On the other hand, if I use the k cup filter and put a scoop of Dunken
Doughnuts coffee in there, which is the coffee we have used for several
years now, it comes out weak like tea. And I never used one scoop per cup
when I made a pot of coffee. I used about half that and it came out
stronger. So, I don't get this. Pam.
