I have two of these and use them constantly. I was unhappy with the strength of the coffee when using an amount dictated by the spring. I cut a 3/8 section out of the bottom of a used K Cup, pushed it in to hold the spring down and loaded in the filter and coffee.
Works fantastic. Great strong coffee every time.
If I were able to send this hit and miss gadget back and get a refund I would. No matter how I packed it or varied the grind it never gave me consistent results unless I considered consistently weak coffee a plus. I don't. Some other reviews were positive. I stand by mine nonetheless.
My daughter and also one of my close friends have this same model coffee maker and both praised it. I bought and I'm very satisfied with my purchase. I also bought a Kurig "My K Cup" or whatever it's called with the wire screen basket. It's worthless in my estimation unless you like real weak coffee. I then purchased Perfect Pod E-Z Cup with a supply of paper filters and now make coffee the way I like it.
Nor has using the prepackaged K cups failed to give me the coffee I expected.
This is overall a convenient way to insure a fresh cup of coffee any time it's desired.
