Hey all,
I just wanted to say that I am VERY pleased that I have discovered using the filtercone-holder setup.
Here's my process:
After I pre-measure the water in my kettle, i put it on HIGH on the stove....then:
a) Prewarm mug in microwave (with water in the mug) b) Place filter in the filterholder, and pour the hot water from the pre-warmed mug to soak the filter, and warm the holder. c) Grind my fresh beans - I like to do it a bit finer than traditional 'drip' setting. d) Use 2 heaping tablespoons per 8 ounces per 1 cup), and place in the filter. e) When the water is boiling, take it off the stove, and pour about 2 tablespoons of hot water in the the grinds. Allow this to bloom for about 20 seconds or so - stirring the whole time f) Pour the rest of the water in the filter and stir until it's gone! (there's usualy a few teaspoons of water that won't go through the filter - that's fine with me.
Needless to say, this process gives me some of the freshest, best tasting coffee that I have ever had - and that can be made, for that matter....
Thanks,
Matt!
P.S. This method allows me to get away with using a blade grinder P.S. The filterholder was only $3.50!

I have recently discovered that I like it better if I don't stir after the "blooming" process. Also, I like it better the hotter the water. I pour right after the boiling noise goes away -- probably around 205 - 208 F.
