Coffee Stout question

[macminn18]

I bought an extract kit for a coffee stout. A couple of questions. How anal do I have to be in cleaning the coffeemaker, or is there a better way to make the coffee? The instructions say to use a drip coffeemaker and brew it strong.

I have done coffee twice. I cold brewed both times and added with 5 minutes left in the boil.

Thanks for the reply, I should have clarified a little bit. I've already boiled and done the primary fermentation. It's in the secondary now, and instructions say to put it in the secondary.

I always do cold press and add it at bottling time. Allows you to add the appropriate amount for your tastes before sealing up the bottles.
