QuestionIf you brew 1-2 cups, does the coffee taste as good?
Asked 6 years ago by Marilyn.
- Answer The machine starts at 4 cups which is 20oz. When I brew this amount the resulting brew is a little under extracted due to brew time being shorter. In these cases, I will make the grind finer to extract a little more. You will have to play with your grind for your own tastes. Per manufacturer, “optimal” settings on the machine is 7 cups(35oz) with a medium grind.

QuestionIs the water measured and timed like it would be for a handmade pourover? For instance, does it do a 45s bloom?
Asked 6 years ago by JW89.
- Answer The water is measured but I wouldn't say it's timed. It basically boils whatever amount of water you put in it, and drips the water out over the coffee like a very slow pour over. It's only an on/off function so all control is with the amount of water and coffee you use. But it's lovely to watch the water bubble up and the drip shower, and it makes a great cup or 8 of coffee.

QuestionI have always loved my brim coffee pot. So disappointing now that it makes terrible smelling coffee. I have done the vinegar cleaning and it still smells terrible. I made a single cup of pour over coffee, no bad smell. Bad plastic??

QuestionI do not have a grinder. When ordering coffee, would I choose manual drip or auto drip? I am guessing auto drip is for the other style coffee makers, and this is more of a manual drip model since it simulates the pour over method.

- Answer Hello, thanks for reaching out. It is auto drip. Have a nice day. The BRIM Team.

Questionwhat is the difference between a drip coffeemaker and this one which is a "pour over?"
Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Hello, thanks for reaching out. Standard Drip coffee makers does not adhere to the specialty coffee association brewing standards for a gold cup standard of coffee. Brim pour over passes the rigorous SCA testing protocols for a gold cup standard of coffee and is approved by the association. Hope this helps. Have a great day. The BRIM Team.
