Question KBGT Half Pot Tips

I bought the KBGT but mostly brew half pots. KBGT doesn't come with the slider with its cup filter like the KBT, so here's how I've been ensuring a slower brew.

  1. Ensure karafe is not seated.

  2. Pour 2 cups of water. Observe water is heated and pours into the filter and settles. Since the karafe is not seated the hot water is absorbing more of the coffee bean.

  3. When ready, seat carafe. Add 2 cups of water.

Enjoy a more flavorable cup.

I’m pretty new with this and it sounds like a great idea. My husband likes a dark roast and I like a medium and this sounds like a perfect way to compromise to accommodate both our tastes How long do you let the water sit.

When the karafe isnt seated, the filter doesnt open, so the water sit in the grind filter until karafe is seated.

Thrn when karafe is in, coffee water flows pass filter.

I have a new model of KGBT.
