Excellent coffee maker. Excellent coffee after adjusting the amounts to personal taste. 64g of ground coffee to make 40oz of brewed coffee? Way too strong for me. That amount of coffee in the filter will cause splatter on the counter as so many have mentioned. I'm making a full pot (40oz) with 42g of medium-grind gourmet coffee in the filter. For me it's perfect. Full body flavor, no bitterness and no splatter! That's what I'm talkin' about! 5-stars!
