I never choose a dark roast, according to what it says on the box. It says
it is mild or medium, but it is bitter. I can even smell the bitter. Are
their different strengths of brew on the menu? If so, how many pushes of
the menu button do I do to find them, and do I left or right arrow to make
it less strong? Pam.

I'm sorry that you think the coffee is bitter. I don't but then, everyone
has different taste. Would the type of roast you choose perhaps make a
difference. I know there is dark and medium and there might be one more.
Good luck.

That's why I use the largest cup, not necessarily because I always want a
large cup of coffee. Even the large ones come out strong and bitter on my
Kurrig. Pam.

Hi Everyone
,Remember with the pod if you make a larger cup of coffee using the same
size pod the coffee will get weaker because you are using more water and
still using the same one ounce coffee pod.
The water goes through the pod and into the cup so if you use more water
the
coffee will be weaker.
It is not like brewing a tea bag in a cup for a longer time to make a
larger
cup of tea.
