coffee pot...

Do modern coffee pots distill the water before it gets up into the coffee grounds
(ie, Braun, Mr. Coffee, B&D..)? I wondered about this and thought what the quality of the water going in would matter, tap or bottled?

some of the commercial ones come with an optional filter that goes inline with the water supply.

most of the ones you have to fill manually have a filter, but it's not that good. it takes out large particles but the minerals still get inside, you have to clean the coffee maker with the vinegar process every few months.

That is a no.
Filtered water yes for some, but not distilled that I have ever seen.

It would take too long to process. Once you evaporate the water into steam, you then have to cool/condense it back into water. This would take too long to make a pot of coffee...


But I like the way you think...

Yeah, I just didnt get the way the water makes it up to the filter and it steams like a demon once its done. Makes some rhythmic gurgly sounds too. You can hear the thermo relay kick in when there is no more water in the well. Wait, youtube has everything! Simply boiling water over a heating element past a ball check valve. Water heats up and expands out the open end over the grounds, then backfills with reservoir water and starts again.
