For drip coffee, how much coffee is ground in the 20 seconds? I'm looking at the Bodum Bistro but am concerned with how much coffee it will grind within 20 seconds time...We mostly drink drip and typically brew 2 "large" cups of coffee with a set of #2 Porcelain Filtercones (about 2 good tablespoons of coffee per "cup"). Every once and a while we will make a 10 cup pot with the old Bunn.What kind of volume of grounds would I expect to get after 20 seconds (again targeting grounds for drip)? Any help would be great!

Bodum Bistro Electric Burr Coffee Grinder, BlackIn 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 grind 32 grams in 20 seconds. The fineness of grind is about half way between the finest and coursest settings.

In 18 sec I grind enough for 24 oz of medium (2 symbols coarser than drip-symbol) dark-roasted coffee. No static dust; repeatable; just perfect!

Finer than drip, coarser than espresso. If coffee is too weak, grind a little finer. Be sure to boil the filter in water for 5-10 min before first use.

Thanks for your responses! I was hoping there was a way to adjust the strength because the coffee is too strong. I use Tully's French roast and it makes a great cup of coffee in the drip coffee maker, but this Krups does such an excellent job of making the most of these coffee beans, it looks like I may need to find a medium roast bean. Any suggestions? ;-)

Everyone has their own preference for their coffee. I like mine pretty strong so I use a good amount of coffee and set the grinder for seven . You can start at about three or four and see how that works. Then if there are still remaining beans, just add a couple of minutes until you know how long. Mine is very consistent in the time required. You won't hurt anything by experimenting. And you will enjoy a great cup of coffee!

A few minutes. It takes about six minutes to grind enough coffee for 12 cups. I grind the coffee for the morning while I am watching the evening weather and I grind somewhere between standard drip and espresso grind, a bit finer than regular drip but a small bit coarser than full espresso. There is a caution that the manufacturer states to not grind fast. I grind about 100 rpm, a bit faster than a turn and a half a second. But the taste of the coffee that it grinds is notably better than with a blade grinder, chopper, or even the best electric burr grinder, in my opinion.

I make a nice, big cup of coffe with mine. About 16 oz. I've never actually timed it but I would guess about 5 minutes all told, including the time it takes for the grounds to finish draining. Might take less if you don't gring your coffe as fine as I do.

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.

It depends on how strong you like your coffee. We make ours in a 12 cup coffee pot and I put 5 scoops of grounds in. It would take two grinding runs to produce that amount of coffee grounds, however its just a touch of a button and 30 seconds to do it so its relatively quick and pain free.

As it happens, I just boiled water for coffee using my bodium French press which is supposed to be an 8 cup/ Itook about 15 minutes. I am not sure exactly how many onces of water that is, but I should also say it is important not to overfill it. It will still work quickly,

As you probably have read by now, this sweet little Bunn will make anywhere from 2 to 10 cups just perfectly. Be sure to leave it "on" for ready to make. That way you will have your coffee in 3 minutes. Typically, I make 6 cups each day.

It actually grinds very very fine coffee grinds but if your talking a large amount for a coffee pot you will be grinding for a long time and your arm will be tired. If your going to grind large amounts on a daily basis then you might want to find a larger grinder. It typically takes about 200 rotations for a single cup so you do the calculations to see of it's worth it. Hope that helps.

Hi John... not sure what coffee you are using. The filters need dense, high-altitude coffee or the water will run too fast. But yes, generally try a finer grind and add a little coffee, there will be an optimal balance at which it will brew in 3-4 minutes. If you keep having issues let us know!

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 fill it with fine ground fresh beans ( ground 16 seconds) I slightly fill half..mash it down some, fill up, mash it down some more, place the top on and push it down. I get a good cup of coffee that way, that taste likely coffee and not watered down coffee. I also make my own filters..top and bottom cut to size, out of large coffee filters. Saves a fortune on filters. I use two old K-cups to mash them down with to make the filters. Works great!

Now this is just a loose estimate, but... it takes me about 90sec to grind 2 tbsp of coffee. 1/2 cup = 8 tbsp, so quadruple that 90sec time estimate and that gives us: 6min to grind 1/2 cup of coffee. I'd add another 60sec for fatigue :-) Hope that helps.

Nothing wrong with that, but unnecessary. BTW, you can get more out of a pound of coffee by doing what I call, second coffee. After you drain the coffee, you can add 5 more cups of cold water to the grounds and let it sit another 12 hours, then drain again. With high quality coffee beans, this second run is almost as rich as the first.

Although I have not tried a percolator, I have tried a drip coffee maker with poor results. This grind really needs time to brew. FOR really great taste I use a French press and allow it to brew for 12 minutes before pressing. You really must try it. I say many French presses today at Home Goods for under $15.00.
