A great alternative for the grinder is a hand burr grinder.It can be as low as $10 and decent quality. Hario has one for $20 and it's consistency is fantastic. Also, with the permanent filter, don't wash it so much so that the oils stay on it. It's the same reasoning as why you don't soap wash a cast iron skillet. Great tips Insomniac, from one coffee snob to another.

The trick to using a blade grinder is to pulse it. I use 10 pulses and get a consistent medium-course texture every time. If running it for 30 seconds continuous, the coffee will be too finely ground, over heated and burnt.

The secret to coffee is not fresh ground, or method of making the coffee. The secret to tbe best coffee is "NEVER USE WATER THAT IS BOILING!" Boiling water WILL RUIN THE BEST COFFEE! Run water through the coffee. Maker and check the water temperature. If the water is above 212 or below 180 get rid of the coffee maker. In my tests the best coffee extraction temperature is 180-190 Fahrenheit. I had a Palestinian uncle who taught me to love Turkish coffee, and the games of backgammon and golf. His coffee advice was "NEVER LET THE WATER BOIL!" It over extracts the coffee and turns it bitter. That one trick can make grocery store coffee good, and better coffee INCREDIBLE!

You're Welcome! Mr. Coffee makes the filter. Cuisenart makes the grinder.

What should be added is heating the brewer and the water the overall brew temp is a close to 195 to 205 degrees when extracting

Any tips on cleaning the permanent mesh filter?

If you're shopping for a drip machine: #1.) Be sure to check the size of the showerhead. You want a machine that has a large showerhead so that the coffee grounds get thoroughly saturated during the brewing process. #2.) When you get a drip machine home, run some water through the machine and, using a digital probe thermometer (like the one you use to check the internal temperature of meat), place the probe between the bottom of the basket and the top pf the carafe to see what kind of water temperature your machine is producing. Ideally, you want a water temperature of between 195 and 205. (If you're unable to get the probe in between the basket and the carafe, take the temp of the water as it's filling the carafe. Expect the water in the carafe to be only slightly cooler than it would be if you took the temp between the basket and the carafe.) If the machine you've purchased is achieving a water temp between 195 and 203, return it and try another machine. (I've returned several.) #3.) A faster brew time is better than a slower brew time. A faster brew time to make a full pot indicates that the machine is pumping a greater volume of water than a machine that takes longer to brew a full pot. With a greater water flow, you'll get better flooding of the coffee grounds and, therefor, more complete saturation and more thorough extraction.

Nice tips.

when I used Mr. Coffee to brew my drink, I used the mesh filter in the end. But I opened the top and with my finger turned the basket several time while the water was covering the coffee. Now when you get to the point that my daughter says I am, a hobbyist, you spend the money and buy a Breville Precision machine and get the real flavor of coffee. As for the basket vs. the paper filter, James Hoffman says the opposite. He as I have been doing now uses the unbleached paper filters and when you put them in the basket, wash them and rinse the filter before brewing the coffee.

There's no point to a blade grinder, which CANNOT give you a perfectly even grind (I used one for years - I know the "tricks") when for a few dollars more you can buy a burr grinder which will give you a consistent grind every time AND give you the adjust-ability to be useful for other brew methods too.

Question, I can make a 4 cup pot of coffee, taste great. But if I make a full pot. It’s bitter, I’ve tried different ratios of coffee to water and can never get it right. I’m down to making multiple pots every morning and it’s getting old. What am I doing wrong.

@ShouldIDrinkThis

4 жыл бұрын

Nothing. If you're using a traditional coffee maker the issue is the coffee maker. While you're waiting for the pot to fill (while making a full pot) the heating plate under the coffee pot is burning the hell out of the coffee. So what you're getting is an over-saturated / over-roasted effect from the coffee sitting for so long. What I'd do is put the water and coffee in for the full pot, then when it fills to about 4 cups, dump the coffee into your thermos or warmer or whatever you have, then put the pot back and let it keep going. Because there's a stopper for when the pot is taken out, it can keep making coffee while you're pouring. Give it a try.

Question: what’s the equation equivalent of beans (in weight) makes a serving of 2tbspn? I understand it may vary with coarsed and fine grinds. Sorry for my lack of better phrasing.

Great video, what is the ideal weight of ground beans per cup?

@ShouldIDrinkThis

3 жыл бұрын

I usually use 21 grams of coffee for 16 ounces of water, but that's not necessarily "ideal," the coffee-to-water ratio is a subjective thing based on taste. You have to find the ratio that works best for you. Also, the same ratio doesn't always work for every coffee, so some adjustments need to be made depending on the bean you're using. A lot of trial and error.

Hey, me again. I brew from fresh beans (Peets Dark Roast) enough for two cups using your advice (33grms / 2 bottles water or 1/2 litre) the first cup is perfecto, but the second cup tastes "burnt". The drip maker keeps the coffee hot but is it burning the taste out? Would you recommend i turn off the hot plate and re-heat when i want the second cup? Since watching your videos i haven't been able to sleep at night for fear of failure...🥴

@ShouldIDrinkThis

2 жыл бұрын

The answer is NEITHER. When I brew 2 "cups" for myself I pour the first one in whatever I'm drinking from, and pour the second cup into a thermos (one of those coffee thermoses with the top that keeps the coffee hot for hours). That keeps the coffee from getting "burnt" and keeps it from getting cold - no need to re-heat.

Cool :) If you wanted to spend the money for a foofy coffee maker, but are on a budget what would you recommend? One that makes all the espresso's an stuff?

@ShouldIDrinkThis

Nothing. Sadly (I learned this the hard way which is why I got rid of my espresso maker last week), anything that makes good / proper espresso (any machine that has the correct boiler materials and bars of pressure / won't get made fun of my coffee hipsters) starts around $500 and goes up from there. So "on a budget," literally nothing. I don't even own an espresso maker now lol

That's why I use a dripper. I made my own with a stainless-steel carafe and stainless kitchen bowl. I use the type 6 inch round pleated filters. I get 200 filters for $2 bucks. Cone filters package is 30 filters for 5 dollars. So I save about S150 a year. Plus the 6 inch round coffee filters are finer than the cone and make a superior cup of coffee. I use an electric kettle and flood pour hot water into my Malita type dripper in swirling movements then wait for about 3 min. I don't wash down the filter walls because the course grind is trapping the acids on the sides of the filter. Cleanup is super simple. If you want to test the "flood" method, make a cup of coffee from the left-over grounds clinging to the walls of the paper filter. I don't think you want that taste in your coffee.

I have been grinding beans for about 30 years now (sh*t, I'm gettin' old, lol). The last time someone handed me a cuppa that was made from pre-ground coffee, it did not taste like coffee at all. Cheap tea and expensive teas are incredibly different, but there is a family resemblence, at least. Beans ground before brewing and pre-ground coffee are not even in the same clan, to continue the analogy. Edit: Good solid advice, from a true coffee guy.👍

@ShouldIDrinkThis

When you say "residue," are you referring to the left over coffee grounds in the filter? If so, yes that's completely normal. As opposed to instant coffee which dissolves, making regular coffee with any other method is an "extraction," Water extracts the flavors and oils from the ground coffee beans and you're left with the liquid - the coffee beans are left behind and discarded. Hope that helps.

5-10 minutes is ridiculous for two reasons: 1. the water produced by a drip maker isn't hot enough to actually extract anything from the grinds after the first few SECONDS of contact (so essentially you're letting your coffee sit in room temperature water for 5-10 minutes), and 2. even if the water were up to correct temps (which drip makers aren't), even a method like French Press requires 3 - 3.5 minutes of saturation - anything passed that produces bitter coffee.

You said "blender." Did you mean "grinder?" If you're using a blender, there is no difference because a blender isn't going to create an equal grind size across the total weight of coffee. Also you don't adjust grind size for taste, you adjust RATIO for taste. The grind size should always be exactly the same (in this case, more fine than French Press but not nearly as fine as espresso). For "stronger" coffee, use more coffee per oz. of water, for "thinner" coffee use less coffee per oz. of water.

I’m serious about my coffee ☕️

A researcher at the Palestinian Ministry of Health wrote a paper showing that coffee causes male pattern hair loss in some men. So, being a chemist I worked out a process to extract all suspicious components while still leaving good coffee. My present challenge is that first I must heat the water to make the coffee, then I must cool it down to introduce chemicals to absorb the suspicious components. Then I must heat the coffee to cause the saturated chemicals to stick to each other so they can be separated out. Then I must cool the coffee to cause the chemicals to sink to the bottom. Then I must run the coffee through a separator to eliminate everything that isn't fully dissolved. Then I must heat it again to drink it. By then, it tastes a bit like old coffee - mostly because it IS old, having taken ~3 hours and two additional heatings before it is ready to drink. However, the really GOOD news is that my wife and I have stopped shedding hair! Clean brushes and shower drains. It will take weeks/months longer before I will learn how much (if any) of my lost hair will grow back. Do you have any ideas here? I have considered filtering the hot coffee after the 2nd heating, but it would cool down anyway in the separator, Maybe I could add a small amount of fresh unpurified coffee for taste - a bit like adding new gasoline to old gasoline to get a car started? I have been making it double-strength and adding water later, to reduce the volume of coffee that I need to process. Maybe I need some sort of topping to add scent and taste - like maybe Mexican topping made with egg yolks, perhaps with a sprinkling of finely ground coffee powder? Do you have any thoughts on how to improve on old coffee to save my hair? Steve

What kind of grinder is that..?

How fine should I grind the beans?

Not as fine as espresso, not as course as AeroPress. Somewhere in between the two.

Are the coffee beans already flavored?

What if you only drink decaf coffee?

then I'd suggest making it however you want and pouring it down the sink.

Mr. Coffee: don't put the carafe in UNTIL THE END. Rotate the water spigot backwards so the hot water recirculates into the tank. Do this for a few minutes, to let the water preheat. Then rotate the spigot to the front and let it saturate grounds /halfway fill the filter. Stir wet grounds. Push the spigot to the back (tank) for another minute, to let the wet grounds soak. Then bring it back to the front and let the water fill the filter. NOW put the carafe in, to let the coffee out.

That's an interesting way to complicate using a drip coffee maker lol. Whatever works for you though, go for it!

It doesn't suck necessarily - it's drinkable - it's just not "good." lol

Is Keurig considered drip coffee

I honestly don't know what Keurig is considered to be. I have no experience with those.

No that's k cup coffee. Single serving, not drip.

We've all heard those people say "coffee is coffee" and I don't know whether to try to convince them otherwise or if they're doomed for life. Usually those same people have a big 2lb can of pre ground Folgers on their counter. IT IS NOT THE SAME. Please, go get a good quality WHOLE bean, grind it fresh, many supermarkets selling whole bean coffee must have a grinder. Weigh it, 6fl oz of water to 10g of grinds pretty much, and there you go. WAYYYYY BETTER

what's a good grams/liter ratio?

@ShouldIDrinkThis

3 жыл бұрын

I really don't know anything about liters (our odd American system doesn't use liters lol). I use 21 grams of coffee for 1 cup (4 cup line on the pot)

@johnhatchell5913

The four cup line on an American coffee maker usually represents 20 fluid ounces or about 600 ML. So rounding slightly I'd use a gram of coffee for every 30 ML.

7 to 10 grams (depending on how strong you like) per 100 milimiters of water.
