However, this filter must be replaced every couple of month or so. Distilled water should not be used in Keurig and the sensor in its water reservoir fails to detect distilled water. If you are an avid coffee lover who prefers a strong 8 oz.
This makes about grams of coffee. Most of the reusable K-cups cannot contain this much coffee. A convenient way to get a strong cup of coffee is to use dark roasted coffee. You can brew it at 8 or 6-ounce setting. Its more convenient with the 2. All you need to do is fill the filter with the ground coffee and ensuring you do not fill past the Max fill line. Now gently tap the filter on the counter and level the top. Do not press the coffee. For best results, brew at 6 or 8-ounce cup setting.
Choosing the right ground coffee plays the most vital role while drinking coffee from reusable Keurig K-cups. If you prefer your coffee to be strong or you drink coffee in large cups, then dark roast would be the appropriate choice for you. In this case, buy coffee labelled dark or French roast. If you prefer light coffee, then breakfast blends would work well for you. If you are running out of time to run your most important chores, and cannot drink the bitter coffee either, then you can neutralize the taste a bit with little bit of salt.
Regardless of the size you select which is 6 oz, 8 oz or 10 oz. The amount of coffee grounds used is the same. Bigger size would indicate that the coffee would be watery. It is better if you opt for the 6-ounce or 8-ounce cup. This will create a double chamber for you. This will keep the water in for longer time and increases the extraction process.
This hack is for those who love their coffee bold and strong. They are set to brew coffee at degrees Fahrenheit default temperature, but as per the National Coffee Association, optimum temperature for brewing is between and degrees Fahrenheit. This means that one needs to be careful of the brewing temperature as anything under degrees F leads to flat and under-extracted coffee.
If you are the kind of person who essentially functions on coffee and can barely go without it, then you might be prone to drinking large size cups to get the perfect doze of caffeine. However, as mentioned above, large size cup actually means weak and watered-down coffee. What you can do to get the maximum and strong flavour of your liking is to brew two cups instead of one K-cup to get the most out of your coffee.
This way, you can get the stronger coffee but in the same size that you feel is appropriate for you to kick start your day. The amount of time that the coffee beans are in contact with water is imperative.
Dec 20, 27 0 Barrie. Just about a week or so ago, my Keurig K50 made decent coffee. After that, I started to get a bitter, burnt taste. And fearing that it could be my water, which is city municipal water, may be causing the problem. Although, I wasn't sure and purchased a icoffee express single serve brewer. It ended having that same bitter burnt flavor!
It took some of the bad taste out This morning I get up and use the resuable K cup holder to make fine grind brew. It comes out tasting bland and bitter. Bad aftertaste. Last thing I do tonight is pull out my old sunbeam 12 brew. A cheapie that worked well for a good two to three years. It's taste is off as well! A slight smell of plastic perhaps? It's either the water or my coffee makers?
I used very hard filtered water for the Keurig, and tried to use only bottled spring water for the icoffee. The regular pot I brewed tonight was made with filtered tap water.

The other reason is just lousy coffee. Perhaps you are evolving. John P said:. Click to expand Apr 29, 2, 0 Quetzaltenango, Guatemala. And it is not from your water, coffee maker.
If you like heavy body, rich and earthy flavor, choose any of Indonesian coffee. Thanks for the advice. Definitely something to think about. I think I've had it with the one cup coffee makers though. Initially, I wanted something simple to use, where I could use K cups and brew my own coffee. I had the Keurig for some months before the taste went bad.
After that, the only good tasting beverage I could get was from the kettle. Hamilton Beach also makes a 12 cup percolator, where it's possible just to make one cup of coffee. The thing is made of stainless steel.
No plastic. Thus, by the time, the coffee loses its essence. Well, however, the work seems easy, we always expect a shortcut.
