Weed Butter With a Coffee Maker (The Easy Way)

In the last few years, you too have probably been trying and enjoying hundreds of cannabis-infused food products, better known as edibles.

All of us who have experienced them know how delicious they are and how different they are from smoking a joint. But do you know what is the key to achieving that incomparable sensation?

In large part it is due to the potency of weed butter, that melted butter soaked with activated weed that is normally used for all or almost all of these rich edibles.

Nowadays they use weed butter to cook all kinds of gastronomic recipes, from the mythical chocolate brownies to the most sophisticated and elegant pasta sauce you’ve ever tasted in your life!

If you are as much a fan of edibles as we are, you once had all the interest in learning how to make your homemade weed butter, but it probably fizzled out after hearing that you need a (rather expensive) cannabutter machine to do it.

What if we tell you that this is not true at all and that you can still make your homemade weed butter without having to spend a lot of money on special equipment?

Do you have a coffee maker and weed at home? Then stay until the end and learn how to make your weed butter with a coffee maker!

How to Make Weed Butter With a Coffee Maker

Ingredients:

• 1/2 to 1 ounce (14-28 grams) of ground cannabis flower.
• 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter.
• Water.
• Coffee filter or cheesecloth.
• Coffee maker with a warming plate.
• Grinder.
• A heatproof container.

Instructions:

1. Decarboxylation: Grind the cannabis finely and spread it evenly on a baking sheet. Preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C) and bake the cannabis for about 40 minutes. This step activates the THC, making it psychoactive. Be sure to monitor it closely to prevent burning.
   
   
2. Infusion: In your coffee maker, place the ground, decarboxylated cannabis into the coffee filter or cheesecloth. Put the filter or cheesecloth in the coffee maker basket where you’d usually place coffee grounds.
   
   
3. Brewing: Add water to the coffee maker’s reservoir as if you were making a pot of coffee. However, do not add coffee grounds. Turn the coffee maker on and let it run. The hot water will pass over the cannabis, extracting the cannabinoids.
   
   
4. Butter Melt: In a heatproof container, melt the two sticks of butter. You can do this in a microwave or on a stovetop. Once the butter is melted, set it aside.
   
   
5. Combine: As the hot water passes over the cannabis in the coffee maker, it will filter through and mix with the melted butter in your container. Allow the coffee maker to run until all the water has passed through and the butter is infused with the cannabis, which might take a couple of hours.
   
   
6. Cooling: Turn off the coffee maker and let the mixture cool down for a bit.
   
   
7. Straining: Once the mixture has cooled slightly, carefully remove the coffee filter or cheesecloth from the coffee maker basket. Squeeze it to extract any remaining liquid into the container with the butter.
   
   
8. Refrigeration: Let the infused butter cool to room temperature before transferring it to the refrigerator. Allow it to solidify. Once it’s solid, you can remove any excess water from the bottom of the container.
   
   
9. Storage: Store your homemade weed butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can last for several weeks.

However, the process then gets a little complicated when it comes to filtering the mixture, which results in burnt fingers, ruined t-shirts from splashes, and a few grams of our precious herb lost along the way.
