For drip coffee, how much coffee is ground in the 20 seconds? What kind of volume of grounds would I expect to get after 20 seconds (again targeting grounds for drip)?

Bodum Bistro Electric Burr Coffee Grinder, Black In my experience as an owner of this excellent mill, at the medium setting the Bodum Bistro will grind a bit over 4 coffee measures, or almost 9 tablespoons of coffee in 20 seconds. Hope this helps.

I was struggling with this as well. This process worked better (I actually got a great cup like this):~24 grams medium ground (Baratza encore setting 26)190-200F water (Hotter than I was doing, pretty much just filled the press up when inverted)Pour slowly, Stir for ~15 seconds, use two rinsed filters (I do all this slowly so it is around 30 sec brew times). Flip it over and press slowly. Now, I

I timed it. From cold tap water, it started brewing in 20 seconds and completed with a 12-cupful carafe in just under 10 minutes. This was on the "regular" setting. "Bold" would of course take a little longer but probably not much.

I fill it with fine ground fresh beans ( ground 16 seconds) I slightly fill half..mash it down some, fill up, mash it down some more, place the top on and push it down. I get a good cup of coffee that way, that taste likely coffee and not watered down coffee. I also make my own filters..top and bottom cut to size, out of large coffee filters. Saves a fortune on filters. I use two old K-cups to mash them down with to make the filters. Works great!

Sorry this is happening to you. I only use coarse or drip ground coffee, works faster and tastes fine. I use 2 Tb per 6 oz. cup.

I pretty much agree with all of the prior answers, some in the "it depends" category. You can brew a mug of coffee from pre-ground, or from Breville-ground. Either is in the range of 4-5 minutes.

I normally make a 12 cup brew, and it takes about the same time, so I'm not sure why your 2 cup brew would be as long?? My theory is to make 12 cups at one time, and microwave the coffee in my cup for the next couple days, but if you have an aversion to that, it actually doesn't change the flavor! I can't imagine that a 2 cup brew would take as long as a 12 cup brew, but maybe it's inherent in the brewing process??

Coffee making will slow down as minerals build up in the machine. I think 3-5 minutes is a good bet, based on how clean the pipes are in the coffee maker. Personally, I like my coffee very strong, so I prefer a slower drip and am happy with the build-up; when i clean (steeping it with vinegar and water and letting that dissolve the build-up) you'll get a faster pot of coffee but you'll need more grounds to make a great dark cup. Hope that helps.

I've been using this coffee maker for about 3-4 months now. Seems like it will brew a whole pot in about 6-8 minutes. I think that smaller amounts would take a little less. Be prepared to use a courser grind of coffee or you will get sediment. The pot comes with an auxilary filter you put directly in the pot to trap this extra sediment if you decide to run the finely ground coffee instead. Still happy with the purchase.

If you mean, does it drip from the grounds if a cup is poured before brewing is complete, I would say yes, a drop or two. After brewing is complete and it has set a couple min., I'd say rarely and then, a drop.

A few minutes. It takes about six minutes to grind enough coffee for 12 cups. I grind the coffee for the morning while I am watching the evening weather and I grind somewhere between standard drip and espresso grind, a bit finer than regular drip but a small bit coarser than full espresso. There is a caution that the manufacturer states to not grind fast. I grind about 100 rpm, a bit faster than a turn and a half a second. But the taste of the coffee that it grinds is notably better than with a blade grinder, chopper, or even the best electric burr grinder, in my opinion.

I've got a melitta cone. Love it. I've used (and loved) Chemex, as well as some french presses, and auto-drip systems. The chemex is nice, but the filters are expensive. Auto-drip systems just make bad coffee. It's really hard to get the best taste out of your beans with an autodrip system. The Melitta, on the other hand, does just fine. Here's the thing though: You gotta use the correct amount of coffee. The SCCA recommends ~8 grams per 5 ounces of coffee. I found a lifehacker article that recommends 60 grams per liter. The point is, these people who are making weak coffee have simply discovered that the melitta requires you to use more coffee than an auto-drip maker. Oh yeah, edited to add: It works with folgers or other packaged, pre-ground coffees just fine. Why? Because the "dwell time" on the mellitta is very short compared to auto-drip makers, which actually are doing a terrible job (underheating the water and letting it stay in contact with the grounds too long). If you want strong coffee, use more coffee. I think you'll love what you get. Most people, when you say strong coffee, think BITTER coffee, because that's how it's been made. Someone made a second pot with the old grounds mixed in with some new, or it's been evaporating all day on a burner. Really, what you have there is over-brewed, burned coffee. I think that's the type of coffee these folks were looking for, thus making the melitta taste "weak" in comparison.

I only make a six-cup pot of coffee, and timed the process this morning with my Thermopen kitchen timer. From the time I pushed the start button (Mozart song plays the first time) until the Mozart song played the second time (signaling the brew process is complete) was 7 minutes, 54 seconds. I then let the pot sit another 3 minutes before pouring my first cup so most of the coffee can drain out of the secondary filter that is clipped into the pot, or carafe. I always take the secondary filter out of the carafe, or pot before pouring a cup of coffee. The filter will have some, not much, coffee remaining in it. I can not say how long for a full pot, or 12 cup pot of coffee. Hopes this helps.

Just put coffee in and let it steep a minute then push handle down. Works perfectly rarely any grounds in coffee.. Make a good cup of coffee.

It takes me between 10 and 15 minutes to grind enough coffee for a french press coffee maker. I tend to use quite a bit of coffee. Hope this helps.

I make a nice, big cup of coffe with mine. About 16 oz. I've never actually timed it but I would guess about 5 minutes all told, including the time it takes for the grounds to finish draining. Might take less if you don't gring your coffe as fine as I do.

Might depend on how you perform the pour over. I have noticed if you do not pour for like a minute, the device will turn off. I usually make (2) 12 oz cups of coffee from my Chemex (44g coffee, 750-800g water). I have forgotten to turn on the device while pouring, but I have figured that as long as I measured the right amount of water in the kettle that I can pour all the water out without affecting the flavor. Also, I pour just a little bit up front to let the coffee bloom for like 30 seconds but then proceed pouring a steady stream which helps keep the scale active. Sorry for the essay but I hope this helps.
