Coffeemakers and the Size of Coffee Grounds Used
The type of Coffeemaker you like and use is a matter of taste, time and how much money you want to spend. Each type of coffee maker will use different types of filters and different amounts of coffee and size of the grind. Most drip machines will use a medium grind. A drip maker will take about 4 to 5 minutes to make a full pot of coffee which is usually 10 to 12 cups of coffee. On the other hand a percolator takes about 15 minutes. Filter drip machines need a much finer grind than percolators. May I ad that percolators are not used very much anymore. They were really popular back in the 50′s thru the 70′s. Below is a list of common coffee makers that are easy to find along with the size grind you will want to use for each type.
French Press Coffeemakers
The French Press is the coffee maker of choice among your gourmet coffee drinkers. The French press is also called a plunge filter and provides the purest coffee flavor of any of the coffee makers on the market. This method steeps hot water mixed with coffee for 3 to 5 minutes and then presses the grounds to the bottom of the pot with a plunger thus the name plunge filter. The end result is a very good pot of coffee with a great aroma. The oil from the coffee beans is usually seen floating on top of the coffee (this is a good thing because of the added flavor) because a paper filter is not used. The beans are courtly ground for the French Press.
Automatic Drip Coffeemakers
Drip coffee makers are the most common styles of coffee makers you will find in homes across America at the present time here in 2011. Automatic drip coffee makers have been around since the 1970′s and are the easiest to use and some of the most efficient at making a cup of coffee. It usually takes about 5 to 7 minutes to brew a 12 cup pot of coffee. These coffee makers require a medium grind with the ground coffee being placed in a filter basket or a semi-cone shaped paper filter. Some coffee makers use steel filters, others use paper filters. Steel filters will allow more oils to pass, making coffee that is headier and has more body. Paper filters create cleaner, lighter coffee and little or no oil is present in the coffee.
Hand Drip Coffeemakers
The process is simple. First you grind your coffee a bit finer (medium fine) than a press pot and fill the gold mesh filter with the grounds to the level you like for the strength you want. The more coffee grounds the stronger the brew. Heat the water to 195 to 205 degrees in a kettle and pour over the coffee grinds. At first, pour enough for the bloom to form and soak all the coffee. Stir, then pour the rest. The pouring process should take about 3 to 4 minutes.
