70% Efficiency

I can't figure it out. I'm only getting 70% maybe a hair less efficiency on my office Coffee pot. In case you can help, I am using the white filters not the unbleached ones and I grind the beans to about medium fine. Oh I only use bottled water as well. What am I doing wrong?

Edit: Its an electric Proctor and Silex rig w/ autotimer, and plastic Sparge Arm

 

Yep I am way off. I just checked "How To Brew" by Gerry G. Starbuck,,,Chapt.2 page 43 Para 1(V)3 and my efficiency should be at 93.7463%. Damn!

 

I used the search function but I cant find a thread with schematics for bypassing the autoshutoff and wiring in a Love controller. Oh man this is bad,,,Should I dump the pot?

 

No sir,,,can't be the grinder,,,I went to Gerry G.'s last conference "Industry Secrets: The Grind and You" and I set the head space and timing on that bad boy exactly how he said to,,,plus I am already Runnning the Titanium alloy Thelman wire to the conifilator valve. I was looking into those gold filters but those bad boys are like $14 bucks a piece,,,so to get the most buck for the bang,,I am gonna run a pre-pre warmer to a pre warmer and then to the pot itself with 3 love controllers and plumbin it with half inch S/S pipe with three piece ball valves and camlocks. Oh by the way Gerry G. autographed my coffee cup (I got so excited i peed myself a little)

 

Oh to answer your question,,,,the one that you asked before,,,,,NO

 

I read on the internet that columbian beans taste like grapefruit. I want to brew coffe that tastes like grapefruit.

 

Grapefruit Coffee is toooo easy. My buddy who got a third place in a local competition told me the trick was instead of roasting the Coffee beans lay them out on a papertowel in a single layer and then put them in the microwave and push the Poptart button. He must be right he got third place.

 

Either this, or sharpen your grinder blades the same way you'd sharpen your lawnmower blades. I've found a rotary grinder works best.

 

Whats with all the commas?

 

I hear that Flux-Capacitors are a huge help

 

Maybe you need to add some rice hulls to your grounds.

 

Rice Hulls!!!! You are a genius! Thanks a ton.
