What grind coffee do you use for this drip decanter?

I use a grind just slightly finer than for normal drip coffee. I then wet all the grounds with minimal water and let sit for 30 seconds. Then I very slowly pour the water over the coffee again raising the level in the filter overall just an inch at max. Coffee will bloom while doing so, and I alter the pour pattern to evenly wash over the entire bloom "crust". This makes a great cup of coffee for me.

There are other pods available from other suppliers.. Do a search on Amazon.. Also I have found that if you use #1 coffee filters in the basket you can use regular grind coffee..

you have to buy the pod maker and pod filters. then any coffee Will work. revcocupcoffee.com. has a good expresso.called genesis.

not too fine; drip grind is too fine - you'll end up with coffee soup. Try using percolator grind setting if you have it.

I use mine primarily for drip and expresso, but it has a very broad range with multiple choices within each type of grind.

Use good espresso beans for starters. Beyond that, adjust the grind (but only when the grinder is operating) to level 1-3 (finest is 1) and move the flavor control knob on the front of the unit to maximum.

I use a French press. I would think it is better suited for drip. It's a medium roast.

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.

Weigh and grind what you need completely, remove the empty bean holder, and use a brush to clean the burrs and chamber. Mainly an issue for finer grinds. For drip coffee, the finest of the coarse settings works, and tipping the grinder while it finishes grinding and giving it a slap empties the chamber. That won't work for finer grinds, and you'll need a brush. The brush provided is inadequate, so you'll have to buy one.

I use Trader Joe's French Roast and grind it to an expresso grind ... very fine ... I serve it at my B&B; and everyone loves it. Just be careful to keep all the grinds in the container and don't allow any to get caught between the container and its cover, or it will make a mess. Use any kind of coffee you like ... not instant!

Any kind of coffee that has been freshly ground will work. However keep in mind that better quality coffee will yield better tasting results. Don't skimp on the good stuff

I use Folger's Black Silk in the regular grind. Something else might be better, but that's all our store offers! We're in a small town! However, the coffee is very good so it must be a good grind for the pot. Ann Sciba

Happy coincidence, as I text this response, I'm drinking a cup of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee ($51/lb!) freshly ground in my Baratza. The coarse grind setting is perfect for my Bodum press. I couldn't be happier. BTW, works all the way to an almost powder fine grind for an espresso maker, also. You can't go wrong!

I use drip grind coffee which is recommended. Folgers shoud be fine. If your local market has a selection of coffee beans that you can grind there.. you will get the freshest coffee, just remember to keep the bag sealed tight to keep it fresh longer.This assumes you are using a reusable k cup or k cup compatable brewer.

You don't need a decanter - that's the best part! It just fits over your coffee mug and drips right into it and makes great, fresh coffee. You definitely need to purchase the filters that go with this though...don't try to find a substitute. They are a little pricey, but well worth it! I have bought three of these on a recommendation from a colleague (for myself and gifts) and everyone who uses it LOVES it!

burr... and it works great the ground coffee is evenly ground and to just the right type of grind for drip type coffee pots.

It depends what kind of coffee you usually prefer. I like a darker roast than most people drink, so I use a medium-dark roast from a local coffee house (Caribou Coffee, Obsidian). If you are comparing to Starbucks, they usually use their Kenya blend for their espresso drinks. Start with your favorite bean, grind it medium-fine (not as fine as espresso, but not as coarse as for drip brewing). The grind matters greatly. If it's too fine, it can clog the filter and cause problems with brewing. If it's too coarse, you don't get the best flavor extraction. I hope this helps.
