Coffee maker on Shabbat

Asked by Sander · January 25, 2004 · Shabbat

Question

I just bought a coffee machine that uses the paper filters and I would like to know if there is a concern about brewing the coffee on a timer on Shabbat. A friend told me I might be able to add a second filter on top of the first filter with the coffee. I am not sure so I am asking for guidence. Thank you in advance

you can brew the coffee with the timer. I am not sure what you mean by the question "to add a second filter on top of the first filter with the coffee"
