Filter Coffee Machine

hey everyone this is so funny..im a big fan of coffee and i always wanted a coffee maker so my friends got me a braun coffee maker machine for my birthday anyways… i need to know how to best use it? i mean shall i change the filter and coffee every time i make a new pot or is it ok to use it more than once?? i would really appreciate anyone that can help

Use fresh coffee and a clean filter for every pot. Don

Oke, so we have the same beans, same grind, same ‘per serving’ dose, only in the single piston we make a normal, regular, black coffee, and in the double piston we take a double shot, and make a double espresso. Which one would contain more caffeine? I know an espresso contains a lot LESS caffeine than a regular coffee, but does that also count for a DOUBLE espresso?

Double Espresso contains double the caffiene so probably ~160 mg of caffiene. I think a regular coffee contains about 100 mg

I have given up all hope. If I’m not at work and the ground coffee doesn’t come in prepackaged servings and I don’t know exactly how much water to add to the machine….I can never make a good pot of coffee.
My mom gave me a 12 cup coffee pot for Christmas. Why I’m not sure because I live alone, but anyway. I only want to make enough coffee for 1 serving. How do i do this?
I have Folgers Classic Roast in Medium (I started out cheap since I didn’t trust myself.) The side of the container says "1 serving (6 fl. oz.) / 1 tablespoon of coffee." Yeah….didn’t work. I poured in 6 oz of cold water and 1 tablespoon of coffee…..and it sucked.
Help me please. How do I make one good single serving of coffee? What are the measurements? (I like strong coffee, not watered down.)

Well it would help if you told us why it sucked. Was it too strong or too weak. Then obviously you adjust either the amount of coffee used or water used, depending on whether you would have preferred it stronger or weaker. Don’t worry, you’ll figure it out. As for me, I LOVE instant coffee, love to have my water boiling. You may want to try instant, there are some great kinds out there and it may be easier for you!

Are coffee machines with permanent coffee filters good? I have a coffee machine that uses the disposable filters, and I’m considering buying one with a permanent filter. Are they good? Are they bad? What are the pros and cons about them?

Coffee machines with permanent filters are good. Paper filters take flavor from the coffee and put in paper flavor but it depends on your palate whether or not you can taste it or if it even matters to you. They say the gold filter is the best filter to keep flavor. The only con to the permanent filters is that the good ones are around $20 to replace but they do last a long time. And you should be able to buy a gold filter for your existing coffee maker.

i have a breville 800es coffee esspresso maker and need some more things for it. I need some extensions for the coffee filter head a bigger jug a temp stick and a place to discard my used coffee grounds?

does any one know eher to find the right parts?

I bought the type for a cafitiere instead of a filter coffee machine. Can I use it in my machine? What’s the difference between the two? I’d feel a bit silly returning it especially seeing as I’ve lost my receipt, but I don’t know anyone else with a cafitiere, so it seems a bit of a waste not to use it.

No problem, most coffees can be used interchangably the only difference between them is how fine the beans are ground. Go ahead.

I have ground coffee, a pot, coffee filters and a blender, microwave stove fridge..just no coffee machine.

Boil water, pour into a bowl and add coffee grounds, stir around a bit and then strain it with the coffee filter in the strainer. I have made it this way in a pinch when the coffee machine broke.

I have seen these single serve coffees in the store and they look great. Is there a way that you can use the coffee in a regular machine?

No, they’re sealed in special little containers for that specific machine. However you can still get great coffee for a regular coffee machine.

The only reason those little capsules look so good is because of advertising. You can easily get better coffee from somewhere else, especially if you can find someone selling some nice locally roasted stuff.

Just wondered if I could do this to save time! When I add the filter coffee into the top bit, can I put the sugar in their too? Or will this damage the machine?
Thanks, I thought it probably would. Great idea about putting it in the bottom of the pot – I never thought of that (duh!).

Question answered cheers )

I wouldn’t do it. It will make your basket and all the attaching plastic hardware sticky and hard to clean. Plus the drain hole will get clogged when the sugar/water dries. Why not just add the sugar to the pot before the coffee drains into it?
