The coffee is coming out no so strong in this maker when compared to others. Any way to make brew stronger? No strength selector.

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!

Add more coffee?? Did you use more than one filter? Sometimes they stick together.

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!

the strength of the coffee only depends on how much coffee you use. the weak or strong, depending on how much coffee, has turned out perfectly in this maker, no problem at all

LOL! Welcome to the club Grergory! I've had mine for about a year. Although it makes very good coffee I like mine quite strong. The brew basket on this unit isn't sized for "too much" ground coffee, so if you want it strong you have to make it in smaller batches. Also, be sure to take the shower head out and clean it after brewing as the grinds float to the top and stick to it.Jon GordonI know this is a bummer, but this is just one of the short comings of this unit. Better by a replacement basket now, if you can get one, as Bodum isn't making them anymore and if yours cracks like mine did, then you'll be out of luck. LOL! Welcome to the club Grergory!

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.

hello there,as a matter of fact, i do use paper filters, in order to acquire stronger coffee. but be careful not to fully load water, since it will not be able to brew it (paper filter delays brewing). usually i fill it with 2-4 cups of water and it brews o.k. give it a try and i am at your disposition for any further information. thanks a lot, christina mavraganis.

I like my coffee not as strong as most people, so I've adjusted the beans accordingly. Just practice till you get the strength you prefer.

To make it stronger, increase the dose- right knob in coffee bin and or increase grind- left knob.I don't know how to make the coffee hotter.

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

I don't think the strength of the coffee is determined so much by the brewer as the coffee used. A dark roasted coffee used in the correct ratio to coffee and water should brew a rich, dark cup of coffee. That's my experience. I really like my little coffeemaker! It works very well.

You don't need as much coffee with this maker. Try using 3-4 scoops. I find you use a lot less coffee than other brands.

You can add water only up to the level line where marked inside and use less coffee grains to make it weak. It will work that way too.

Not sure if you have tried these two things but you can increase the Aroma setting which will strengthen the coffee or you can also adjust the dial under the bean lid so grind the bean more finely and that may also help get it stronger for you. Good luck :)

How do you get it to work well? We just got one for our B31 and it makes very weak coffee! What kind of coffee do you use with it?

It really depends on how you brew. I've see so many different ways and tried a few. Some were good some not so good. It's worth a try to find a recipe you like

After trying a couple of different coffee blends that did not seem to work and the coffee was extremely weak I found somewhere that you could try a finer grind. I have a tiny electric coffee grinder so I took the coffee that I already had and ground it some more and it worked! I think the answer is to grind the already ground coffee finer. In fact, my coffee is now very strong.

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!

We have been very satisfied with the strength settings. Could it be the beans you are using? If not, I would recommend having the company evaluate your machine.

I don't think I can help you. Different makes of coffee makers produce slightly different coffee - sometimes you have to adjust the amount of coffee. Are you switching from another brand? Making less than four cups?
