Weak Coffee: Any suggestions?

Bunn has a fix for that, an optional spray head that restricts the flow and increases the brew time. Also try using finer grinds, not just more grinds. If you do use more or finer grinds, however, make sure you are using Bunn-brand filters that have the taller sides to avoid overflows. Good luck!

You could make less, just put less coffee and water in. You'd have to experiment to get it exactly the strength you like.

Your grind was probably too coarse. Try increasing it finer. Mine is set between espresso setting (maximum finest) and drip coffee grind. I too sometime wish it can be stronger, but Keurig+Ekobrew is more convenient than other method of brewing.

Put strong coffee in it. Coffees come in different strengths, get the bold dark dark roast

You'll need to run another cycle, either of the same type, or you can get creative and add a chocolate or an extra espresso. They have now come out with new Gevalia & Maxwell House breakfast coffee discs which do produce more, using one overflowed my usual cup which was never filled by the original size. I found the new large ones at Bed Bath & Beyond. Use the 20% off coupon that they send out weekly in the mail.

If you can find paper filters, let me know. It works pretty well, but here are too many coffee grounds in the cup for me.

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.

You can create a bolder brew with a "strong" setting - I use a refillable adaptor so I brew the strength I want (cheaper, too because I can buy packaged coffee)

I too, hate weak coffee. I know how to make 36 cups of coffee in this urn. I use 3 1/2 cups of ground coffee.I hope it works well for you.

I returned my Keuring after 10 days. Solodil with my favorite fresh grind or Vue Cup both yield the same poor results. Keurings brew lousy under-brewed coffee. Period.

I had to do a lot of experimenting. Here's my fix. I use a strong French roast, Starbucks French Roast or Kirkland's Sumatra whole bean. I have a Mr. Coffee burr grinder set at 'coarse'. I use 1 rounded Tbsp. grounds per cup of coffee. This coffee pot did not perform well with a standard grind or med/weak coffee. The coarse grind also reduces sediment and makes cleanup a tad easier. We are finally enjoying our morning coffee again.

Try just turning the selector counter - clockwise. We always leave ours on strong and adjust the strength with the amount of coffee we put in.

You need to order one. I will tell you the truth I have one and the coffee is weak. Bought paper and what a difference!!

I will use a stronger coffee and just put the same k-cup through the cycle twice. I can get a travel-mugs worth and it doesn't affect the flavor much.

That's for your to experiment with. Some people love very strong coffee while others prefer it weak. Try it straight first, then add a little water at a time, tasting it each time as you add, and see how much water to coffee you prefer.

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!

We have only had this 2 days and we use very strong beans. We filled the grinder to the top for a 12 cup pot, and it was soooooo weak that it tasted like water. These are the same beans we used in our old coffee maker that gave us ridiculously strong coffee every time. I dumped out my coffee both days this week and drank my Keurig single cups. Try again tomorrow with less water maybe.
