Any coffee drinkers ( I mean serious coffee drinkers) notice a difference? While still being able to drink coffee? Thanks

I did not give up coffee while using this and I still saw really nice, positive results. :)

I am pleased wirh the taste of the coffee. I amoverall pleased with the product. The only thing that I have difficulty with is thst the resevoir for the H2O is so dark that I have difficulty seeing how much H2O I have put in. Otherwise, I love this appliance!

I don't know. I don't drink coffee, just my husband and he drinks it all day long. I think he might drink it a little weaker than most people. I use two coffee scoops to make what is the 8 cup line on the water tank. It is as strong if not a little stronger than the same amount of coffee and water in with the old coffee maker we had (which had an adjustment for strength) on its strongest.

I tried the Senseo and so far have enjoyed every flavor, this was my goal to be able to switch around and not drink the same thing all the time. I bought a pod maker too so will try some coffee that I buy and grind myself. More fun to come.....

I'm really not sure why some people say this. I drink only decaf because I'm sensitive to caffeine. I don't notice any caffeine effect (jittery, unable to sleep) when drinking this coffee. Of course, I'm not a chemist so I can't tell you for sure how MUCH caffeine is in it, but that's been my experience.

The matter of caffeine content by roast isn't as simple as darker coffees having less caffeine, depending on how you brew, grind, and measure, either can be said to have more but the difference is so negligible that it's not really a factor worth much note. The choice of dark roast for this coffee was probably a decision made for taste, since this coffee is almost certainly artificially enhanced the dark roast makes for a stronger coffee taste to mask any additions to the grounds.

I did on the first one but not after that. I think its because it was a new thing to me. Now my coffee tastes like coffee.

I had the green coffee supplement when I did mine. A friend had the actual colon cleanse when she used hers. I don't think there was a lot of difference between the two of us as far as results went.

I noticed the same thing. I'm not sure why this is, but the best I could figure is the filtration basket , and disc are not good. I threw this make away and just bought another brand & the coffee tastes fine again. Never changed the amount.

Just tried less than half full for the first time last week. It did not brew as well as I would have liked. We typically brew at least 8 cups and have never had an issue. I noticed when my husband was away for the weekend and I brewed a much smaller pot that it wasn't perking as usual. I added a little more water, it worked fine. Aside from this one issue, we loved perked coffee and have never had a bad cup using this percolator. We will purchase again, indeed, and have a back up pot on hand.

Just add more coffee or get stronger coffee. We use different kinds of coffees. This has been perfect for us! Hope this kind of helped in some way!

I don't notice any change until I get to drinking the last of the coffee. Since the container is large, you could just opt to pour out the last few ounces if it's too strong for your taste.

Loved the review/blog... Hope the tachycardia has decreased! When we first got our Bunn my husband drank pots, not cups, of coffee in one sitting so we are familiar with your tachycardia issue.

Ours does the same sometimes and generally indicates the tank hasn't been properly seated in the machine. Make sure to carefully place the tank when you fill it and that should reduce the problem. I know this is hard before having coffee so perhaps fill the tank the day before when your brain has already been caffienated.

I too have been waiting to see recent reviews. Seem to be trending positive lately - and I note that one review commented: "... new FDA guidelines, they can't put whole stevia in this anymore, so it's just an "extract" which is much more bitter". While I cannot confirm that, it makes sense. I used to put 3 drops in a cup of coffee, and now am putting in 10, and to flavor yogurt, have had to similarly double/triple. I have not noticed the bad taste/bitter taste others noted.

Joseph, I had my first cup of Barista Prima this morning. I found it to be much more bitter than Jet Fuel. I don't drink Jet Fuel for the extra caffeine; I do for the flavor. My taste still leans heavily toward Jet Fuel over Barista Prima, which I found to be too bitter. But I'm always open to trying new coffee!

I'm a coffee drinker, so the caffeine doesn't have much of an impact on me. I would imagine that the content is fairly low.
