Pods, the fastest growing method today, are often purchased as pre-made, warehoused stock. Oregon Coffee Roaster offers pods filled with fresh roasted coffee in regular, decaf and flavored varieties. You can order our bulk coffee in a fine drip grind, specifically for your re-fillable pod to keep it extra fresh!
The water in a percolator is repeatedly poured over the ground coffee, picking up more flavor each time. Because the coffee is repeatedly exposed to the liquid, a coarse grind is required, exposing less surface area of the beans.
This reduces the bitterness associated with percolated coffee. Coffee ground for a percolator barely holds an impression and feels gritty in the hand. It leaves little or no residue when brushed away.
Using the correct ratio of coffee to water is essential for a good cup. Start with one ounce of freshly ground dry coffee for every 24 ounces of water. If you prefer your coffee lighter, adding hot water to the completed brew will give you a better cup than using less coffee for the batch.
