I hope you like oatmeal as much as we do. My husband had to eat all 8 kinds of oatmeal so I could make this chart, and he isn’t tired of it yet. I included a PDF file of the chart that you can download and print, it also has a 2nd page that has instructions for regular Stove Top Oatmeal. So even if you don’t want to make oatmeal with your coffee maker this has instructions for cooking all 8 kinds of oatmeal.
Double click on the PDF link below, and it will open in a new window.

We recommend that you cook your oats in a metal cup or bowl, the metal conducts the heat better so they will cook faster and you won’t have to clean your pot. Be sure your cup or bowl fits flat on the burner and has a lid of some kind, almost any small lid will do, even if you have to turn it upside down so it covers well. In a pinch, just use foil. Covering with a lid will raise the temperature 30-40 degrees.
- Pour water into the reservoir.
- Put oats into a metal cup or bowl and put it on the burner.
- Turn on machine.
- When water is done dripping onto the oats, stir and cover with a lid.
- Stir occasionally.
- If your oatmeal is to thin, leave in on the burner for a few minutes with the lid off.
The basic information on this chart, Oatmeal Cooked with a Coffee Maker was obtained from the package labels of oat products from Bob’s Red Mill and then adapted to coffee maker cooking.

I was a taste tester and I got to try all 8 varieties with a different topping on each one, and I’m ready to do it all over again. Thanks, never thought oats could taste this good.
