Why does the medium roast taste so badly? I got the deep roast and was impressed. I then ordered the medium roast and it is undrinkable! It tastes lik

Maybe you can use two pods of the medium. That's what they recommend for 8 ounces anyway.

I have ordered the same coffee and just love it. Are you using bottled water? Are you rinsing your Senseo's pod holder? If you like strong coffee you might want to go back to medium roast. You could also place two pods in the coffee maker - making sure to use the little implement...

I had the same problem recently. But I had bought 3 boxes and one box was awful and the other 2 were great. So I think it is a quality issue. We just got a dud box.I called Senseo Customer Service and they said they could do nothing and I had to contact Amazon.

I think it is just their name. I found that it did not have that much caffine. It was a good coffee, but I would not say it was over the caffine limit. I like my coffee strong. I am not sure how you like yours. If you are a medium roast coffee drinker this probably would not be a good choice. But if up for something different it nice good.

The is an excellent roaster. I'd highly recommend it. When the garlic is roasted, it is easily squeezed from its cloves. When squeezed, the garlic is much like a paste, with a nutty taste. I've used it as a base for spreads, pizza, pasta sauce etc.

Hi Joel, It really is a matter of trail and error, and taste. I find that the darker roast coffee's tend to give a better output. I use a fine/coarse grind. They work pretty well!

no, Italian does not taste like French Roast...it is bold, but another taste......the only way we can use the tullys French Roast now, is to either use 2 K -cups per mug, or reduce water to "tea cup".We loved the coffee, why fix what is not broken?...it is NOT the same as the all brown foil tops

I am receiving my new coffee maker today, and i was wondering what kind of coffee beans to use, I came accross Kirkland Signature beans at outlet store for $3 for 2 lbs. and they are def. I mix with French Roast, and this makes a good cup, but the good buy at $3 is no more.

Hello, Christie.... The taste was fine. The temp was about average for coffeemakers, but since I like mine really hot, I give it a little boost in the microwave after putting in the cream. It's hard to find a pot that makes it really hot.Alice

Mute point, it is dreadful.... but fyi, I am not a fan of Starbucks. I just bought it to see if they had anything going on. I own a coffee roastery and am very particular about my roasts. Starbucks is almost always burnt. They have a loyal base of people who like the burnt taste but it isn't what true specialty coffee is about. Via is no exception...

Thanks for your responses! I was hoping there was a way to adjust the strength because the coffee is too strong. I use Tully's French roast and it makes a great cup of coffee in the drip coffee maker, but this Krups does such an excellent job of making the most of these coffee beans, it looks like I may need to find a medium roast bean. Any suggestions? ;-)

My wife and I both like "RedHots" brand. We bought THESE because of the low cost. We found Hoosier Hill to be just about as good as RedHots. My tastebuds are in very good shape, and we found NO problem like you described. Sounds like your batch got contaminated somehow.

Truthfully I do not know. I'm to the point that I buy my coffee beans that are on sale unless I know they don't have a good flavor. The beans I got were very good not quite as strong as some of the others.

I love the medium, Patti. It's called Three Sisters and is a delicious blend. If you like very strong coffee, go with the dark. Hope you like it! BH

Its mild in my opinion. If you want a strong taste you'll have to look for a darker roast. If you want mild you've come to the right place.

My beans do smell a little... acrid and icky. I'm making extract right now and it smells strongly of vodka and vanilla, no trace of that acrid smell. However my vanilla has been maturing for two months and it's still not ready. Kind of a bummer, but not their fault.

The problem I had with this cooker, which relates to the above question, is that it doesn't have a low enough temperature. I'd slow cook on low, and the stuff would be boiled to mush in an hour. I suspect the same thing happened with the burned roast. This cooker doesn't go low enough. I like the suggestion of browning and then cooking the rest of the way on low, but that's still pretty hot. Something needs to keep the bottom of the pan, where I assume the temp gauge is, thinking there are no cool spots.

I have been frequenting the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf retail stores for years. I like my coffee to taste like it does when I place an order at the stores. When I add milk to my coffee for a latte' I use 2 heaping tablespoons. When I add the powder to black coffee I use 3 sometimes 4 heaping tablespoons. (This is for a 16 ounce cup of coffee) It really is preference! I would play with the taste until you find what works for you. Make sure you mix it good or it will be lumpy and will also become gummy at the bottom. I use a frother which works great! You can get one on amazon. Bonjour makes a great one! This powder is not only great in hot coffee but I love to blend it with cold, strong coffee or coffee extract and ice in the blender ( sometimes with milk) and blend it, it is also great in tea and the powder adds amazing flavor to smoothies! I hope this helps you?????????

Maybe you have a bad filter. Call their 800 number or email them on their website. I broke the top and they replaced it for free. I have not had any issue with taste. Did u measure it with supplied tester?
