How long does 1/2 pound of coffee last?

I only use 1-2 tablespoons twice a week so it lasts a while. You may also use ORGANIC coffee but a LIGHT roast.

The instructions say change after 10 uses, however I have a neighbor who has used the same one for 5 years!!! She rinses it out real well after each use, but her coffee takes 18-24 hours to filter through. She does a pound of Folgers in each batch. My husband has only done 3 batches, but he thinks the filter will last 30+ times. At $2.50 each, I wouldn't change it after only 10 batches, but we figure we will just play it by ear, for now. We use Starbucks beans, ground very coarsely and the taste is so much better using the Toddy Cold Brew System. Not bitter at all!!! Good luck and remember not to use soap on the filter.

This depends on how full the pot is. Completely full will keep the coffee very hot for 3 to 4 hours and fairly hot for 5 to 6 hours. We still drink the coffee at 8 hours when it is still hot, but will not burn your mouth. When the pot is opened and no longer full, it will cool down faster. We really like our pots.

Just got mine yesterday. Agree with weighing the coffee. I use 40g of French Roast for a liter of french press. Setting the timer to 6 and using the next to last setting, it ground the beans in about half that time. Turning the bean hopper to the no-grind position, the timer zipped right down to zero without running for the remaining time.

A 1.3 pound can will last you approximately 2 to 3 weeks. If you purchase the packets, it's for one serving.

It really does depend on the size of the mug you choose and the intensity...5-8 minutes is my best guess...I usually brew a half carafe...

Once you press it, pour the coffee out onto another container. Leave it in there for more than 12 hours and it will develop off flavors. That being said, if you have good quality beans you could re-brew for a second run using more water. Just remember to take the filter apart and clean it profusely between every press.

About 2 to 3 minutes depending on how fast you turn the crank. It takes me about 2.5 minutes to grind 3/8 cup of beans (what I use to make 32 oz in a French press).

I use 1tsp. When I'm making just a normal cup a tea or coffee, 1lb lasts me a really good while, if I'm not making pitchers of iced tea like in the summer time. I'm a frequent tea drinker, probably a good 3-5 cups a day and I feel it lasts me a good amount of time probably because the sugar are rock chunks I feel you get out of it, if that makes sense?

Technically, since there are no spoiling components, it never actually goes bad. The taste can begin to decline slightly around 6 - 12 months but it's nothing noticeable. It's only slightly weaker and the aroma isn't as strong. But this is due to how the aroma is reintroduced back into the jars of instant coffee.

Ahh. the magic question. Depends on how strong you like your coffee, how fine your grounds are, how long you let it steep, even the brand of coffee. Personally, I use a scale to measure both grounds and water. I use a ratio of 1.25 grams to 1 oz of water. I know is sounds complicated but with the kg/lb toggle button it is real easy. so for a 18oz cup of coffee, I put in 24g of grounds. I let mine steep for 5 minutes then pour it all out into my cup and/or thermos. This prevents bitterness and maintains the same flavor throughout the whole pot. That is my preference. My suggestion is to start with your preferred brand of coffee, ground course, and start with your usual measure of coffee and water you would put in your regular coffee maker. Then adjust up or down depending on what you get till you figure out your magic formula.

I ground a double espresso shot in a little under 2 minutes. That is around 14 g (1/2 oz), so you have to do the math for other brews (french press, drip etc).

The ground container usable part measures approx. 3.5 x 3.0 x 2.5 which holds approx. about 11 to 12 oz of ground coffee. I leave a 1 oz stainless steel measuring scoop in the container. The top container will take approx. a 1/4 lb of coffee beans. I have not tried it, but I think it will fill the ground container without putting more beans in.

The manual has recipes for 1 cup about half a pound, 3/4 of a pound should be fine but 1 maybe pushing it. I've never cooked more than a cup of navy beans and there is still room. I may be being conservative, this is perfect for smaller servings.

I played with it a while and when I found the right position for the coffee beans I used I left it there. It depends on the beans size but it is somewhere near the middle. One espresso should take about 6-7 seconds to the half cup.

The filters last for 5-10 pots as long as the coffee is ground to drip-percolator size. Smaller ground becomes trapped in the filter.

The expiration date is not as important as the ROASTING date. Usually coffee expires 2 months after it was roasted, the flavor just isnt the same. Not many roasters place the date of raosting on their bags. Usually, the best date to consume coffee is between day 1 and 10 after being roasted. Optimally if you can buy Whole Bean and grind it yourself; this promote optimum flavor.
