[FRIAM] Wimsical silly question re: coffee making

[Nick Thompson]

Gil,

 

An experiment: lightly wet the grounds with water before you put the basket in the coffee-maker.  Notice how much water you can “get in”.  Now, put the damp basket  in the coffee maker and make the coffee as usual.  Are you still missing some water?

Gillian, all of the initial water is boiled, so some of the steam escapes from the coffeemaker, and some of the rest is in the wet grounds in the filter basket.  There may well be something else happening, but this accounts for some of it.

What on earth happens to some of the coffe when I make it drop style? I prepare 6-8 cups so as if someone stops by they can have a bit as well.

But then it only gives a bit over 4-5 cups.

 

Does some invisible dwarf drink a bit of it before it gets to the Kareff(sp)? oO

 

I am genuinly perplexed by this.^_^
