will this strain coffee grounds?

It would but even though it is a very fine mesh it is not as fine as on designated wire mesh coffee filters. Some very fine particles could get through but they would be very small.

Try grinding your coffee finer. The brew will be stronger without having to increase the amount of coffee.

Yes the Java Jig filter will hold a little over 2 tablespoons of coffee grounds. Two tablespoons fills it to about 1/4" from the top.

Mine does. The pressure for every pull varies depending on grind, tamp pressure, amount of coffee, etc. I've even noticed that the oiliness of the beans affects the brew pressure. If your doesn't work I suggest you call Breville.

No it does not--and for a reason--if you press or "squeeze" the grinds it will release a more acidic and very bold tasting brew which is often also quite bitter depending on how dark the beans your using are roasted. So the couple of ounces your trying to squeeze out is best used for your flowers!--they'll respond in glorious fashion!!

You will have some loose grounds because this is a metal (mesh) filter not paper and it only occurs if you use extremely finely ground coffee. We however, use beans and grind them ourselves leaving the result somewhat coarse. It will depend on the grounds you use. Otherwise, it's an awesome French press.

Yes, but imperfectly. I wouldn't use it regularly as a coffee filter though; every once and again our coffee maker overflows into the carafe, bringing coffee grounds with the overflow, which I'll then filter with this strainer while pouring. Smaller grounds get through (as with a French Press), otherwise, it does a fine job.

I use it for whole leaf cold brew tea. I think coffee grounds would go thru the mesh.

I have used it for rooibos and it catches most of the grounds, maybe not 100% but sufficient for me. I haven't used it for coffee, but I can't see why it wouldn't work.

No. The grinder operates for a set time to grind a specific quantity of beans. Even if the amount of pre-ground coffee that went through the grinder was correct, the angle of the inlet from the hopper is quite shallow and I doubt the pre-ground coffee would even slide into the grinder.

I don't know , in my 10 cup Bunn , I quite a bit of grounds in pot, too much too keep straining every time you pour a cup.

I've made the same observation. The amount of grounds seems to be totally dependent on the amount of water you put in the tank. I asked the Breville CSR about it and got a non-answer. It seems to make the same strength coffee regardless of the setting.

No, the settings run from Extra Fine to Fine to Medium to Coarse, with four levels of each. For espresso, I set at the lowest level of Fine and French press at the lowest level of Coarse. I've done percolated coffee only a few times, but I ground the beans at the middle setting of Fine and everyone raved about the coffee. So, hopefully that will work for you... trial and error always works as well...good luck

I've used it with dark roasts. Not ground for French Press but moderately coarse. This grinder is bad about scattering coffee to the point that we have to keep it on a mat to avoid scattering all over the counter. It develops static - enough that ground coffee clings to the hopper and the inner areas of the grinder. The hopper doesn't quite snap in place fully, so we have to hold it flush to the grinder when we use it. Other than those issues it does a good job of grinding the coffee.

I would say yes if not tooo fine a grind. It is a fine mesh and if you've ever use a coffee press you would probably get same effect. I haven't done it myself because I don't drink coffee so I don't see why not. Finished pot should contain no grounds. Not to mention that when I was young, my grandmother use to make great coffee by putting the grounds in empty egg shells. The coffee stayed pretty settled at the bottom of the pot inside the egg shells and you poured carefully. So this should work.

No, that us why I bought this model. Just rinse out the reusable basket filter. No grounds go into your coffee.

Sorry can't help with this one. I only used it once and it left coffee grounds all over the place so I just trashed them.
