Like millions of Americans that need a boost in the morning to start their day, so do I.
I use a cone to brew my coffee. It’s one of the fastest, freshest and economical ways to brew it.
I’ve noticed that some filters produce a small stream or only a drip like the one below. I decided to fix that. Here’s how I accomplish it. I drilled to small pilot holes on each side of the center hole.
I then drilled them out with a 15/64” bit from the inside. Smaller bits can be used.
Here I’m filling off the small burrs with a small round file.
I works great and takes less than half the time to brew. Some will say grind the coffee larger. What if you don’t have a grinder and buy it pre ground?
Some will probably say it’s brewing to fast. I have 3 of these cones and tested different size holes and this size works the best for me and it doesn’t taste like the paper filter.
I know there’s a Curmudgeon alway lurking on this site that’s going to say this isn’t a wood project! Let me stop you there negative Ned, look at the 3rd and 4th photos up, you’ll see I’m using a piece of wood as a sacrificial piece to protect my table.
Trust me it really works. Why wouldn’t you trust a guy with a name like Dr. Quackner.
This is my prescription for a tasty and quick cup of Joe. 😊
lucky i save all my pm's. this was sent to drquakner 19 days ago, not to james. but what your lying about is you and james macintyre are the same person. you changed your sign on to quackner when rich exposed you for doing the same thing on LJ'S. you need to pick a name and stick with it. i see youve changed your avatar again too !

I changed the lead thumb nail photo for those who expressed Ophidiophobia.
Again I’ll like to thank all those who posted kind comments. I think there was one. I never though a coffee cone fix would attract so interest! 😃 My cat doesn’t like snakes either or Christmas trees. Or maybe she likes them to much. I had to explain to here it’s not a cat tree.
On another note I noticed on my home page that I had 1 follower. Then I saw who it was. Jeez Louise! It’s Pottz! Get off my lawn! 😊
Thanks for you comment Bently. Your probably a good guy. When your face to face with the person.
An no you didn’t go over my head. I know exactly what you meant. I’m very disappointed in you.
Bently don’t be the guy that jumps into a bar fight without knowing the history or the reasons why this activity is happening. I never said a discouraging word to or about you.
Do you think I should tell you to get off my lawn until you stop 💩 on it?
hey i just thought you should have at least 1 follower ! like the old saying, keep your friends close and your enemies closer. and as far as snakes i dont fear em, i just cut their heads off 🤣

Thanks for the comments Corelz125 and Pottz. At least I’m generating comments. Your probably 2 nice guys or Wild and crazy Guys when you face to face with the person.
I was wondering if you 2 could give my marvelous project a couple likes and tell all your friends about it.
I was looking on line and there are actually comments stating. “Why is my coffee drip cone so slow. Maybe Martin can post this on line to help these people with their pokey coffee cones.
Again thanks for all the attention and spicy comments.
And Pottz there’ll be no cutting heads off here. And why do you cut off snakes heads.
Corelz125. If you don’t know your history especially the bad parts your bound to repeat you mistakes.
I’ll be looking forward to more of you kind and generous comments.
i like to think we are, and so is bentley. if your willing to be true to us all will be good ! this is a great forum with some of the most talented woodworkers you'll find anywhere. we'd love you to be a part of it. thats up to you ?

You can similarly increase the flow through your pour-over cone by either reducing the amount of grounds or grinding the beans coarser. Any way you can increase space the water can flow through unimpeded will accomplish a faster drip. As someone pointed out earlier though, any increase in the flow rate of the water is a decrease in the contact time it has with the coffee and will therefore affect the flavor and acidity of the coffee. So there is a balance to be found. If your modification has resulted in a cup of coffee you enjoy and in you getting it in an acceptable period of time, then it's the proper solution :-)
It's under the "woodworking" projects section. You should of posted it in the blog section. Posting private messages in the comments is the wrong way to get comments.
What’s with you guys calling me J. Mcintyre He ask Martin if I could sign up for Craftisian using his computer. Here Martins reply.
Now that that’s put to bed, I would like you guys to say something positive about my fabulous project. And a few likes would be nice.
Pottz I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions and make a few observations I’ve made of you here?
Hay guys I was wondering if you can give this project a like. It would really mean a lot to me. It’s all ready on the net. You can find it under its title.
Bently the way your behaving I did think you didn’t know the history. Can you state any negative things I said about you that caused these attacks on me?
If you are ashamed of your words don’t say or write them. I have a lot more nasty messages form you guys. You can scroll up to view a few of them.
Steve I spoke to James and he’s not banned on LJ’s. You should go visit him and say hi.
I never said a discouraging remark about any of you. You have to remember if you post mean things here they’ll be here forever.
Thanks again for all your support and sage advice. I take I under advisement. Keep them coming.
