Quiet coffee makers?

[Variable]

Microwave is over the stove on the wall shared with the bedroom. That thing is damn near unpossible to open and close quietly. It probably transmits as much noise through that wall as the coffee maker. If not more. And it would get open and closed four times for just two cups of coffee.

I think you should soundproof the wall. It's the coffee pot now, it'll be something else next week. Mark my words!

You people 😂

Don’t blame us, it’s their black ancestors that sold out and got us hooked on the elixir. Whitey is the victim!

 

[barf]

I'm confused. Where's the racism?

Is it white people drinking coffee that black people created, or is it because black people created it FOR black people?

Your guess is as good as mine 🤷🏻‍♂️

Electric kettle is the first part of the answer, ours has no beeps and it’ll keep the water hot for as long as you want.

I find a french press a pain to clean, compressed grounds in the bottom that my wife just rinses down the drain.

I’d go pour over. It’s like your mr. Coffee, grounds in a filter, but you pour the hot water in. You can do as much fancy pouring as you want to “get the perfect cup” or you can just drizzle it in to get the grounds and filter damp, then dump in the rest.

You can either do this for each cup, or get a big one and run it into an insulated container like a thermos or yeti. Heck, run it into your mr. Coffee pot and turn it on to keep it warm if you like.

French press is a quiet option for brewing but you still have to grind the beans and I don't know a quiet way to do that. Maybe you should become the am geezer at Bojangles?

Grinding the beans is the biggest problem with these methods. It will make more noise than the coffee maker. I guess you could pre-grind it. Store ground stuff is done to run through a drip coffee maker and does not make a great cup with these methods in my experience. Then again @fieldgrade is drinking coffee from a Mr Coffee so it might be an improvement. 😂

This makes me glad that my wife has coffee ready for me if I sleep in.

Bunn is quiet because it keeps the coffee hot all of the time, right? Maybe that is just their commercial models.

Bunn is quiet because of the quality of their builds.

They're quick because they maintain a heated tank of water.

Once you pour in your water in the AM and close the lid, it flushes the hot water into the grounds and refills the tank with the recently poured water.

It is a manual design though, you cannot just fill and leave the lid open all night long but with the coffee being ready in less than 5 mins, it's quick enough.

hitler was just a normal artist until he drank ONE black coffee

It maintains a heavily insulated reservoir of hot water, at an ideal temperature of 195 F.

When you pour 'new' water in the top, gravity (the mass of the new water) pushes the already-hot water into the hopper, where you have fresh grounds in a paper liner.

No moving parts. The hot water immediately brews the coffee, and it goes into the waiting carafe.

The carafe does sit on a warming plate, but that isn't relevant to the brewing of course.

If you want 10 ozs and not a whole pot, you just pour 10 ozs in (adjust the coffee accordingly), and that's what you get out.
You want a whole fresh pot? Pour that much in.

Funny how simple this is.

"BBBut it draws power all day!" Yes, approximately $0.012 worth, at typical power rates. How much did you pay for the coffee?

 

[dmarbell]

Not really, if this is the process he is referring to.




.

Dammit! Now I have something else to waste time on.

By the way, I like my coffee like I like my women: Finely ground and stored in the freezer.

 

[Jeremy43]

get a Bunn you won't regret it

So yes. It is always on and hot. I didn't care about the on all day part. I just wanted to know if my memory served me correctly.

Yep: full pot of white vinegar, no coffee filter. When it is done, I pour it back in for a second run. Then follow that with a couple runs of water to rinse it and get the vinegar cleared out. It runs MUCH quieter after I do this.

I’m doing this first just to assuage my white, male, martian, guilt.

She swore to me this morning I wasn’t waking her up, because she was usually already awake. The woman doesn’t sleep well.

My wife sleeps horribly. I think part of it is post-menopausal/hormonal. I really feel bad for her.

@fieldgrade I'm happy to report the Ninja coffee pot doesn't make the steam /end of the line last drip of water puff and gurgle noise that awakens your lovely bride.....it does however beep to signal the coffee is ready!

Cut its beeper off and every will be OK.

 

[fieldgrade]

Ran two small pots of white vinegar through. I think the coffee maker took that as a challenge.

 

[RetiredUSNChief]

Have you tried duct tape on your coffee maker?

 

[RedneckFur]

Try a Melita pour-over maker. They don't make a sound, provided you can boil water without waking up the house in the process.

Simple, easy, and make far better tasting coffee than most machines do.

Pour over is better.

 

[ChickenHawk]

We all know you aren't going to get a different coffee maker because you're a cantankerous old man that doesn't like change. 😃

I like heating to 205 to get better extraction but 195 is in the right zone. Too many home coffee makers are in the 180s.

 

[Get Off My Lawn]

You folks helped me add something to the list of stuff to screen for when I buy my next house.

My wife sleeps horribly, fiber myalgia doesn’t allow her to get REM sleep and any sound wakes her up. When building the last few homes I had the bedroom walls, floor when there was a basement, ceiling when there was an upstairs, insulated.
@fieldgrade there might be a way for an insulation company to foam the kitchen/bedroom wall. Then get one of those stuffed sound thingies for under the door.
Like these

Heat tab, canteen cup, coffee packet

 

[JohnFreeman]

my four cup basic Mr. Coffee makes a lotta racket in a quiet house towards the end of the brewing cycle.

It's like they'll need a cigarette after the brewing cycle.


I think they all make this kinda noise.

 

[Lager]

Give her Benedryl before bed. 😁

I give mine a melatonin....Mine used to wake up if I even breathed wrong and would be all mean and cranky.. I started drugging her at night saying it was a vitamin. She would then sleep all thru the night. Told her a week later, she now takes it all by herself.

This mornings silent cup is a Vietnamese Wet Hulled variety. Chocolate notes, complex acidity that is a bit earthy with an elegant finish.

 

[Chris.]

Just move the coffee maker to your office despite what she says. Like most wives, she will likely get over it eventually and just find something else to be unhappy about

 

[DrScaryGuy]

if i was work from home or retired, i'd prob get a bunn. my aunt/uncle have one and it is amazing stopping by there. "would you like a coffee?" 3 minutes later and we all have fresh hot mugs
I do 3 BIG cups of aeropress on my days off, so the bunn convenience would be nice for my... approx half gallon a day habit... and i'm due for one now.

 

[yard mongrel]

Personally, I would beat galvanized trash can lids together at 4:00AM. After that, my 5:00AM percolator wouldn't seem too bad.
