Since you’ve read all the brewing tips above (you have done that, right?), you already know just about everything you need to know about making coffee in an automatic drip machine. Just measure how much water your pot holds, use the filter material of your choice (pre-wetted with hot water if you like), add about two tablespoons of medium grind whole beans for every five to six ounces of water you’ll be using and hit the go button. 

If your only warming choice is a built-in burner, see if it has adjustable settings. If it does, set it at the lowest possible temperature consistent with how hot you like to drink your coffee. Just remember, the hotter the setting, the sooner your coffee will take on that awful burned taste.
