I don't like strong coffee,does it only make strong?

You make the coffee to whatever preference you choose . . . the brand, the grind, or the strength. Your choice.

That is the great thing about this single cup brewer. You can use whatever brand or flavor and make it as strong or weak as you like, you put the amount of coffee in. You do need paper coffee filters and they are easy to get at the grocery store. It is much cheaper than any of the pod coffee makers per cup. We have had ours over a year and would highly recommend it.

The strength of the coffee is primarily a function of how much ground coffee one places into the KitchenAid relative to the amount of water. A lesser factor is the degree of the grind; courser grounds produce weaker coffee; finer grounds, stronger coffee.

I think it is true, yes. I prefer my coffee fairly strong, so maybe I'm more likely to notice when the coffee is a bit weaker. I tried alternating between the permanent filter on some days and paper filters on other days. I could always taste a difference, so I put the permanent filter away and use only paper filters now.

I'd say quite the opposite is true with Chemex, though the why of it stumps me. It's true that you can make your coffee as strong or weak as you like by adjusting your brewing technique, volume of grinds, size of grinds, etc... but I'd say that where Chemex excels is creating a smooth non-bitter flavour even in an unusually strong brew. In my opinion, It's the antithesis of a press brew in that regard.

we have had no problem with our coffee being weak. however we don't like our coffee real strong. I have no idea what kind of coffee you are using but if it is too weak for your taste you may want to try a bolder blend and make sure you are filling the EZ cup using two heaping teaspoons of the blend.

Not sure if you have tried these two things but you can increase the Aroma setting which will strengthen the coffee or you can also adjust the dial under the bean lid so grind the bean more finely and that may also help get it stronger for you. Good luck :)

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

It doesn't make he coffee weaker but I tap the filter when I put the coffee in so it's evenly distributed and not just a pile.I have been using one now for 8 years or more and hate when I go somewhere and have to use paper filters.

As with any coffee if you use little water, it's strong, as more water goes through the premeasred fixed capacity k-cup it gets progressively weaker. There are some "darker" blends that are stronger. Generally, I personally get one strong cup and one weak one per K-cup.

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! It has the two settings. You can make pretty weak coffee...also the different sizes help with the strength level...believe me..we ALL have that family member...�

I have used all different grinds. I like espresso, but I have relatives who like weaker coffee.

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

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!

It's a little stronger - especially if you let every last drop into your cup. Works for me - I like my coffee to have "Character".

No, I really like the coffee. The only thing I can tell you is set it on the bold setting and see if you like it better.

Hi, the other two answers are correct. But are you making coffee or espresso? If you are making coffee you can also adjust the strength by adjusting the amount made, which will make it stronger. Personally, I use espresso beans for the strongest flavor and always make espresso. If I want coffee or less strong espresso I just add hot water from my instant hot water device at my sink. Also, since the espresso uses less water from the machine I don't have to refill the water compartment as often.

That totally depends on how strong you want your coffee and what type of coffee you use.
