This is my 2nd Keurig coffee maker of this model. kzread.infoUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf The first worked fine for more than 2 years, and I could still get a decent cup of coffee out of it if I fiddled with it when I decided to replace it. The problem I had with my first unit was this: When attempting to brew a cup of coffee, the unit would either keep brewing until the coffee was undrinkable or it would not run long enough and the coffee produced was way too strong. I cleaned the unit as best I could but it did not help. So in the end it was just too much trouble to get a good cup of coffee out of it, so I decided to replace it with a new one, which has been working great since I unpacked it.

Now the Fareinheit scale finally makes sense, exactly 200 F° to brew coffee!

The coffee brand Martinson coffee claims that their founder Joe Martinson is where the phrase "Cup of Joe" came from, but I don't know how true that actually is. martinson-coffee.com/joemartinson/Pages/ourstory.aspx

The Bunn machine shown couldn't brew 5 pots at once, it could keep 5 pots at serving temperature after they had been brewed one at a time. edit: I just recalled that my aunt used a dripolator back in the 1950s. I don't know just how it functioned - I was quite young at the time - but there were drip coffee makers before Bunn and Mr. Coffee.

There indeed were ones going back to 1908 when they were first invented but they were neither common place nor affordable for businesses or in the home until Bunn and Mr. Coffee came around. Percolator coffee ... yick.

I grew up with percolators. I wouldn't call the coffee it produced terrible but it also wasn't great. We didn't go out to eat very often but one of the reasons it was such a treat was that restaurants had Bunnomatic coffeemakers. After dinner we enjoyed a cup of rich smooth drip coffee with our dessert. I remember Joe DiMaggio's commercials and we soon got our first Mr. Coffee. I never felt that Mr. Coffee and imitators made as good coffee as restaurant brewed coffee. As an adult one of my first purchases was a Bunn Pouromatic home coffeemaker. This made coffee to my liking. I think the difference is speed. Mr. Coffee heated water and brewed in spurts while Bunn coffee makers kept the water hot all the time and brewed the entire pot quickly. I think the faster brew extracts the coffee flavor without producing the off flavors.

Nice! No country for old grumpy men I guess.

My favorite coffee maker for my home is the Farberware electric percolator. Since it stops brewing when the coffee is made, the coffee is consistent, and in my case, never bitter if I use good ground coffee. The advantage in my eyes for an automatic drip coffee maker is the automatic shut off feature that many have. No risk of burning the pot as there can be with the percolator.

But I like strong coffee! My percolator makes it just right every time :) Taste will always be subjective, but I don't find drip less bitter in any way except it's weaker on all tastes.

A percolator with the right espresso ground is amazing. A trick is to start with boiled water, that way it percolates immediately without heating up the rest of the percolator and coffee grounds. This will let the steam cool to the right brewing temperature referred to in the video.

In order to get something close to a decent cup of coffee, from a percolator, is to use coffee beans with almost no acid. Something that is not easy to find. I have had some which i tried in as percolator and was pleasantly surprised by the results. That same coffee is very humdrum when brewed by any other method. It is the boiling of the coffee that makes makes it so bitter. I prefer French press (cowboy coffee) or use individual paper filtres. Those Mr. Coffee style coffee makers are only good for the first cup. It quickly becomes "security guard" coffee, even with quality beans.

And another German company came out with one back in the 50's: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wigomat

The video on how coffeemakers work linked to at the end of the video is the original search that brought me to this channel.

Bunn's 3 minute gravity brew design is the BEST! Automatic drip is still too hot! The design is simple, (which baffles me on the $100 price tag): A chamber is kept hot, the top chamber is empty. When the top chamber is filled with room temperature water, a hole at the bottom drains into the heated chamber. Plumbing directs the overflow from the heated chamber to a miniature shower head located over the coffee basket thus making the pot a 3rd and final chamber in this process. PARTY TRICK: If you own a Bunn you can amaze your friends by placing your UNPLUGGED coffee maker on the living room coffee table. Put the coffee in the basket, pour the water in, and watch the astonished looks appear on your friend's faces when you pour them a steaming HOT cup of coffee that your UNPLUGGED coffee maker just produced. (You can't do a second pot)

Well, that was fun :-) The video clearly shows how much fun you had digging up this information and how the turns of events surprised you.

***** I have calculated the time difference using a drip coffee maker makes to using a percolator, here: >8 (stove top) to 16(electrical) minutes to brew cofee with a percolator (preparation included) so an average of 12 mins each morning >4 to 6 minutes for coffee with drip coffee makers including preparation(average= 5min) So with a lifespan average of around 30,000 days (~82 years) that means you waste 145 days, 22 hours and 19 minutes (210,000 mins) of your life only brewing coffee more than with drip coffee makers because the time difference is 7 mins (12 minus 5) and 30,000 mornings of 7 minutes longer makes (7x 30,000) 210,000 minutes which equals 0.4 years.

An important point: for some roast levels, boiling hot water may in fact be desirable. The major problem with percolators (and drip coffee makers too) is that they continue dumping a lot of heat into the finished coffee, which *does* burn it. Filter coffee is vastly improved by turning the hot plate off more or less as soon as it's done. If you've brewed loads and you need to keep it hot, a thermos is a better option than a hot plate, provided it's clean and very well rinsed

Drip coffee is okay, percolator coffee is better. I have an electric 12-cup percolator that I bought on Amazon about 6 months ago. First time I used it coffee was terrible; I tried different ratios of coffee/water and eventually found what works for me. In my opinion, percolators make great coffee - just learn how to use it properly.

One mistake. The large Bunn machine seen in the video does not make 5 pots at a time. It holds up to 4 full pots hot while making the fifth. Bunn is still the leader in restaurant-size coffee makers. One of their great advantages is that after you turn them on, they heat up a reservoir of water that is large enough to brew 2 pots at once. So that when you make a pot of coffee, you can make a second immediately, while it heats the water for the third pot, In essence, they can make pot-after pot continuously. Obviously, these machines are attached to a water supply, no dumping in water by the pot as most people do at home.

I remember when we got our first Mr. Coffee as a little kid. My parents were in heaven since it was safe enough for a kid to make the coffee. We also had the Mr Coffee hot chocolate machine.

I'm not sure, but is sounds like when he does the history of coffee over the picture of the Moccamaster (a very good drip machine) he's describing manual pour-over coffee.

Lets see the ingenious bit of science by which a percolator moves the water to the top of the grounds. A 1930's Popular Science magazine had a brief description of a farmers ingenious method of cooking grain for his pigs, using a brake drum and pipe as the "percolator", which allowed the cook to proceed without burning or stirring. Never forgot that bit of ingenuity, and wonder if it was ever used in the food industry.

Here in Australia, home espresso machines are more common than drip filter machines and, especially down here in Melbourne, we are mad for espresso coffee. (Seriously, our hardware stores have cafes in them, our plant nurseries have them, they are everywhere!) It's just an entirely different type of coffee. Neither is right or wrong, but it rankles when a video such as this tries to suggest that drip filter coffee making is the best way to make a coffee.

I'm actually not even sure when was the last time I've seen a drip coffee maker, let alone use one

Amazing commentary. Fascinating research. However, I can hardly agree that drip coffee makers are the best easy to make coffee. Give a French Press a try, and you'll thank me!

I'm a big fan of the French press, except for cleaning up the grounds when done. Use regular coffee grinds instead of the coarser grinds that are recommended.

Come to think of it, you only see percolators in churches or convention halls and they're usually very large. The small versions are stuck back in your grandparents closets.

That's all well and good, but the best coffee with none of the usual negative attributes is made by boiling it in a pot for two to three minutes. "Cowboy Coffee". A percolator should work fine too, so long as it is able to boil for long enough... I love my percolators, and NO filters to buy and throw away!

I use a percolator, I like it except it is time consuming. I have never owned a drip maker but now I am curious

*****​ it is actually objective to say drip coffee is bad, it doesn't extract much of the essential oils of the coffee bean. They aren't saying American coffee is bad per se, only drip coffee is bad, but most Americans drink drip coffee.

Having worked in Hospitality and having been trained by experts in the field of coffee I would say your assumptions are invalid. These said experts were from many countries and all agree with what I said about "filter coffee". Having then used this education in the role of barista (person who makes coffee espresso style) among others, I found that given the choice 85% of customers (from around the world) also agree. I declare my "opinion" educated, tested and accurate. I don't actually care if anyone agrees with me or not about coffee. Just like I don't care what anyone thinks of me personally, especially from across the world via the web........

+Graceymay74 Thing is, that does not say anything about what is objectively better, only what is currently in fashion in various parts of the world. Every region has a different 'normalized' pallet. Prefered ratios of the various fundamental flavors vary by culture, and america has different norms than europe or other post colonial regions.

+neeneko I would agree with what you have said. All I've tried to point out is that having experienced points of views from different cultures, the consensus I have witnessed is that filter coffee lags behind in popularity and percieved value to the customer. after googling cafe's from Europe, the US and elsewhere I have found espresso style coffees generally are a premium product which customers tend to be willing to pay more for..... But yes, you're right about cultural pallet differences etc.

Why nobody in comment section mentioned cezva for making coffee? It gives you the best possibilities for controlling the temperature, and creates perfect coffee foam. Also the taste are way better than filtered coffee and espresso. Only the stovetop (small metal "teapot" with two sections in it) can make coffee taste close to cezva.
