It don't make it taste stronger but will give you the kick you get from espresso. If your looking for the taste of espresso you won't get it from this

it is like adding a small amount of espresso (as far as energy) but keep in mind this is not a very large shot, it is the same size as a normal half and half container.. hope you enjoy it, if you want to sample it first some gas stations like Kangaroo have them out for use..

Instead of using this just add a packet of Nescafe or some other instant pack. They actually have more caffeine, do make the coffee stronger tasting and are fairly inexpensive. You can get Nescafe packets on the Moon they are so common.

Yes, we did, adding a tablespoon to my regular coffee to add the chickory flavor. I think it worked a bit better in our cold brew system but it does work for hot pour over.

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 :)

Yes- it is best with a coffee maker that has different brew strengths- I set mine on robust for the stronger flavor. It is also better if you use the reusable filter instead of te paper ones

My neighbor works at Starbucks and he says lighter is stronger. Their blond coffee is very yummy and strong. I expected death wish to be amazing strong. It tasted OK and woke me up but it is not worth the money and wait in my book.

Absolutely. Go for as fine a ground as you can get without coffee dust flying out of the machine. A very fine setting and dark-roast beans will get you the strongest flavor -- because the more surface area that touches the water, the stronger the brew. I also use more coffee per cup than most instructions suggest: 1/4 cup of grounds per 8-oz mug of coffee. I prefer medium dark beans and less than espresso strength. You get more coffee flavor from beans that aren't dark roasted, in my opinion and that of many coffee roasters, baristas, buyers and growers. If you like the burnt bitterness of espresso, though, go for it. Absolutely. Go for as fine a ground as you can get without coffee dust flying out of the machine.

The coffee is much smoother, it doesn't have that thick, rich taste of a French press. I found I was able to get more a French press flavor by pouring hot water and stirring the grounds a second time. You'll get more of the oils and the "crema" that way.

You want expresso grind to be powder like and feel smooth between your fingers. If your beans are freshly roasted you can try one step less fine because the beans have a little more moisture in them. Really fresh ground beans should brew with some "crema" brown foam on top. That amount of crema is a clue to freshness. Different beans with different roast times also can change the "best" grind setting. Experiment, LOL

I like my coffee not as strong as most people, so I've adjusted the beans accordingly. Just practice till you get the strength you prefer.

i love storng coffee and espresso. mine was too strong- but after 3 weeks it is perfect.maybe you are not putting the grind on the correct setting- also- best to use french roast, espresso beans- etc for strong flavors

The Tim Hortons is a light roast so not as rich as other roasts. I think it has a very good flavor, but if you want a richer flavor you may need to use more coffee per cup. I don't know anything about expresso machines. If you want a richer, darker roast, try the Bali Blue Moon, which I also like.

That's true but I buy the unsweetened powder for the flavor. I have put it in my coffee for a rich chocolate taste and now I put it in my chocolate protein drinks that I make for the added chocolate taste too, I hope this helps. If you need further info-let me know. Good luck!

Percolator coffee tastes richer and more satisfying in my opinion. I can't speak to the expresso question but would think coffee brand and amount used could be managed for an acceptable result.

Unfortunately, no. The strongest cup of coffee I've made so far was with fresh-ground beans and the 'gold' coffee pod I bought on Amazon. (Really like that, by the way. You can adjust the coarseness and strength of the grounds.) I haven't tried it with "espresso" beans, but would think you could get a pretty stout cup that way. All of this, of course, pretty much cancels out the 'instant' factor touted by the makers of these machines. And I still think the water needs to be hotter to get good flavor extraction.

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 have not tried that but would experiment. I would add just a small amount at first because it has a strong flavor and then just keep adding more until you got it to the strength you liked.

I like my coffee really strong so I use espresso (fine) grind. I've noticed regular grind makes for a little weaker coffee.
