It couldn't be hard to put markings of
time on a coffee pot next to the cup
markings so you can have an
accurate time of when it is going to
get done.
It would be slightly distorted after
the first cup because there is the
whole soak factor but as an average
mug of coffee goes I'm
sure it would
take a minute of coffee time.
To do this you will need the evenly
filled coffee bags or one screen mesh
coffee chamber filled to the correct
amount.
When the weight of the pot approx.
equals with what was in the water
chamber the coffee pot will beep.
Imagine timing your eggs or
breakfast food with your coffee or
tea.

(_!_) It's a coffee pot with a countdown scale on the side. As the coffee pot fills, the level of the coffee indicates how much longer it will be until the pot is completely brewed. |
|
| |
The evenly filled coffee bags are required to ensure standards compliance for an ISO pot of coffee (somebody post that). |
|
| |
When the pot is full, the coffee machine beeps.
/(_!_) |
|
| |
Yeah, but that'll kill your *extra* breaktime. |
|
| |
But a watched boil will never pop. |
|
| |
For example you can pour 4
minutes worth of coffee into the
pot and measure your eggs by it
or you can measure your eggs by
the minute markers as the pot fills
up fully. Either way the coffee pot
beeps when it is done. |
|
| |
But you can already tell when the coffee's done 'cos it's in the pot at the bottom. Duh! Doesn't need a beeping thing to tell you when it's ready, just look with your eyes. |
|

Given any traditional coffee machine, you could perform a calibration run. Using your stopwatch you could then mark the jug showing the fill-level at each 1-minute interval. Then whenever you needed to time stuff later you could use the markings to indicate elapsed time since brewing-start. Then you wouldn't need to measure pot-weight etc. |

Good one, Overpanic. Very good. |

I don't get the need for this. My home coffee pot:
a) has a clock on it, if the point is to measure time
b) has a pause-and-serve feature, if the point is to know when you can get coffee
c) beeps when it's finished brewing |
|

Yes, there is no real need. It's like
an hour glass with coffee grounds
in the middle. When the water is
all at the bottom you have a
certain time measured and bonus
you drink the coffee. |
|

AAAAH -- I liked the idea to beging with, but its even better that I now understand at least a little more. |
|
| |
It’s like an hour glass with coffee grounds in the middle and hot water instead of sand, and it doesn’t have an hourglass figure. |
|
| |
Works great for soft-boiled eggs, but last time I made spaghetti I had to drink about a gallon of coffee with it. |

Me too, isn't that great? |
|

It'd be cool if it was just like an hourglass, and used two identical urns, one upside down. Fill the bottom one with water, fill the two-sided filter apparatus in the centre with grounds, and when the whole thing was inverted it heat the water as it passed through the filter. Flip and repeat. Must admit it sounds a little fragile though. Plus sneaking a premature cup would be tricky. |
|
| |
Obviously this would apply to those of us who don't stand there staring at the coffeemaker anyway, poised to grab said c. the moment it's ready. |

Nearly 20 years later and not one croissant or
bone. I find that a bit sad, so here's a crumb for
effort [+]..... and they're a halfbakery moderator.
Come back and post some ideas instead of skulking
in the swamps! |
