Question: how many tablespoons of coffee per 8 ounces of water?
Document: Multiply the "number" by 4 and that's about how many ounces of coffee you can make at one time. #4 makes about 16 ounces. You can make less of course, but note that the #6 is going to be very big and much heavier than the #4. Also note that the #6 filters aren't everywhere like the #2 and #4. However, you CAN put a smaller paper filter in, though the capacity will be that of the smaller filter.
I ordered this out of concern over BPA's in my coffee, but now that I have it I am just as happy that I got it because it looks and feels like a piece of beautiful fine china... very nice quality! The number 6 filter works out well for having plenty of room to pour in water with around 8 scoops of med grind coffee to fill an entire 2 quart thermos, and takes up no permanent space on the counter as a bonus.
Here are the secrets that they use but you don't. First, they grind their coffee a little courser than you would. Second, they use a lot of coffee per cup: 1.5 scoops. But the thing that really stands out is the fact that their filters are HUGE, so the water sits in the grounds for a lot longer than your Mr. Coffee and that pulls a lot more flavor out.So how can you get exactly the same results? Here's how I do it.
The water never touches plastic and the cup is PERFECTO! There is no comparison to a cup of coffee made from an automatic maker (water boiled in plastic - ulgh). I actually like many of the K-cup coffees that I've had, but I like the flavor, and freshness of this process even better (not to mention staying away from water boiled in plastic).
I purchased this coffee filter holder with the goal of getting rid of heated plastic from my diet. It is so simple to use. Just boil some water and pour it a little at a time over 2 Tablespoons of coffee in a paper filter and your coffee is ready. I did try a gold reusable filter, but it lets too much of the grounds through.
The Cilio has made some of the best coffee I've tasted. Make sure you preheat the Cilio before using. I've tried several methods for brewing coffee including the ones shown on youtube. One of my favorite methods is to have two measuring cups. In one cup I place 16oz. of filtered water and preheat to 205 degrees. In the other measuring cup I scoop six tablespoons ground coffee. I have placed a #4 filter in the preheated Cilio and placed it over my coffee mug.
The process was quick, perhaps 3 minutes at most to make a delicious 8 oz cup of coffee.In response to some reviews: my holder came fully glazed with a tag attached that listed the coutry of origin as Germany.
And you can buy fairly inexpensive coffee and it still tastes great.Use 1.25 scoops per # of your filter. #4 filter: 4 x 1.25 = 5 scoops. Grind it coarser than you should for a cone filter, by about a full number on the grinder.
I had a Frieling porcelain coffee filter holder before, but the No. 2. Broke in a freak accident, but when i had it, i loved it. Now that i have the No. 4, i can't get enough coffee per day. haha The rich saturated coffee that manual pour brewing achieved can not be matched by any coffee machine, so anyone who likes starbucks or peets coffee, this is going to blow your mind away.
Since I am the only coffee drinker in the house, I have wanted a single serve coffee maker for over a year. The cost of the Quisinart and Kuerig machines plus the many bad reviews made me hesitate. In addition, the cost and the enviornmental impact of the K-cups made we want to use my own coffee, which is possible with both of these machines.
Answer: Hello, we generally recommend to start with 1 tbsp per 4 fl. oz. and then adjust as necessary. Thanks!
