So I have had the Technivorm for about a month now and still am not happy with the strength and flavor of the coffeee I am (poorly) brewing.
Started out with 2 lbs of Inteligentsia coffee and starting at and then going beyond the 2 tbs per 6 oz water, trying many grinds from fine to medium (I have a Krups GVX2-14 grinder), gold and paper filters, full drip and restricted drip on the filter holder, letting water build up in the filter before opening the flow and most combos of all of that, I still am not getting good strong coffee.
It looks to me like the first of the brew to flow out is dark to about what I would expect to be strong coffee, but by the end its looking more translucent than I would hope.
I had been using a Cuisinart DCC-120 and was hoping to improve on it with the Technivorm.
Any one have any tips or recommendations?
Thnaks,
Sean
