RE: Using Coffee Grounds More Than Once
I'm not sure about using grounds more than once, but I do know that you should grind your own beans (at home or at the store) and grind them much finer than pre-ground coffee and you'll need way less for a great, stronger cup of Joe. A Dutchman showed me that 20 years ago.

Unless you're a coffee snob, adding one half of the amount of coffee grounds for a second pot is just fine ;-) The taste difference is so minimal that it's worth the savings in money :-)

RE: Using Coffee Grounds More Than Once
I always use my coffee grinds more than once. The first pot is 2 scoops & for the next ones I add 1 scoop until the filter is full. I just don't like strong coffee. It taste ok to me.

RE: Using Coffee Grounds More Than Once
Around here we call that Irish Coffee : ) as my older relatives love to reuse the grounds. I am Irish too, but I have never developed the taste for reusing the grounds. I think a reallg good cup of coffee requires fresh coffee grounds. It is one of my few indulgences. I think I will go get a cupt of hazlenut now!

RE: Using Coffee Grounds More Than Once
I agree with kidsNclutter but also a cone filter uses less grounds and makes stronger coffee, esp if you manually, very very slowly, pour the water in, a little at a time. We use a manual Melitta coffee pot/filter we buy at Amazon. We get good tasting coffee and use very little coffee, two small scoops per pot. The slower the water is poured, the better. Most coffee makers let the water through too quickly, so you need to use more coffee.

In a drip coffeemaker: We re-use the grounds on the same day/morning. Add about half the usual amount of fresh grounds to the used grounds to get a second full pot of coffee. Fill water to the normal amount & brew. It is satisfactory for us. Rumor has it some churches & other social gathering places do this also.

RE: Using Coffee Grounds More Than Once
I tried that way back, when coffee went sky high and everyone was talking about doing it.
None of the methods suggested gave anywhere near satisfactory results.
I would rather drink less coffee and have it decent.
