Once the dripping coffee has stopped, remove the lid from the filter and place it upside down on the table then place the base and reservoir onto the upturned lid. This will prevent coffee from dripping onto place it shouldn’t. Now give the coffee and milk a stir to mix. The color should be close to chocolate milk. The coffee can be served like this, or if preferred it can be poured over ice in a tall glass. I have not tried it without the ice because I really like it over ice. Robusta has about 40% more caffeine than Arabica coffee which makes this drink nice as a pick me up in late afternoon. I know I have a hard time stopping at one, but I have not felt the urge to pawn my TV to get more, yet.
