Why does the Coffee tastes burned and weak?

Bill: My coffee never tasted burned/weak but I am fussy & only purchase Colombia coffee. But...to get the darn thing to brew. The company replaced my 1st one W/free 2nd one but 4 months later..it crashed. My hubby told me to call Calphalon company again. I said.."no way...don't want another one in my house." Early July I paid $110. for a BUNN. I think the Calphalon co. has serious problems & I'd recall them. Tell them your problem. They were very nice on the phone. I get angry for what items cost. We consumers consume & the product does not hold up. Good luck. L.D.

Read the one star reviews here and take your coffeemaker back for a refund. This product is junk!

Wow... what kind of coffee do you use? I have never had that problem but I only make enough coffee to drink at the moment. I know the heating plate on the unit keeps the coffee hot, so if the coffee is just sitting there for a long while then the water will evaporates and the coffee will start to get a burnt overcooked taste but it does not get weak. I have not had a problem with my unit and even gave one out as a present... and that one is working fine.

I noticed the same thing. I'm not sure why this is, but the best I could figure is the filtration basket , and disc are not good. I threw this make away and just bought another brand & the coffee tastes fine again. Never changed the amount.

Return it, I returned mine because it made the coffee taste funny and did not keep the coffee hot.

The quality of the coffee may have to do with the quality of the City water from the faucet. I would suggest using bottled water.

To make it stronger, increase the dose- right knob in coffee bin and or increase grind- left knob.I don't know how to make the coffee hotter.

I have had my coffeemaker for less than a week, but I am about to "unload" it because not only does the smell cause me to check for "something burning" each time I make coffee, but the coffee bears NO taste of coffee, but rather of hot plastic. I CAN'T STAND IT!

It didn't brew well at all. Used more ground coffee and brewed over 10 min and still didn't taste like coffee.

We returned the Mr. Coffee coffee maker because it made weak coffee. It is due to the basket the coffee drips through. A V shaped cone is much more efficient so we bought a Bonavita BV1800TH 8-Cup Coffee Maker with Thermal Carafe instead.

I agree that the coffee is not really hot enough. The solution is to heat the pot with hot tap water or even a hot spot before starting the coffee. However, this doesn't work if you put the coffee together the night before and want to simply push start in the morning. Than being said, slightly cooler coffee beats old and burnt any day.

The only thing I can think of is that you my be using too much coffee or the holes in the bottom of the filter might be some how obstructed or not properly made at the factory. There is a good instructional video on you tube that I recommend watching. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DwPGkq8SFE There might me something helpful to you in the video. This is how I learned to do it.

Yes. It is tasteless. I wouldn't reheat coffee due to the oils in the coffee degrading.

You Meyer have packed the coffee too tightly. When you pack th coffee just tamp it slightly after a few times you will get the hang of it

Do use more coffee grounds than suggested on the package. Also, if you still have your old coffee maker try that too. The newness of the coffee pot may also affect the taste.

Try running it without any coffee. What does the water alone taste like? If its brand new, then run it through with water (only) a few times, including steaming.

Maybe if some type of a filter is used. From the very beginning of using my product I noticed that the. Appliance doesn't keep the coffee as hot, like if the heating element is not working right.

The coffee is hot when brewed but after five or so minutes sitting on the warmer, it is not as hot. I usually nuke my second cup.

It will be too weak, coffee made using Aroma AEM 621SS is not strong at all.
