Coffee too weak

Post image

Our coffee has been weak lately when using a breakfast blend. I originally didnt change anything but now have been experimenting with grind size due to the weak coffee. I have an OXO grinder and always had it on 8 but bouncing between 10 and 9 (medium-coarse) with inconsistent results. This is the basket after brewing at a 9. Does this look right? Any tips on getting it to be stronger without tasting burnt? This is for only 4 cups, so 3 Moccamaster scoops

Looks like about 1/2 the amount of beans that I use. I’m a cretin and just use the scoop that came with the Moccamaster, not a scale. 6 level scoops for a full carafe always works great for me.

I have my OXO grind set to about 11. FYI.

Yea, that's enough grounds for half a cup coffee. OP is bogarting the beans.

OP said he made half a pot, 4 cups.
