We recently purchased this machine having had good luck in past with Cuisinart. We’ve used this coffee maker a dozen times so far, and have had nothing but butter tasing coffee. So disappointed. We use only bottled water and Starbucks and 8 o’clock cofeee which is fresh beans and have tried adjusting water to bean ratio, burr grind and coffee strength, and have the filter in place, and still Bitter coffee! Not good.
