Where does the water go?!
Where does the water go?
I measure 8 cups of water and pour it into my coffee maker. It then produces about 6 cups of coffee. I don't think that much water evaporates in such a short time. Where does it go?
Answers:
The coffee sucks it up. LOL
It really does evaporate, doofus. Or the coffee elves take their cut. Which do you think is most likely?
Are the coffee grounds in the hopper completely dry? Helloooooo
Actually, it does evaporate in a short time.
what doesnt evaporate is held in the grounds- notice how wet and heavy they are wet you throw out the used filter?
With the missing socks from the clothes drier.
coffee gremlins
The grounds soak it up.
The water does evaporate and it also remains in the grounds. You can collect some of the water in a towel if you place it over the coffee maker when you make a pot.
Check those coffee grounds and the filter,they absorb lots of water,and do you see steam escaping about the time the coffee finishes brewing ?
It's probably a combination of some evaporating, some staying in the coffee grounds. Maybe your measuring cup and the measuring cup on the coffee pot aren't completely accurate. I've had this problem with baby bottles.
it evaporate
absorbed in the grounds and eveaporation
It's retained in the coffee ground.

When making coffee in a coffee maker, the water is absorbed into the dry coffee beans. The measurement of the coffee maker might not be exact. For the most part, the missing water is usually found in the dry coffee grains that become soaked (IT TAKES WATER TO DO IT ).
In the air
Well some of the water evaporates into the air, and the other part of the missing water is saturated in the coffee grinds and the filter.
in the coffee grounds
