For drip coffee, how much coffee is ground in the 20 seconds? What kind of volume of grounds would I expect to get after 20 seconds (again targeting grounds for drip)?

Bodum Bistro Electric Burr Coffee Grinder, Black In my experience as an owner of this excellent mill, at the medium setting the Bodum Bistro will grind a bit over 4 coffee measures, or almost 9 tablespoons of coffee in 20 seconds. Hope this helps.

i basically agree with the others... i can grind about half a cup of espresso in 5 minutes or so... depends on how focused you are :)

I conducted a few experiments to determine the amount of actual ground coffee left between the lower burr and outlet to the chute. Here's what I did. I completely cleaned out the machine with the brush and a strong vacuum to remove ALL particles. The machine at this point was like out of the box new. I placed precisely 20 grams of beens in the hopper and ground them until they all went through. I ended up with 18 grams of coffee. There are only 2 grams left between the lower burr and the exit port to the chute. Next I repeated and ground another 20 grams and this time ended up with exactly 20 grams of ground coffee. So in essence, each time you grind a new batch of coffee, it will force out the remaining 2 grams from previous grind. That's a very small amount of beans. Around 10 beans to be precise! If you are REALLY fussy and want totally fresh coffee each time or changing to a different bean, simply toss in 10 beans and it will clear the 2 grams of beans left from the previous grind. So what I do each day is measure out my 20 grams of beans, which is perfect for a 12 ounce cup of coffee each morning. I use the drip over method directly into my insulated Bodum coffee mug. Delicious!! If you're concerned about left over coffee retention, you're only looking at a measly 2 grams! I'm REALLY impressed with this grinder!

I only make a six-cup pot of coffee, and timed the process this morning with my Thermopen kitchen timer. From the time I pushed the start button (Mozart song plays the first time) until the Mozart song played the second time (signaling the brew process is complete) was 7 minutes, 54 seconds. I then let the pot sit another 3 minutes before pouring my first cup so most of the coffee can drain out of the secondary filter that is clipped into the pot, or carafe. I always take the secondary filter out of the carafe, or pot before pouring a cup of coffee. The filter will have some, not much, coffee remaining in it. I can not say how long for a full pot, or 12 cup pot of coffee. Hopes this helps.

It takes me between 10 and 15 minutes to grind enough coffee for a french press coffee maker. I tend to use quite a bit of coffee. Hope this helps.

The amount of coffee is limited to 10grams, and the amount of water (in seconds) is programmable. The amount of time to cycle out the old puck and grind coffee for another cup s approximately 10 seconds. So, for a cup of coffee it takes about a minute. This is really more of a personal coffee maker....if you're looking to make 5 cups of coffee you'd have to refill the water reservoir several times. In my opinion....you should look for a higher capacity unit.

I loved this product. It was not slow at all. I agree that the ground of the coffee makes a difference. I just used standard drip grind. It was just right. Far less time than tracking down a vendor to buy a cup!!

If you are filling the reservoir it should make 12 cups. It starts brewing when you press the button. If you are dispensing coffee within a minute or two, it can not keep up. If you wait until the signal that brewing is complete, then you should have as many cups of coffee as you added water. I hope this helps.

I have never tried brewing only 2 cups of coffee. I brew a full pot, and it takes about 15 to 18 minutes. When you pour your water into the reserve, do you have the same problem I do? It pours down the side of the carafe and all over the counter. Or When it is full of coffee and I go to pour my first cup, it pours down the side of the carafe, and I get it all down the front of my white counters. The time frame to brew coffee is ridiculous. The only thing that works great laughingly is the self timer lol.

I've never timed it. It's fairly short, maybe 5 minutes. I believe it percs too quickly because there is evidence that the water is overloading the basket containing the coffee grounds. A significant quantity of grounds end up in the bottom of the pot and in your cup when the coffee is poured.

It pretty much depends on how long you cold brew. After about 3 hours the caffeine levels (per ounce) are roughly equal. With hot (roughly boiling temperature) water you can achieve effectively 100% caffeine extraction in about 1 minute. This is why drip coffee contains so much caffeine (120-150mg per 8oz cup) and espresso has considerably less (on the order of 80-90mg/oz due to the shorter time to brew - about 20-30 seconds)With cold water the extraction takes much longer, but is effectively 100% by 2-3 hours depending on how coarse/fine the grounds are. For the Toddy, I generally give it no less than 12, and sometimes up to 72 hours to brew, so I would expect 100% caffeine extraction at any rate. Enjoy!

I've been using this coffee maker for about 3-4 months now. Seems like it will brew a whole pot in about 6-8 minutes. I think that smaller amounts would take a little less. Be prepared to use a courser grind of coffee or you will get sediment. The pot comes with an auxilary filter you put directly in the pot to trap this extra sediment if you decide to run the finely ground coffee instead. Still happy with the purchase.

It ONLY works with ground coffee. You open the top and put in a small coffee filter, then your ground coffee. I believe the instructions say 4 tablespoons (double check your own to confirm) but I usually just put an amount that looks like "enough" to me. It's not exactly rocket surgery.

It really depends on the size of your coffee pot. I use 2 tablespoons per 12 cup coffee pot. After pouring in the hot water and waiting 15 minutes, you will be amazed how clean and shiny your coffee pot is. The powder dip is the one that I would recommend as the liquid does not seem to clean as well. You will not be disappointed in this product. It is truly amazing! Good luck, Larry!

I put in 320ml of water, 20g of coffee and get about 250ml (8oz) of brew out of it. That's about all you can get in there without making a mess.

I ground a double espresso shot in a little under 2 minutes. That is around 14 g (1/2 oz), so you have to do the math for other brews (french press, drip etc).

I like my coffee pretty bold so I use dark roasts and grind fine (expresso grind). Run my grinder about 10 sec. I also use paper filters instead of the gold filter because of this.
