If you fill up the coffee ground and dispense one cup at a time, won't the first cup be super strong and the last cup super weak?

Not at all Daniel. In fact, I have found the first cup to be weak. If you are making multiple cups of coffee it takes a little while for all the coffee to be soaked through and it is only then that you get an even strength.

No, because the coffee is brewed the same way as a regular coffee maker: the water is filtered through the ground coffee and falls into the reservoir. The coffee does change flavor with age, because of the heating element below the reservoir.

No. At least not as you've described it. For example, if you asked for six cups and dispensed five, and let the sixth cup be dispensed after two hours, I believe the sixth cup would be stronger. If you allowed the machine to make all six cups and then dispense them one at a time, all of the dispensed cups should taste the same.

No. It brews a the whole pot at once. You dispense one cup at a time but you brew all the coffee at the same time and it keeps it hot for however long you set it. The pot, really more of a bucket, is stainless steel so no scorching smell or taste.

No it does not Dan. The coffee is brewed all at the same time. If you make one cup or eight cups you would have the same taste every time. To have stronger or weaker coffee would be determined by the amount of grounds you use.

No but shouldn't you be able to control the strength by the amount of coffee you use? The paper filters that I buy are flimsy so I use two at a time. Contrary to another reviewer, this is the nicest, easiest coffeemaker to use. Nothing complicated, unlike our old Krups. I've had it for more than a year and am very happy with it.

Yes. Even the 5 oz cups are dispensed in multiples. I can pull one out at a time with the "right" touch, but nearly everyone else gets more than one.

I haven't tried to use them twice, so I'm not sure. However, when I have put too much water in and let it all go through, the coffee has gotten diluted. So my guess is that one pod wouldn't give you enough for two tries. But give it a try once and see!

I don't drink coffee, so couldn't say. My husband does, and he has not complained about difference in strength from other coffeemakers. He seems very satisfied with this model. I hope this helps.

Of course you can, but you'll also need to add less coffee...unless you want a real strong cup of coffee.

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

The first time i used mine i did taste that the coffee was weaker, but it has more to do with the distribution of the coffee grounds than anything. If you just dump your scoops of coffee in the middle without spreading them out you'll get weak coffee. I don't have this problem anymore, so just make sure you're using it right.

There is no control on the machine. You choose the various coffee pods for strength and flavor. It does have 2 settings for cup size, so I suppose if you used the bigger choice, the coffee would be less strong.

Per my wife: if she wants one mug she puts in two cups of water and add some beans and the machine will do its job. For her the coffee is on the strong side which she likes but never too weak it comes out just right. As for filling the machine with water and asking for one mug she does not do that, she will only fill the machine when we have a house full of guess.

Hi, One of the nice features is that you can control the strength by adjusting the amount of grounds. The flow rate is also related to the amount of coffee grounds but not significantly. I use an expresso grind and sometimes I even pour part of the finished blend through the filter again to get the most out of the grounds although that is not necessary. The good thing is that you can experiment until you get your perfect blend without wasting anything by having to do it over as you would with a machine. Simple and inexpensive but not "cheap" makes the best design possible.

I don't clearly understand the question. If you are asking if the filter will hold enough ground coffee to make twelve cups of coffee at one time then the answer is yes.

It all depends upon how finely ground the coffee is and how tightly it's packed in the holder. Essentially, you control the amount of pressure required.

Sure. You'll have to play with the amount of coffee and water to get the number of cups and strength you like but you can make anything from a single cup up to six.

Would likely be too weak if you additional water to it after brewing it, in my opinion.
1477458
Of course! I live in New Orleans and definately don't drink weak brew. The amount (and kind) of coffee you add to the basket, plus the amount of water you pour in dictates the strength of the brew.

There is an inner ring you will notice as you open the lid. Don't fill above that line and you won't have any problems. It's not how much coffee you use actually the less is best.
