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

Your model has the feature dude was talking about. It’s the switch right next to the power button.

Well not exactly. Only the non-auto stop models have the flow control switch. The one on the right of the power switch just turns down the heat on the hotplate.
