) It's in the coffee isle. I'm not wild about the taste of regular black coffee and the mocha and milk would cut the bitterness and give it some flavor. Nice warm drink for the winter :-)
