Correct coffee recipe for kitchen stove?

[blueshift1980]

I got coffee to come out right on the ball grill once, but I haven't been able to since on that or the kitchen stove.

Yesterday, I filled the coffee pan all the way with water, dumped in coffee grounds until they stopped coming out, and put it on the stove at full power for ~6 minutes. It came out more like water and did not reduce fatigue.

Any tips?

Coffee graph
A graph demonstrating the correlation between the coffee and water amounts.

The maximum amount of coffee that can be brewed is based on how slowly the water is evaporated in relation to how fast the coffee level increases. The amount of coffee inside the pan can only ever be as much as the amount of water inside the pan; this means that once the amount of coffee and water are the same, the water evaporation rate also affects the amount of coffee.

The graph to the right shows that after about six minutes the coffee level starts decreasing with the water level, as all of the water has become coffee; this is the optimal time to take the pan off from the grill. The coffee grind level also follows a decreasing linear pattern, and at 6:02 minutes, the point of intersection, the coffee grind level has gone from 26 to ~9.7 and will continue to decrease alongside the amount of coffee if the pan is left on the grill after this point.

Brewing the coffee with flames instead of embers is recommended as brewing with embers slows down coffee production, but does not slow down water evaporation; this means that the amount of water in the pan will be lower than when brewing with flames when the coffee level reaches the water level; that is, there will be less coffee. Brewing with embers does use slightly less coffee grounds, but takes considerably longer.

A full pan of optimally brewed coffee will contain ~1.8191 litres of coffee, which is 90.96% of the pan's total capacity (9.04% of the water, 180.9 millilitres, is evaporated during the brewing process). This amounts to ~6.06 cups of coffee, as the volume of the cup is 300 millilitres.

The stove can also be used to brew coffee; different cooktop settings take increasing amounts of time to become fully heated, setting 6 taking the longest (four minutes). The cooktop settings are as follows:

Setting 1 - No coffee production
Setting 2 - Equivalent to using embers
Settings 3-5 - Midpoints between embers and flames
Setting 6 - Equivalent to using flames
The optimal brewing time is 6:02 minutes (361.8181818181818 seconds, real time) when using flames/stove setting 6, or 8:39 minutes (519.1304347826132 seconds, real time again) when using embers/stove setting 2. Here are some differences between brewing on a flame and brewing on embers:

Flames - 2.7 coffee grounds used per minute (0.045/s), 0.3 coffee generated per minute (0.005/s), and 0.03 water used per minute (0.0005/s).
Embers - 1.8 coffee grounds used per minute (0.03/s), 0.2 coffee generated per minute (0.0033/s, repeating of course), and 0.03 water used per minute (0.0005/s).
The following equations are used to calculate the horizontal point of intersection of the water and coffee levels of the pan in seconds, which is the time at which the maximum amount of coffee is present in the pan.

Brewing in flames or on a fully heated cooktop:

0.01 + 0.005x = 2 - 0.0005x (coffee production = water evaporation)
0.0005x + 0.005x = 2 - 0.01
0.0055x = 1.99
x = 361.8181818181818
Brewing on embers or on a cooktop using heat setting 2:

0.01 + 0.00333333333333333x = 2 - 0.0005x (coffee production = water evaporation)
0.0005x + 0.00333333333333333x = 2 - 0.01
0.0038333333333333x = 1.99
x = 519.1304347826132

Fill with water and coffee grounds all the way, make sure the stove is set to 6 and not 1, place the kettle on the correct hot plate and let it brew for 6:02.

So basically the coffee has to brew for 6 game hours?

...why would it be hours? lol

6 real minutes.

6 minutes, there's the number I was looking for. 6 minutes IRL. I assume the kettle makes a noise when done? Someone need to update the wiki, to include that to the recipe. I'm afraid to leave the kitchen with the stove on but it was taking forever.

It doesn't make a noise (at least not in my game). If you hold it on the stove for too long it will boil all of its contents and probably it will burn (I once experienced that, smoke detector went off and I managed to throw heated kettle under the tap just in time to save the house).

i just found out the stove had operation stove now, do i turn left by one for max heat or do i turn right by one for max heat?

Turn to where the number 6 is.
