I ground enough Lavazza Crema e Gusto beans for eight standard coffee scoop spoons. I put four scoops in a paper filter in my four cup Mr. Coffee. I put 16 oz of cold tap water in Mr.Coffee's water reservoir. I also heated 16 oz of cold tap water in my Hamilton Beach hot pot and put four scoops of the freshly ground coffee in my Bodum pour through filter.Both had the same grounds and quantity. Same water.Could I tell the difference in taste, provided that I didn't allow the coffee brewed via Mr.Coffee to sit on its heated base post brew?And the answer is: Yes. I believe the heated water from the hot pot extracted more flavor from the ground coffee. However, if someone handed me a cup of each and didn't tell me which was made by which method, I honestly wouldn't know.Clean-up...Mr.Coffee wins, dump the grounds in the paper filter,,,done Bodum...dump the grounds, clean the filter and the carafe</blockquote>
