Question 1

Does the permanent stainless steel mesh filter have plastic on it or is it entirely stainless steel?

Accepted Answer

The 3 cup (17 oz) new version has a metal filter. The black part has what feels to be a rubbery/silicone-like texture. It does not feel like plastic. I’m curious about the 8 cup (34 oz) version. Some reviews with pics show a plastic free filter in 2023. I wonder if anyone has receive a 34 oz with plastic.

Question 2

What is the best grind to use for making a coffee in this pot? My daughter complains the water flows thru too quick and makes a weak cup of coffee.

Accepted Answer

Use COARSE grind, use more or less to taste (experiment is best)! >DO NOT use a paper filter, as this captures the essential oils that make the coffee more flavorful. Pour a small amount of water over the grounds to just wet. Wait 15-30 sec. -It will "puff up" the grounds, THEN pour the rest of the water slowly. Also it is important to use filtered water heated to (about) 177 degrees. (Boiled water will scorch giving you a bitter taste).

Question 3

How do you measure 8 cups out of this product? I bearly even get two cups out of it. Did I get sent the wrong size?

Accepted Answer

It's a little strange and confusing, but coffee is measured in 4 oz cups instead of 8 oz cups. As the description states, this coffee maker holds 34 oz, which is 8.5 4-oz cups. Most coffee mugs are 10-16 oz, so most people will only get 2-3 "cups" of coffee out of one 34 oz pot.

Question 4

Can you use paper filter alone, or would you need to put the paper inside the plastic filter for support?

Accepted Answer

probably cant use paper alone, would slip into pot with weight combination of grounds and water. but dont use paper, just use the provided metal/plastic filter, otherwise youll take away all those tasty coffee oils.
