does this machine make a strong full bodied coffee

Unfortunately, the Nescafe Dolce Gusto delivers a cup of coffee on par with instant coffee. The richest (1/2) cup comes from the Cortado. The Cappuccino, the Espresso Macchiato, and Chococino are weak excuses for coffee. Convenience in serving and cleanup are all that you're getting with the Nescafe Dolce Gusto... and stay away from the Matcha Green Tea Latte; it's horrid! The Reusable Capsules are a HUGE mess requiring a funnel.

Haven't tried regular coffee with this machine yet but I would get the Dallmayr Prodomo capsules for it! Been drinking the cappuccino and I really love it.

Yes as longas you get a full body coffee.it is the best coffee that I have had.

no! I use VERY fine ground coffee (I like it strong) and the strong brew setting for 6 six 3-4 minutes max. 13 minutes crazy!

If it can, I haven't figured it out yet. I like my coffee strong, so I just buy the extra dark cups. Buy the breakfast blend cups or the blond or light ones. Also, if you brew a larger size cup with a lighter blend of coffee, it will turn out weaker. Like say a 10 or 12 oz cup instead of an 8 oz. Keep in mind Keurig is raising the price of all coffee by 9%.

I like strong coffee. I fill the water up to the 2-cup mark and add about 2 1/4 or so tablespoons of coffee. I do let it perk for a long time, so perhaps I could use a bit less coffee.

Not that I know of. You may need to adjust the amount of coffee you use. we like strong coffee and find the grind just over medium good for a drip style coffee maker

I too like strong bot coffee For strength, add a little extra. Coffee does stay hot in the 45 minutes it takes for me to drink 2 big mugs . It is a cheap machine, bit works well if you are not looking for any featured, metal pot helps, but is thin. Will use this tip it breaks. Then buy something better

Yes, and there is a good video on youtube. In Italy they pore the brewed coffee and the frothed milk at the same time, then spoon the foam on top.But it's really up to you how strong you like it. you will find your sweet spot. I love my machine. And the price was right, thou if I was rich (very rich) I would get a fancy one with an Eagle on top. One note: to clean the grounds underneath, run water thru the brew cycle into an empty cup. Cleans it for the next day.

We'll if you put enough coffee grounds in it it makes strong coffee :-). It makes extraordinarily hot coffee which I like and I like my coffee a strong. I really like the coffee pot

Never tried it before I sent it back but usually when you do that the coffee is too strong until all the water goes through and it balances out

I have taken a k-cup apart and put the grounds into one of these filters and it did not fill it. I love strong coffee and fill the filter all the way up and lightly pack it down with my hand then brew it on the 10oz cup size. I get a great strong cup of coffee. My whole family uses these filters.

I purchased this for my father who drinks a lot of coffee. He is quite happy with this machine. Wish I could give you a better answer than that.

No it does not Dan. The coffee is brewed all at the same time. If you make one cup or eight cups you would have the same taste every time. To have stronger or weaker coffee would be determined by the amount of grounds you use.

yes. And it is a fine machine. I've had a few and this machine is the best I've had so far. Buy it you wont be disappointed. It's very strong, almost too powerful.

Yes. If you read the numerous reviews you'll see that they're mostly positive. I've had this for many months and love it. For the price you can't find a better dual coffee and espresso machine.

I use French roast coffee beans and it is plenty strong. It probably depends on the type of beans and the amount of water you use. It is easy to make it to your taste.

You only need a tamper if you are making espresso. This machine is NOT espresso machine. However, it makes fantastic strong coffee.

I don't think the strength of the coffee is determined so much by the brewer as the coffee used. A dark roasted coffee used in the correct ratio to coffee and water should brew a rich, dark cup of coffee. That's my experience. I really like my little coffeemaker! It works very well.
