How does using very cold water in coffeemaker make the coffee taste better?

Here's my guess: If you are using an automatic drip coffeemaker, starting with cold water will increase the time it takes to boil all the water in the reservoir and therefore extend the time that the hot water is dripping through the grounds and brewing the coffee. The longer brewing time does a better job of extracting the flavor from the grounds. I have timed my coffeemaker (a Mr. Coffee 4-cup) and have found that it takes roughly 5 minutes starting with refrigerated water, and about 4 minutes of brewing time starting with room-temperature water. I like the taste of the former better, so I have been making my coffee by starting with refrigerated water for years now. With other styles of coffeemakers where a preheated batch of hot water is poured over the grounds, I don't think starting with cold water would matter.

∙ 13y agoMuch of Plumbing is done using copper pipes. When you use the hot water some of that copper will end up in the water. While not ecatly poisonous, copper isn't good for you. Cold water doesn't dissolve copper as much, so it's a better choice.
The above is totally false..copper is natural and less then .005% of the population is allergic to copper ,the real reasoning behind NOT using hot water from a storage tank is as follows1- The domestic heaters store water wel below the 140+ degrees F required to kill water borne bacteria.. Commercial water heaters are capable of producing 160 deg wash and 180 deg in lieu of chemicals for sterilization
When in doubt ask a Licensed Master Plumber

How do you set timer on Frigidaire stove?
Setting the Timer of Coffee Maker Locate the Program button-if you've been using your Gevalia coffee maker successfully, you probably know where it is. If this is your first time, it should be near the digital display. Press that button, and the display should now read, "Prog." You are now ready to begin programming the machine. Press in the time that you wish the coffeemaker to start: this is done by using the buttons which set the time: "Min" will control the minutes, and "Hr" or "Hour" will control the hour. Using these buttons to fine-tune the screen, you should now have the time you wish the coffeemaker to start. Add coffee grounds, and water to the pot, but be sure not to press the "On" button just yet; the coffee maker will come on once the timer triggers coffeemaking: putting the coffee machine on before then will brew the coffee instantly. Don't forget to add the coffee and water, as this can result in harm coming to the machine, or even a small fire. When all this is done, you should have a small Auto light appear on the pot, indicating that the coffeemaker is ready to start brewing the coffee as soon as the right time is reached.

You need a device that grinds things. The best way to do this is to have a coffee grinder that uses burrs, though you could get by in a pinch with a coffee grinder with blades or even using a mortar-and-pestle. Just don't expect the coffee to taste good if you use the latter two methods.
