- Oh, that reminds me, I *did* measure the water temperature on our
- Braun 800 (I think that's the number...also from Price Club :-) and
- you'll be happy to hear that it came out at very nearly exactly 180F.
-
- (A slight extrapolation, because the unit is fairly well closed up
- when operating...I measured the water trapped in the filter area with
- the pause feature engaged after allowing it to warm up a
- bit...temperature was 175F according to the pre-warmed candy
- thermometer. Since it was down to 165F by the time it got to the pot,
- I suspect it normally hits the grounds at damn near 180F).
-
- Funny, though, the one I bought came with a small pack of about 10
- filters.
