I recently joined Seattle Coffee Direct and received coffee beans and Cuisinart coffee grinder. I always just bought ground or ground it using the machine at the grocery store. So, I need advice. How many coffee beans do I put in for a pot of coffee? How long do I grind it to get the right grind for my drip coffee maker? How long do I grind for my percolator (yes, I have one of those too).

like a MR. coffee

I am interested in the electric load required to run a small Mr. Coffee type drip coffee maker - either in watts or amps. The one I uses is a very small one - 4 cup capacity, but I expect the heating element is the same as the larger (8, 12 cup) models.

I have a white Mr Coffee coffee maker that is easy to clean except for one place. That is the part just above the drip basket, where the hot water drips into the basket. The basket is also discoloring, but not as much as the above part. I have tried formula 409 and scorering powder but it has little effect.

We have had at least three drip coffee makers that have overflowed. Some were even new. The coffee would go into the filter basket and never go out into the carafe and eventually overflow. We have one now that doesn't have a carafe, but stays in the container until you place a cup under it, but would like to find out why we have had this problem with more than one brand.

We have a Bunn coffee maker that has a "two pot" water reservoir, so when you add water there is an instant brewing process because there already is hot water inside. This week I noticed that the flow was literally down to a drip, now it takes triple the time to brew a pot of coffee. How do I get it to flow better? All I see is the vinegar method, but I'm afraid, with the reservoir, that I'll never be able to get all the vinegar rinsed out. I've heard of the term "delime." Is there any special procedure or product for this?

how much coffee does one add for 4 cups,,, 8 cups,,,, 12 cups for drip coffee makers??

My mother always made perked coffee and now everyone uses drip coffee makers. Why? Which method produces the best coffee?

I just got a percolated coffee maker and I could never go back to the drip coffee,there is no comparison!...xxx

I'm sur 90% has to do with the coffee, but what about different drip coffee makers?
