does it brew strong coffee

This model does not have an additional feature to choose light to dark coffee. Your best option is to purchase a coffee that is made to brew strong, or simply add more coffee than normal to boost the strength!

Of course! I live in New Orleans and definately don't drink weak brew. The amount (and kind) of coffee you add to the basket, plus the amount of water you pour in dictates the strength of the brew.

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.

I don't drink coffee, so couldn't say. My husband does, and he has not complained about difference in strength from other coffeemakers. He seems very satisfied with this model. I hope this helps.

No, not at all. This is a great coffee maker. I also make tea in it from time to time.

No. The largest coffee you can brew from this machine is a longo which is equivalent of 2 -3 expresso's.

No, the unit brews coffee so fast usually within six minutes and by itself it occasionally fills the basket getting coffee everywhere. Adding the paper will slow the flow resulting in a flood on your counter. Please do not ignore the bad reviews on this maker like I did. You'll wind up with buyers remorse very quickly as it's beauty does not last. All the open seams allow stains and coffee grinds to get everywhere inside this unit where you cannot clean.

Yes to both. You can make the coffee stronger by using more coffee grinds, a finer grind, hotter water, less water, slower pour, or a longer exposure. Essentially the heat of the water and the length of exposure and the amount of coffee grinds all determine how much off the coffee oils can be drawn out of the beans. So, for example, fine grounds have more surface area than the same amount of coarse ground coffee. This means more of it is exposed to the water and more of the oils that make up coffee can be drawn out making a stronger cup of coffee.

Short answer YES. Whether I select 8oz or 14oz the coffee is brewed correctly

It will brew whatever amount of water you pour into it. Example: if you fill it with 1/2 pot of water, you will get 1/2 pot of coffee. And so on & so forth. But be sure to only put in enough grounds to accomodate that amount of water. Unless you want really strong coffee.

Yes, it's normal and makes more sounds when on strong setting. Makes good coffee, better than standard Keurig IMO.

It's ok coffee. It's really strong brewed. Tough to get the beans ground correctly.

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

As a strong coffee lover I can tell you that the Vue system makes a much better and optionally a stronger cup if coffee. I loved my K-cup machine, but it does not produce a strong cup of coffee. It has been retired. The Vue makes a great cup of coffee, and if you hit the strong button it is awesome.

To brew a regular cup of coffee, let the unit finish the first brewing cycle, you can then push the brew button again (do not put another pod in and do not remove the original pod). Adjust your coffee strength by how many times you press the button and let it complete each cycle (I usually press the tall brew 3 separate times for making a pretty strong cup of coffee on the same pod).

Just add more coffee before brewing and it will be stronger. That or buy bold coffee. Its a great choice for the money. Its only a twenty dollar coffee pot amd it has A LOT A OF FEATURES for the price!

Yes. There is a selector switch on top of the coffeemaker that allows you to brew a single cup of coffee or two cups at once.

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, regular and strong. I might add the coffee is very hot. Excellent coffee

It can, especially if you purchase the attachment that allows you to use your own coffee. As this is refillable, so you FILL IT with your choice of coffee and brew as large a cup as you wish (up to 18 oz).
