What kind of grind is best for this pot?

I use medium, slightly fine grind, with a Cory Glass Rod filter (e-bay) and it never clogs.

I grind my own coffee. If u grind it at the store, try between fine n medium. U don't want it to fine or it will be bitter. I don't buy pre ground coffee.

A coarse grind works well. The filter won't clog like the one for the Bodum does if you use a finer grind, but the coarse grind seems to provide a little more flavor and eases cleanup. Play around with the amount of beans you use until you find the amount that meets the taste you like. One other tip is to boil the filter in a pot of water with a little Oxyclean every couple of weeks and the filter will last longer. Enjoy some great coffee.

Depends on how strong you want your coffee to be. I use a medium-fine grind and let it bubble for about a minute before I take it off the heat. If you like your coffee stronger, a finer grind will increase it's flavor. BUT- too fine of a grind will have a tendency to clog the filter and dramatically increase the time it takes for the coffee to return to the bottom pot, also increasing the coffee's flavor (maybe even too much). Hope this helps.

I used coffee ground slightly coarse but it makes great coffee regardless of the grind. The problem with this item is that the coffee pot is not made to last. Don't worry about the grind, it won't last you long enough to make a difference. I replaced the coffee pot twice and gave up on it. It turned into a monthly expense.

I dont have the "Exact Yama" grind per say, I also grind mine medium-fine, I guess. I have "Cory" filter for mine, which I think eliminates the clogging that paper filters are prone to. You will have to play with it a few times; I also find that nature of the coffee demands different brewing times: for Kenya, I like to leave it on for 120 sec; for regular Colombian, ~ minute and a half. With Espresso roast, one minute is quite enough. You will get a hang of it, its not difficult.

I've used all different grinds. I find the larger to medium grinds extract the most flavor from the coffee. The espresso finer grinds tend to take quite a while to drip and cause a bitter taste to the brew due to that long drip process. My advice...experiment! Happy Holidays!

I use a medium grind. Finer grinds will clog it up. However, I use a Cory glass filter. Medium to fine grind may work OK with the cloth filter', but medium or larger seems to work best with the glass. But really it's not that 'picky'!

Try medium fine to fine for a good starting point. Again, depends on the coffee, the temperature of the water, and your taste preferences.

Right in the middle works best for me. About what you would use for a drip machine, or slightly coarser. I've found that for small batches of coffee a finer grind works best, but for a full pot you want to go slightly coarser so the filter does not get clogged. Hope this helps

Yes. Course grind. If you want to reduce to flour consistency, I would use ceramic with broad pestle

I've made the 454 HP with a french press and it's very good. Just make sure the grind is fairly coarse.

Yes. I have used in mine. The grind is a little to fine but it works. The flavor is much better in a Moka pot. Get a Moka pot, you are worth it!

I have used all different grinds. I like espresso, but I have relatives who like weaker coffee.

first off so you do not do what most people do and if you unscrew it wrong you can break the top plastic. You can go to a good store like bed bath and beyond and you should be able to get a burr grinder that is relatively inexpensive. The only thing that blade grinder is good for is the kitchen with grinding herbs. You should grind for a medium grind and it did mine between the medium and fine and then follow the instructions for how to load the grinds and then brew and you should have a great cup of coffee. Remember to always never bang the grinds out, you blow through the tube into the trash or where ever you discard the grinds because you will damage it if you bang out the grinds. Hope this helps

I did not find it to grind consistsnty. Too much variation per batch. This was not my experience with it's previous model. I retired the new one and got the Japenese hand crank conical burr. From Hario $42. Beautiful grind. Slow. Take the Zen Approach!

I use medium to fine. If you grind your own beans, you may want to experiment with different grinds to find what works best for you.

nope, you're supposed to grind themusually use a slightly finer grind than a drip coffee maker, but it's mostly to taste, the coarser the grind, the longer it'll have to steep though

I really don't know, I have only used it to cook on. It's easy to find either fine or coarse grind, though.

I can't say. I use it for espresso. So I use a very fine grind. You can adjust it for any grind size. It takes about 5 minutes or so to grind enough for espresso. But that's a really fine grind but also a small amount. It would be considerably faster on a larger grind.

i grind coffee...don't need real clean between grinds....I'd suggest the brush that Amazon or a hardware store sells

I use a medium grind. I prefer Peet's coffee and buy it from the grocery already ground and that consistency always works well. I prefer a strong cup of coffee so I add a bit more than I do when brewing for guests.

I have only used it for pepper, but Yes, you can set the grind to quite fine.

We haven't used it for coffee yet but i would use a coarse grind. The finer the grind the more it will slip through into the coffee.

Try using a most coarse grind and more coffee. i use 70 grams per pot, which is almost 9 grams per cup.
