How long is the cord? cool bottom, for any surface? Will normal coffe work well, for instance folgers or maxwell house which are only one grind?

Cord is 24 inches and the bottom stays cool. I use Maxwell house coffee and haven't had any problems. Coffee tastes great and is nice and hot the way we like it. Hope this helps.

The cord is 25" long from where it plugs into the wall and to the connection on the pot. I have ceramic counter tops and I do set the pot on a trivet. I have never felt the bottom of the pot but I don't think it gets that hot. I don't think I would set it on a wooden table with something for it to sit on. The ground coffee I use is like yours, only one grind. Some grounds do settle into the bottom of the pot but it is not distracting. In my opinion I don't think you would be sorry about your purchase. I have tried lots of coffee pots and I consider this one the best. Good luck.

The cord from surface of coffee pot (cord inserted) to where plug would be flush with wall when plugged in (in other words your actual distance) is 25.5". No. Mine is not a cool bottom. I noticed my counter was warm (enough to bother me) so I have mine on a trivet. I believe Folgers, etc. off-the-shelf coffees will work just fine in an electric perc. They used to when everyone had perc coffee pots. After drip became the common norm, the grind may have been modified to follow that trend.

Cord is only like 2 foot, but it uses a standard computer plug. I put a 10 foot on it! Bottom was fine on my cheapo 80's formica surface. And yes ran Folgers and even store generic grind brands. Never had a problem. It doesnt like fine grind, you need a coarse grind like Folgers.

One. I grind a bit coarser than an open-bottom cone, or else it drains too slowly.If your cone is draining too quickly, grind your coffee more finely.

Yes, BUT, it's not FINE enough. You will get some sludge. If you are diligent and grind your coffee in larger grounds it might be okay. I abandoned mine.

It has a cord 27" inches long and it is wrapped around the base. You access the cord by pulling the base down and unwrapping the cord.Very good design and you can use this grinder for grinding nuts too. Very happy to reply as we love our unit.

This has an adjustable knob under the handle which allows you to adjust the corseness. It can be very corse or very fine, but you will probably have fine powder either way (just less corse ground). You will get a workout grinding your coffe!

I am mentioning coffee beans but actually, I am planning on grinding dehydrated vegetables and they are about the consistency of the coffee beans. I need the bur grinder to do it real thin, almost volatile. I also need a big compartment to throw the veggie chips, like between one to two cup capacity... The regular coffee grinder only takes small amounts at a time.

fine to coarse, mine stopped working after a month, could not return, no repair center, after I bought the Cuisinart DBM-8 Supreme Grind Automatic Burr Mill, still works great after 6 months, spend the extra money and save your self from this grinder, its a dud...happy fathers day

No, this isn't a bean to cup machine, it's a mid range machine which I heartily recommend. Buy your coffee from a specialist supplier at grind grade 4 and you will never pine for a grinder again. You can get too fine, hence my advice. This is a cracking machine, Kepp it clean (the milk frother) and the descaling and you will love it for a long time.

Weigh and grind what you need completely, remove the empty bean holder, and use a brush to clean the burrs and chamber. Mainly an issue for finer grinds. For drip coffee, the finest of the coarse settings works, and tipping the grinder while it finishes grinding and giving it a slap empties the chamber. That won't work for finer grinds, and you'll need a brush. The brush provided is inadequate, so you'll have to buy one.

I concur with all comments so far, except I find it too messy to use. Coffee grounds fly out in every direction between the grinder and the receptacle, because of a loose fit which creates a gap between the two. If you work out a solution to that, it is a great grinder, especially for coarse ground French Press brew. You have to measure the amount of ground coffee to use, though. depending on brew method, and store any excess grounds. Final note: mine was not that quiet, rather noisy, compared to a Cuisinart, which I use far more regularly.

The cord is 28 inches long from the inside of the coffee maker cord storage to the plug tip.

I would recommend the Hario Skerton grinder - I have used it for several years and it works well for me. Hario Ceramic Coffee Mill Skerton Storage Capacity (100g)

Oh wow, I usually make 8 cups but I did make 12 for company two weeks ago. I didn't really pay attention. It was not any faster than my old coffee maker but I didn't think, "oh this is taking so long " I will try to time the brew and get Back to you. The whole unit, top to bottom is about 14 inches (could be 15). It is slightly shorter in the front ( the design slopes) . The carafe is 6 inches.

It's 5.25" .I use mix of Starbux or other strong coffee with Dunkin D or Gevallia (cheapest at Target ,below $6) both whole bean.The secret is to clean inside press,easily removable and with single wipe with napkin to wipe out .Best milk organic 2% or if don't want organic I use Aldi both whole and 2 % ,works very well. Filtered water. Love my DELONGHI(home used about 6 cups a day).Hope this help!

Hello BSJAAJK - it's really subjective ie... Size /volume of cup, beans used , grind, etc... Ex: I use 28g ground with a ceramic burr grinder to slightly coarser then sand and that yields aprox. 11 oz of coffee which fills my insulated travel mug.So experiment and see what suits you.Do yourself a favor a buy the Hario V60 Buono kettle and download the Intelligentsia Coffee brewing app too!Good Luck!

It can be a bit of a jolt to learn that espresso machines are about half the cost of great espresso. I use this Gaggia Classic. My Rancillio grinder cost more. Think it through, there are many bean types and freshness varies. Both effect grind. If you buy truely fresh roasted beans they should be ground slightly coarser, still quite fine, for first 4 or 5 days. Then less fresh they dry out a little and need slightly finer grind to control 22sec brew time. Store whole beans in really air tight containers, non refrigerated. The "art" of great espresso is how you grind it. That takes long experience. If you get a truely fresh roast and grind just right you cup will fill with 50% golden foam and it will taste a little sweeter. I still need a little sugar but never milk or foam. Starbucks has an advantage with their always fresh roasts. By the time you can "pull" a good single shot 2oz espresso you might agree with me, LOL. They still give me trouble........... Happy Trails
