Hello:
There are a few different ways to get to a coffee that you will enjoy. There is no way to change your brew on the Keurig except for selecting a bigger cup size of brew cup. For example, I have a Keurig K65 which gives me three choices of cup size: 6, 8, and 10 ounces. The 10 ounce will not be as strong as the 6 ounce cup. Outside of the machine, the most effective way of getting a better cup of coffee is to select the right coffee. Coffee is roasted to various levels of darkness. There are city roasts (the lightest, more smoother of the roasts), French roast, and espresso roast. You might consider a Columbian Supremo or another city roast coffee to avoid some of the bitterness. You can also add milk or creamer.
Personally, I grind my own coffee and I find having freshly ground coffee reduces some of the bitterness.
Juan

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.
