You may add a sweetener to sweeten your coffee. If you are watching your calories, you could use Splenda, Equal or Sweet & Low. But artificial sweeteners tend to add a bitter taste to your cup. Of course, if you are not a diabetic and do not mind the calories you could feel free to use raw sugar to give it a rich sugar flavor.

One word of caution at this point is this – though the heating plate under the coffee pot does keep your coffee warm, it is best not to leave the coffee pot there for too long otherwise, the coffee will become bitter.
