The coffee tastes good, but the machine simply makes weak coffee. To put it into perspective, I finely grind beans at a quantity that would make most 12 cup brewers make very bitter, super strong coffee. With this machine, you can just about see through the pot when it is finished. It seems like I use more and more coffee every day trying to fix the problem. I suspect this is because it brews so fast.The other comments are correct: with the sprayer head it comes with, you will have a counter full of erupted wet coffee grinds. You need to send away for the slower spray head. While this does fix the problem, I feel that the coffee actually got even weaker, perhaps due to less contact with extra hot water.I have mixed feelings about continuing to use this machine. I don't want to feel that I wasted over $100, but I might go back to using my cheap old drip machine.
