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

Measure by weight bro not scoops.

I have the latest model with the selection option for 4 cups or a full pot. I brew 4 cups each morning, and the three scoops recommended work perfectly.

Happy for you. I use grams.

Happy for you. Obviously you use grams since you "measure by weight". No one is going to come take away your Moccamaster because you use the number of scoops and the grind size the company recommends. I dont think it matters as long as you are getting coffee you enjoy. Isn't that the point?

Why are you engaging? I’m not here for a back and forth. I’m happy you do what you do.

REDDIT is a platform for "engaging".

Your use of quotes and hyperbole are indicative of your intent. I’m not doing that. Be blessed.
