Can this scale be used for making pour over coffee? "Pour-Over" is a manual coffee brewing method that uses a digital scale.

It can be used for anything that you would weigh by the 100th of an ounce up to 11lbs. Not sure what pour over coffee is. If it is like a French press, yes to you could weigh grounds in press after zeroing the scale and then pour your water over it.

I use the scale to measure food in a Sandwich Restaurant. It works perfect for me. Very good for consistency.

Not sure what you mean???? Are you asking to put the coffee in a carafe???? I'd just lift up the unit (the bucket like thing) and pour it in.

This machine lets you brew pre-ground coffee, so the only way I can think of is to grind the beans, add the chicory to the ground coffee, and measure the amount you need for a single serving into the ground coffee chamber. A long way of saying, yes, you can do it.

not really. also, since there is a pour spout, coffee splashes out of it while pressing.

I don't think so, but you can set it up so you only need to push a button and you have great coffee in about one minute. I think it's fabulous..i used to do the automatic thing but this is better coffee and no fuss or mess.

That's a great question. I suppose you could do that and it would be pretty close, but honestly, when the measure is less than a cup, I usually use my measuring cup set instead. I only use the Taylor when I need to measure more than a cup...which is most of the time! I've had this scale for three years and I love it. I initially bought it because I have a bread machine and wanted accuracy in measuring the flours. I just bought another one as a gift for a wedding. I will always use this scale!

Yes, you can take the carafe out to pour a cup while it's still brewing. But don't wait too long to put the carafe back in or the basket will OVERFLOW and you'll have coffee and ground flowing out the top of the basket.

I will say now that the glass pot is fantastic. This is true mostly because you can see how much coffee you have made well in advance of over filling. It is also great because the pot is calibrated - those bumps artfully relay how much water per scoop of coffe grounds you might want. This helps to make the best custom pot of coffee through the drip system with out measuring water in an additional step.

Dead easy. 4 tbs of standard ground coffee (starbucks, peets etc) in the bottom. Boil kettle (I have a kettle I use for tea), let the water sit for 1 min so it is not boiling and scalds the grounds. Pour the just off the boil water on grinds, let sit for 4 mins then plunge the plunger and pour. It sounds much more complicated written down than it is in practice. Advantages over a coffee machine, 1) cheaper, 2) much easier to clean - just rinse out grounds and pop in dishwasher. You just unscrew the plunger components. 3) Easy to make small amounts 4) No filters or capsules required. However, if you drink a lot of coffee, you may prefer a machine. Google 'how to use a french press coffee maker'.

the speed of the water and intensity of the coffee are controlled "the old fashioned way" by adjusting 2 things, grind and tamp pressure. the art of using a real machine like this is that over time you come to understand how roast, grind (with a real burr grinder!!) and tamping pressure control and shape your coffee. I suggest you watch videos from Seattle coffee works on you tube and you will being your apprenticeship!!

I have never done it, but I cannot see why not. You just have to get the proportion of coffee right. Start with the amount that the coffee manufacturer (Starbucks, Folgers) suggest on the container. You can add or subtract based on your taste.

no but i measure my coffee by using a measured scoop and i believe that markings would be hard to read.

Not sure what you mean by 'powders'. This coffee maker is designed to work with standard drip coffee grind. Everything from Folgers and Maxwell House to Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts. If the grind is very small, the result could look like powder, but I wouldn't recommend a grind that fine. It would make very strong coffee, and might float up and over the filter and get into the coffee pot, or worse, cause the filter to fold over and block the drip. This would cause an overflow and a very big mess. But if you use a standard grind, its a great inexpensive coffee maker. Nothing fancy like a timer or automatic shut-off or temperature settings, but an all around good appliance for a very good price. Not sure what you mean by 'powders'.

The round knob adjusts the strength of the brew (quantity of coffee used). The small button underneath it starts a rinse or decalcification cycle. The full instruction manual is available on Delonghi's web site.

It's basically a French press, so you boil the water and pour it over the coffee grounds.

I'm pretty sure its the 4 cup size. I use it for pour over coffee. I had the larger one before that I used with my Cuisanart 10 cup automatic coffee maker and this one is about half the size

No. You put in as much water as you need to make the amount of coffee you want. It all heats, pours through the grinds and becomes coffee.
