Making Great Coffee at Home

There are two types of auto drip machines available: the cone-shaped filter and the flat-bottom filter design. The cone-shape design is similar to the manual drip method except it's controlled electronically. Both brewing methods are easy, and may include extras such as automatic timer, thermal carafe, etc. The cone-shape filter calls for a finer grind and delivers slighter stronger flavor and better body than the flat-bottom design.

Grind
What kind of filter are you using?

Cone filter?
Then your grind should be fine (Approximately 18-23 seconds in a blade grinder).

Flat-bottom filter?
Then your grind should be medium. (Approximately 10-15 seconds in a blade grinder until the coffee has the texture of coarse sand.)

Directions:

  • Fill the coffee maker with cold water.
  • Place the filter into the basket, add one tablespoon of coffee for each six-ounce cup.
  • Place coffee and filter into the holder, close the lid, and turn on.
