UUCWI REFRESHMENT INSTRUCTIONS

* Come to the building one-half hour before the service to get the three coffee and tea pots

ready.

* Please provide a small half’n’half for coffee which is appreciated by our java gurus. The

kids (and thirsty adults) will need some fruit juice (UU supplies the cups).

* Coffee (decaf and caffeinated), coffee filters, napkins, sugar and tea are purchased by

UUCWI. The Kitchen Committee will keep us supplied with these items.

* Get the coffeepots ready to go – one regular, one decaf. The big silver one is for regular

and the small Mr. Coffee is for decaf. The small Mr. Coffee should have its glass pot positioned

perfectly or it will make a mess. Just monitor it for a while and see if you’ve positioned it

correctly. If it isn’t positioned well, the coffee will drip out of the carafe and onto the counter and

then you’ll know for sure that it needed to be positioned differently. All items for coffee and

* Fill the electric tea kettle with water for tea drinkers. Start all three pots right before the

service so the coffee and tea are ready right away when the service ends. There is an on/off

switch on the tea kettle that is brown like the rest of the pot, but sticks out. Press it down and the

water will begin to heat.

* Put a large pot of water on the stove to heat slowly during the service. There is often

a pot already on the stove for this purpose. This is to have quick hot water for washing as our

hot water takes a long time to heat.

* The 2 kinds of coffee will each need a pile of cups (the little, plastic, stackable ones), a handful

of spoons, sugar, and sweetener near it. Spoons can be found in the top drawer, on the right of

the roundabout nearest to the sanctuary.

* The decaf coffee will stay where you’ve found it (to the right of the back sink) and so will the

big silver regular coffee maker (to the right of the sink on the left). The tea kettle likes to stay to

the right of the pass-through area.

 For coffee measuring details, see the instruction sheet on the walls.

* After the social hour, wash the dishes and put them away. Use the big sink on the left; there

are 2 tubs for washing and rinsing that you can put into this sink so as to use less water.

Unfortunately, there is no dishwasher, so things must be washed by hand.

* We don’t have many needs for cloth or paper napkins since we eliminated nibbles! Any cloth

napkins that we happened to have used will go into the colorful cloth basket kept under the left-

hand sink itself in full view (not the cabinet under the sink). If you know that you will be at the

next service, you can wash the napkins at your home; this is much appreciated and very seldom

needed. If not, email Judy and she’ll get the kitchen committee to do this.

* Ensure that everything is left just as it was when you arrived. Sweep if too many crumbs. Be

sure all the lights are turned off in the sanctuary, classrooms, bathrooms …
